Summary: Greed has never been better!
Review: Greed is good! We all agree but few are willing to say so. This movie manages to make greed a 'cool' thing. Perfect cast: Douglas is unbelievable. Great quotes. The only shortcomings: the end - typical Hollywood!Special mention should be made of Martin Sheen. Great performance. His character balanced Gekko's excesses well. This movie also showed Charlie Sheens potential as am actor which he sadly has not been able to repeat. Douglas' Oscar was truly deserving. And the directing was perfect. A superb movie that is relevant today - just look at the record performance of the Dow Jones. And the financiers today are even more wealthy: eg Soros.

Summary: One of all time great movies-
Review: This movie was, in every sense, a classic struggle between good and evil. Gordon Gekko's promises of riches and glory swept young Bud Fox from his feet and away from what was important to him- his relationship with his father. Michael Douglas is convincing as an Ivan Boesky type character, especially in the scene in which he explains to the stockholders, "Greed is Good". Charlie Sheen and father Martin Sheen's real life love for each other spills over on the screen during several touching father-son scenes. Fast-paced film.

Summary: Greed is Good
Review: "...If you're not inside, you are outside, O.K.? And I'm not talkin' about some four hundred thousand dollar a year working Wall Street stiff flying first class and being comfortable...I'm talking about liquid...rich enough to have your own jet...rich enough not to waste time...50, 100 million dollars buddy..a player....or nothing." -Gordon Gecko This movie is my favorite movie of all time. It features outstanding performances by Michael Douglas and Charlie Sheen, an excellent plot, and thought-provoking themes. And remember...400K will not buy you a beach house on Long Island!

Summary: Fast paced stocks for the few and the greedy
Review: Wall Street is a movie about high flying stocks and those who benefit the most from them. It's a slightly far-fetched movie involving imagination. Wall Street portrays Gordon Gecko, played by Michel Douglas as the all-out, Wall Street tycoon that is obsessed with greed and money. This movie is all about how someone who knows the system, gets to play the system. It's a fast paced stock market huge money deal movie that keeps you wondering what will happen next. Wall Street shows the classic example of the quick rise and fall from power. It shows how well the intense white-collar players in the stock market act in their own little world of organized crime. In this move it shows how stocks are a virtual world run by the few and the heartless. This movie portrays the few and the greedy and not much of how real life for the masses goes in the stock market Wall Street with its twisted plot and surprise climatic ending will keep you on the edge of your seat with suspense only money can make.

Summary: God-Awful
Review: Utterly, absolutely inept. No film ever made is as completely awful as this one. A laughable, by-the-numbers script, containing cliche after cliche, and silly atrocious dialogue that strains for cleverness and depth but sounds like misheard Ed Wood quotations. Bad performances from actors who don't know any better (Charlie Sheen, Michael Douglas). Sad performances from fine actors who seem to be rather embarassed about their participation in this trash (Martin Sheen, Hal Holbrook, Terence Stamp). Another lousy flick from Oliver Stone. Avoid it. Unless you want some nasty laughs at the expense of the poor people involved, a la Showgirls.

Summary: Sharp, fast-paced, entertaining
Review: Well worth watching, with good sharp dialogue and a crackling plot. Michael Douglas is well-cast as the amoral investment banker, and the two Sheens are convincing, too. In retrospect it seems to say more about what the 1980s were like than it does about the world of finance in general. Thank God, in the 1990s lunch is no longer for wimps.

Summary: Movie for the Modern Capitalistic Maverik!
Review: This movie is a classic! Anyone who has an entrepreneurial bone in their body must see this movie. It has a wealth of ideas and facts about how successful individuals on Wall Street succeeded before America started to censor their actions. While I do not condone the actions of the story, I applaud the fact that the characters found loopholes in the systems and capitalized on it. As the character Gordon Gecko stated, "Information is the most valuable commodity" and this is still true today. Don't miss this movie! And let us lobby for its release on DVD! I keep wearing out my copies of VHS!

Summary: Great Acting By Michael Douglas
Review: I'd give the movie 3 and a half stars as a whole, but Michael Douglas' intense performance as Gordon Gekko makes it a winner. Martin Sheen was also convincing as the blue-collar dad, but his son Charlie and Daryl Hannah failed to impress me. The story is intriguing and certainly educational with regard to life in the Stock market, but Douglas' Oscar-winning performance is by far the best thing about this movie.

Summary: My all time favorite movie!
Review: Porbably the most inspiring, interesting movie ever made. You actually feel like you are in the dark grey skies of New York, the imagery is perfect! They need to release this movie on DVD!

Summary: A FILM WHICH ENTRANCES THE TRULY SUCCESS DRIVEN!
Review: STUPENDOUS! DOUGLAS, SHEEN AND SURROUNDING PLAYERS ARE IMPECCABLE. DARRYL HANNAH WAS MIS-CASTED (ADMITTED BY THE CASTING DIRECTOR). WALL STREET WAS RELEASED CONTEMPORANEOUSLY (CURIOUSLY) WITH THE INSIDER TRADING SCANDALS OF THE LATE EIGHTIES INVOLVING DREXEL, KIDDER PEABODY, ET AL. WALL STREET'S "GREED IS GOOD" QUOTE IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO IVAN BOESKY. FOX'S MAIN AMBITION IS TO "BAG THE ELEPHANT"(GEKKO) AND THROUGH SHEER PERSISTANCE DOES VIA THE CONVEYANCE OF INSIDE INFORMATION ABOUT HIS FATHER'S EMPLOYER, BLUESTAR AIRLINES. GEKKO CHOOSES TO EXCERSIZE HIS OPTION WITH FOX AND FURNISHES FOX WITH A ONE MILLION DOLLAR CHECK. FOX HAS BAGGED THE ELEPHANT! WHAT ENSUES IS A FAST PACED ROLLAR COASTER RIDE OF HIGH FINANCE, WHITE COLLAR INDISCRETIONS, HIGH STATUS SOCIALIZING, AND A STREAM OF TECHNICAL JARGON AND TRANSACTIONS WHICH MESMERIZES THE VIEWER. THE MOST SUBTLY PROFOUND SCENE OF WALL STREET IS A TEN SECOND SCENE IN WHICH FOX STANDS ON THE BALCONY OF HIS MILLION DOLLAR CONDO AND IN A STATE OF SOLE-SEARCHING HUMILITY SAYS "WHO AM I" AS HE PEERS INTO THE SERENE EVENING SKY. HE HAS MADE IT BUT HIS CONSCIENTIOUS HAS CAUGHT UP TO HIM. "HOW MANY YACHTS CAN YOU WATER SKI BEHIND, HOW MUCH IS ENOUGH!" SAYS FOX TO GEKKO. IN THE END FOX AND GEKKO APPEAR TO BE HEADED FOR PRISON. JUSTICE HAS WON. BUT WITH OFF-SHORE BANK ACCOUNTS AND PROBABLE LENIENT SENTENCES, WHO HAS REALLY WON. WALL STREET ENCAPTURES THE DRIVE FOR SUCCESS, WEALTH, AND STATUS AS PERSONIFIED IN GEKKO AND FOX. IN SHORT, WALL STREET DEPICTS THE ELEMENTS AND DYNAMICS OF THOSE WHO WISH TO NEVER BE PART OF THE "SORRY MAJORITY", AS ONLY MONEY CAN DO. THE BOOK "DEN OF THIEVES" IS A STIKINGLY SIMILIAR WRITTEN DEPICTION OF THE GOING-ONS DURING THIS LUCRATIVE, INSIDER TRADED PERIOD OF TIME.
