<p>I haven't read much Ayn Rand. I have only read Atlas Shrugged, which I felt was a good explanation of the extremes. I found the book to be compelling in a way towards self-understanding of what my views are.</p>
<p>The film version left out every single bit of intensity possible. I was literally *bored* while watching it. I was aghast because I have listed to it as an audio book at least 20 times. This LA times review really hits it on the head. I feel that the director missed every single point that was made. The movie was dumbed down so much that there was literally nothing left to comprehend. If you had not read the book first I doubt you would have any idea what was going on in the film.</p>
