I enjoyed this movie. I found the plot to be very exciting and the 3 lead actors were excellent. I didn't think it was as cheesy as the previous reviewers (I also can't recall a ghost in the bathroom scene...when did that happen??), but I definitely thought they should have cut out the final scene, that was the only cheesy part I can remember.
I didn't see the original film but I did hear it was better. My only real beef with this film was all the jargon that they used at the beginning, I found it a bit difficult to follow.
This is probably most thrilling for those who watched the original Wall Street back in '87 because it's a continuation of that story. Corrupt Wall Street bankers wreak havoc in the markets and at home with a sprinkling of drama and a surprising amount of cheese. There were some moments that were so corny the audience was laughing out loud. I was surprised how much cheese made the final cut. The ghost in the bathroom incident was snort-worthy.
Aside from that, I actually enjoyed this because Michael Douglas is amazing and even though I hadn't seen the original, the story was compelling. Shia LaBeouf and Carey Mulligan were great together. I'm actually a bit in love with Shia LaBeouf now. Call me?
