It was reasonably good, the problem is the first part was kind of an eye opener to the public. These days kids trade stocks in their phone while in the shitter. How do you impress that people? WS is now mainstream.

I thought Part 2 was a "good" movie, certainly better than 95% of the cr@p that is put out today.. but it wasn't as good as the Original 1987 Wall Street.

It's a 70s 80s mobile phone. Might as well be a telephone

@@afrosamuraiwarrior Just remember we had to have ENIAC before you could have your little smartphone. It's all related.

In a way it was funny, but at the same time, when Gordon was being released from prison, the last time he had seen daylight was January 31st, 1993 and the next day he went to prison, his world was still being what he saw up till that point in the early 90s from being the king of trading from the 80s and he was probably in the middle of doing business on that phone that goes "thud" on the table when he was released so literally just think about the fact that when he looks at that phone, it's literally the last past reminder of the world he was used to and the world that he was king of, whether it was right or wrong, it was a cultural shock when he's outside of the prison and no one is there to greet him, not his wife, not any of his friends, no one he helped make rich off his illegal activities, no one. He was totally and completely alone. U can't help but feel sorry for someone like that because remember this too, even though he had started in the Wall Street business in 1969, and he became who he was by the early 90s, he wasn't like that when he first started. And yes I know it's just a movie, and it's a fictional character, but it's based on a lot of true incidents that happened for years and I'm sure that's still going on in Wall Street. I just love the Gordon Gekko character because it's not all just one side of it.

A lot of it’s more complicated than it needs to be in order to make some people feel smart and to weed others out.

It's usually a combination of intelligence, savy and connections.

You are correct ....IQ abv 130 needed mostly to pass advanced designations to rise to meaningful levels

you must be smart in something else then

Insider trading is illegal. Its not sustainable and any wealth amassed would only be temporary. The guy is right.

It's a shame. It could've been so good. Even better than the first one if they focused on Gekko and his comeback instead of Shia LeBeouf.
