AR's books are an excellent spring board toward perceiving reality.
You think the two movies got it right?
I've only seen the first one, unfortunately most of the philosophical message didn't make it into the movie. It's decent entertainment if you've read the book though.
Just watched the second one yesterday. More of the message gets into there, and the court scene with Rearden is excellent.
Like Spendulus, I can't wait for the third one, but, I suspect, for different reasons.
