Samantha simply doesn't have it, and it makes every scene she is in excruciating to watch. The other thing is this movie is extremely talky, and honestly if you haven't read the book I am not sure you would be able to follow what was going on. The movie is 2 hours long and at times it drags. Blah blah blah, talk talk talk. Works in the novel, but not in a movie. Show don't tell. I like the other casting choices although the jury will be out on D.
Sweeney as Galt. They don't show his face in Part 2, but honestly I have seen some of his recent appearances in movies and TV, and he looks about as tired and done-in as Samantha Mathis maybe this is what they are going for, a matched set? I will go see Part 3 if it gets made. I did notice a lot more people at the showing I went to than when I saw Part 1 literally watched the first movie with one other person in the entire theater.
So maybe this one will actually make money? I would like to see them re-cast Dagney although I know that's not likely to happen. Still if they could do it once Details Edit.

Despite the wholesale personnel changes in front of and behind the camera, Part II looks very much like its predecessor, perhaps because the one key crew member to carry over was cinematographer Ross Berryman.
But the melodrama remains second-tier cable in credibility and production values, with the new potentially lurid subplots involving secret romances, divorce, betrayals and sexual blackmail, coming off as hopelessly pallid. The Bottom Line Limp second installment in the proposed three-part adaptation of Ayn Rand's giant novel. Pointedly, the country is going down the tubes, to the point where Washington moves in to require those few successful big businesses that remain to submit to government control.
In the most politically pointed scene, the fiercely defiant Rearden is called before a judiciary panel empowered to enforce the government takeover of his giant business as well as imprison him, but he stands his ground with impressive resilience that rouses the spectators and wilts the judges. If made, will that one feature yet another cast?
Perhaps Todd Haynes would be interested. There is certainly room from improvement. As Dagny, the mismatch between Schilling and Mathis from the first to second part is particularly severe; Schilling is 28, tall and slim, whereas Mathis is 42 and more full-figure.
Anyone working for the state may as well twirl a black mustache; anyone against them can be fitted for angel wings. Criticism doesn't matter here since new viewers aren't expected to jump into the dense story now, and anyone coming back for seconds is predisposed to believing this is the most important movie of the year.
Sean Hannity or another right-wing mouthpiece told them so. The relevant question now isn't who John Galt is, but how much demand there will be for what the producers supply.
