The old Gordon Gekko would have torn this movie apart with his gleaming teeth, while today?s Gekko seems content just to nibble on the edges.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
This is a pulp novelisation of the banking crisis and its pleas for relevance ring hollow.
There are times when iconic characters should be left alone to bask in the glory of a single appearance and, unfortunately, that's the case with Gordon Gekko.
Great to see Douglas back in the role that won him an Oscar. But even when he's offscreen, he's a bigger presence than LaBeouf.
Stone used to know in his gut that a sermon belongs in the pulpit, not the multiplex. No more.
