Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps

Distingue-se do anterior pela inserção de uma grande fatia dramática na relação de abandono parental entre o antagonista e a noiva do protagonista, mantém a elegância e ganancia do mundo do bolsa de valores, entretanto sem o prestígio e brilhantismo anterior, baseada e ambientada na pré-fatídica crise financeira de 2009, com alguma tentativa de ação e emoção desnecessária, como a cena das motos, interessante e só… Alguns pais são monstros por dentro...

'Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps' falls short of its predecessor, even though it is still satisfactory. It does have issues, for example it overruns and has some ill-fitting editing. The original had top (+ better) performances but wasn't fully reliant on the cast, this is more so. It's cool to see Michael Douglas reprise his role, the same can be for that rather fan service-y moment in the middle of the film. Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin and Carey Mulligan are positive new faces and give enough, even if I've seen greater from each one of them in other productions. This 2010 sequel isn't as much about Wall Street as the first flick, which I think is a mistake. Of course there is plenty in there about it, but to me it felt much more about Gekko and his personal life - which isn't quite as interesting to watch unfold across 120+ minutes.

Still an impactful Oliver Stone movie, though I'd totally forgotten this was a sequel. Not so much about the dog-eat-dog world, but the human impact. Performances are top, in particular Shia LaBoeuf. Gordon Gekko became Michael Douglas' visiting card. However, I certainly missed some detailed aspects of the schemes involved...

One of those sequels that were not neccesary. Absolutely soul-less

This Wall Street sequel was pretty good. Michael Douglas, Shia LaBeouf, Carey Mulligan, Josh Brolin, Frank Langella, Susan Sarandon, and the rest of the cast did a pretty good job in this movie. The plot of the movie was dramatic and unexpected. It's about trying to do the right thing even if your ego gets in the way. If you haven't seen this movie yet, you might enjoy it. It wasn't great, but it wasn't terrible.

Though few expected it to be as good or better than the original film, I agree with other reviewers and critics who said that Wall Street Money Never Sleeps should have been better given the enormous talent in both its cast and production team. The best part of this film is the cameos by actors from the original. In rehashing the formula from 1987 too closely, it lacks originality and is nearly impossible to judge it on its own merits. I would only watch this again if there were nothing better to choose from.

Great film that definitely deserves a sequel featuring our present-day post Covid-19 financial reality.

A middling sequel. A far cry from previous Oliver Stone films but that fact won't be so apparent right off the bat due to the cast and sharp direction.

A rather unnecessary sequel than comes across as an excuse to give Gordon Gecko another airing.

Quite good enough for a sequel, but it doesn't even come close to the intruiging storytelling we love and know from the previous movie.
