Atlas shrugged is a masterpiece and should not be categorised anywhere near a series as dull as Harry Potter. Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody, just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

>Objectivism is god-tier ideology

The book is shit, the writer is shit, and the idiology is shit. The movie is fun, just like god is not dead.

The problem is that you want the movie to be more than what it can be based on already shitty material.

shit tier = if everyone like it i don't like it.

Go get your anti socialist behavior checked retard

People who like Atlas Shrugged have one or more of these traits:

>ignores terribly-written books because they agree with their ideologies
>blindly likes things that people they like like
>wants any reason to hate on socialism without forming their own meticulous argument
>stuck on a desert island with one book--Atlas Shrugged
