I've always appreciated Oliver Stone as a filmmaker. Wall Street (1987) never interested me as much as Platoon (1986), JFK (1991), or Nixon (1995). I feel like I'll have to really submerge myself in Stone's techniques to truly appreciate Wall Street 2. I plan to relive the greedy tale of Gordon Gekko before continuing this story, twenty-three years in the making.
I have one minor concern, in particular. Shia Lebeouf is a fantastic actor with a terrible résumé. It's sad when your best work is a television show you were in as a kid (ie. Even Stevens). The trailer lays on the one-liners pretty thick, so I fear this will be just another sequel to an undeserving movie. But I won't know until I see it. Until then, see for yourself.
