Redundant and unnecessary.

How sad is this?

Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

Admirable film.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is the type of movie that should be watched more than once especially if you don't know a lot about Wall Street and businesses.The movie opens with the foolish myth of how humans came into existence. One of the main characters "Jake Moore" (Shia LaBeouf) is a wall street guy who is dating "Winnie Gekko" (Carey Mulligan) grown daughter of "Gordon Gekko" (Michael Douglas). Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps presents a few different scenarios and situations, some more important than others. "Gordon Gekko" just gets out of prison and works to make a name for himself in the world of finance again, "Jake Moore" attempts to reconcile "Gordon Gekko" with his daughter "Winnie Gekko", "Winnie Gekko" has the attitude of disliking the business of Wall Street, yet she dates a Wall Street guy, that was briefly mentioned, but never explored further, what was explored was the negative traits of "Gordon Gekko", "Winnie Gekko" clearly is right about how "Gordon Gekko" uses people, but she is unfair towards him in other ways, example blaming him for her brother's wrong path in life, people make their own choices and her brother was grown, you can't blame the parent for the grown child's wrong decisions.A reviewer mentioned that "Shia LaBeouf looks too young to play a rich wall street guy", being young has nothing to do with it, this character went to college and then went straight into the world of wall street earning lots of money and he made investments, it isn't unbelievable at all.The lyrical soundtrack is absolutely awful, but not as bad as to ruin the movie.The performances are natural and there is a brilliant scene "Not About The Money" where "Winnie" reminds "Jake" of what is important in their current situation, Carey Mulligan is fantastic in that scene, she reacts just like a regular girlfriend would react in that situation.The scene where "Louis Zabel" (Frank Langella) kills himself by leaning over into an oncoming train is disturbing, what makes it disturbing is when the screen turns to black and the people in the train station all give a horrified scream all at once, it is supposed to be effective, but it is just too much, if you watch this with headphones on, take them off during that scene or skip over it, the flashback of the piercing screams later on in the movie is just as disturbing.Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps story line goes back and forth between the relationships of the main characters and "Gordon Gekko" trying to get back in the game as well as "Jake" turning into "Gordon Gekko" himself, until "Winnie" gives him a wake up call by temporarily leaving him.The at times contradictory attitude of "Winnie" is never established as if she is supposed to be contradictory or if she is always right, but viewers can make up their own mind and it's obvious, but she is a likable character who can easily seem confusing to the viewers.Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps also shows viewers if "Gordon Gekko" is for real or not, at one point he seems to want to change and then we see that he hasn't changed at all, but then it all comes down to the question of him truly wanting to be in his daughter's life again or not. What is unclear is if they reconciled, or if he just did the right thing by her at the end and left it at that due to him not being there at the very end scene at his grandchild/their child's 1st birthday party.Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is a good film, but they failed to be clear on a couple of scenarios, unless it was intentional.

I just wanted to write a review simply because I see that 99% of the reviews about this movie are negative? How on God's Green Earth is that possible? Whatever people want to say about this movie, it's not a freakin 1 out of 10, that's a total blasphemy.It's entertaining, great plot, solid acting, a twist, only the ending was somewhat disappointing.That's it.Other than that, it's a 7 or at worst, a 6.5. It's definitely worth seeing 2-3 times. Go check it out if you haven't already.

As far as modern Hollywood films go, WALL STREET: MONEY NEVER SLEEPS is all right. As a sequel to one of the best films of the '80s, it's a complete disappointment, with a watered-down script and even Oliver Stone off the boil. What happened to all the energy you used to find in his films? This one is sluggish and as a director he seems almost disinterested in the material.There are some good things about this film, but they're mostly the bits that reflect the first. Inevitably, Michael Douglas is the best thing in it, but he's given way too little screen time and there's a betrayal of his character in the first movie in that he's softened up this time around; he's not the Gordon Gekko of old. Josh Brolin's corporate bad guy is all right, but the two youthful leads, Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan, are absolutely horrible.LaBeouf is just out of his depth here and his acting stinks. The only film I liked him in was LAWLESS and all the rest have suffered as a result of his attempts at performance. Even worse is the single-expressioned Carey Mulligan's, whose perma-sad face is by far the most irritating thing in the whole movie. I almost had to look away every time she was on screen, she's that awful.The material starts off half-interesting, but the storyline takes ages to develop. The first hour or so retains the attention, but then there's a long, dry patch in the middle before things pick up a little at the end. Unfortunately, the final opinion I came away with is that this is a lazy cash-in, nothing more. A film that concentrated on Gekko alone without any of this kid stuff would have been much more gripping...

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is a great movie with a really well thought out storyline and a very talented cast.I know a lot of people were disappointed by this movie compared to the original Wall Street,but I honestly preferred,because the other one had a very dark setting to it that I didn't like,a lot of people probably did,and I also preferred Gordon Gekko as as a person in this.It felt very different,because the first one really felt like a Sheen family movie,since Charlie Sheen is the main character and Martin Sheen plays a role in it as well,its completely different in this,although I was happy they gave Charlie Sheen a cameo as Bud Fox and lets us know what happened to him after the events of Wall Street.I was also really impressed with Shia LaBeouf,its the first time I could take him seriously as an actor.I really don't see what critics problem was with this movie,I really enjoyed it and feel people who enjoyed Wall Street will like this too,it takes place exactly where the first left off,and Michael Douglas is as good as ever.After he is released from prison,Gordon Gekko (Michael Douglas) meets up with the man who is going to marry his daughter,and also has similar business problems that Bud Fox had,Gordon helps him out with his own business skills.Meanwhile,Gordon try's to win back his daughters love.
