>Why would anyone convert Ayn Rand novels into movies? They're bland and shit.
The first Atlas Shrugged movie was alright, actually. More streamlined than the novel, and livelier. The characters even seemed like actual, living people.
The downside was that they took out what few memorable moments the novel had, or they made them extremely boring. D'Avenconi, or what his name was, destroying a copper mine by adopting socialist policies, and so on. In the movie, none of it was shown, we only had a blandly acted dialogue between him and Dagny.
