The Hollywood Reporter
That rare sequel that took its time -- 23 years -- so it not only advances a story but also has something new to say. - 80
Boxoffice Magazine
With the woes of Wall Street constantly in the headlines, Oliver Stone could not have picked a better time to reignite Wall Street. - 80
Variety
Has Gordon Gekko gone soft? The answer is, sort of -- a development that takes some of the bite out of Oliver Stone's shrewdly opportunistic, glibly entertaining sequel, which offers another surface-skimming peek inside the power corridors of global finance. - 75
Tampa Bay Times
Whatever his motivations or deeds, Gordon Gekko is a classic screen character and Douglas is never better than when playing him. - 63
Orlando Sentinel
It's almost kitschy - the way Stone injects himself into a couple of scenes, an eccentric Eli Wallach cameo, the inclusion of a Charlie Sheen moment that flat out winks at the audience. - 60
Time Out
A completely unnecessary sequel, plays a lot like "The Godfather, Part III"-lush, self-parodic and cut adrift from urgency. - 58
Entertainment Weekly
A lot of Money Never Sleeps - too much - is about Gekko père's desire to reconnect with his very angry daughter. - 50
Village Voice
"We're all mixed bags" is the conclusion of unwieldy mixed bag Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps.
