Title: Wall Street 2 Post by: brellium on January 29, 2011, 08:43:02 PM Picked it up as part of the box set, was not impressed.
Just seemed to preachy to me. Maybe I just know enough about what happened leading upto and prior to the crash. It was as if Stone took every marketable line anyone said prior to, during or after the crash and then shoe horned it to fit into the story. "If you rode as hard as I ride every single day for the rest of your life you would never ride like I ride." Corny. Though the cell phone was awesome.
