Chris S @Janomi Aug 30, 2026 Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps has some good ideas, but it is not as sharp as the original. The best thing about the movie is seeing Michael Douglas return as Gordon Gekko. He is older, more reflective, and less openly dominant, but he still has the same intelligence and survival instinct. The movie is most interesting when it questions whether Gekko has truly changed or is just adapting. The 2008 financial-crisis setting gives the sequel a natural reason to exist. The panic, collapsing firms, bailouts, toxic ambition, and market anxiety create a strong backdrop. Shia LaBeouf gives Jake a restless, ambitious energy, while Carey Mulligan brings hurt and skepticism to Winnie’s relationship with Gekko. The problem is that Jake and Winnie are not as interesting as Gekko or the market power games around him. The ending also softens Gekko too much, making him feel a little too redeemed. It has moments, but it is less focused and less memorable than the first film. See more The F @GordonGekko21 Aug 21, 2026 I love this movie, The music, cinematography, the cast. Shia is amazing See more Forrest M @RT32281296 Jun 16, 2026 "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps" is a sequel of the Yuppies Era classic "Wall Street". It makes an attempt to redeem Gordon Gekko after spending time in prison but it fails miserably. What saved the sequel from a disastrous rating is the ending scene between Bud Fox and his former mentor updating the latter of his business ventures. Too bad that we get to see Bud Fox himself becoming similar to Gordon Gekko as he become part of the usurious system of Wall Street.

It has a polished, modern look and tries to bring updated energy to the original film’s themes of finance, ambition, and consequence. The story is fairly straightforward, but it’s more about watching the characters navigate a high-pressure world than anything overly complex. It can feel a bit uneven at times, but it still holds attention thanks to strong performances and its sleek visual style. The pacing is steady, if not always exciting, and it leans more toward drama than thrill. Overall, it’s a solid watch if you go in without expecting too much intensity. I’d rate it a 6/10—decent, watchable, and a good setup mood-wise before something more visually immersive like TRON: Legacy.

The acting was good but unfortunately they had nothing to say but how much they hate people. So nihilistic this movie. See more Read all reviews
