Well now we’re intrigued!
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps might actually be a GOOD sequel. The Hollywood Repoter‘s Kirk Honeycutt writes:
“Thus Money Never Sleeps is that rare sequel that took its time — 23 years — so it not only advances a story but also has something new to say. The film overheats now and then but blame this on filmmaking passion. One senses a fully engaged filmmaker at the helm, driving the movie at a lightning pace as if in a hurry to get to the next scene or next aphorism that further illuminates this dark world.
“How audiences will react to revelations that may no longer be revelations is hard to say. But [Oliver] Stone has cast his movie well with Shia LaBeouf, Josh Brolin and Carey Mulligan to attract younger viewers while Michael Douglas‘ return as Gekko can’t help being a major lure.
“Can you win two Oscars playing the same role? An actor rarely gets the opportunity to revive a breakthrough role in a way that allows him to rethink the character in terms of changes time has wrought and to reflect on where fatal flaws once lay. Douglas does this brilliantly.”
Inneresting!
