Unintentionally funny stuff...

I guess it's just me but I really didn't find this movie to be all that great. It was not horrible and it could just be me who found it to be a bit much at certain times.

When Bud is being arrested...I found his cry face to be really bad and I found myself trying not to laugh. I don't really know if it was just poor acting on his part or if the whole thing just struck me the wrong way.

The other scene where I was just LOLing and thinking how hilarious it was (but not in a good way) was when the four or five people "swarm" Gekko's office to tell him off during the whole process of him getting effed over. WOW. That scene was ridiculous. I got the feeling that we were supposed to think they were totally badasses taking out the evil man but I just thought they looked like a bunch of buffoons trying to act tough.

The reason I think it is a masterpiece is because there was a lot of truth in it, especially those came out of Gordon Gekko.

They can only use the bad guys to say those things, that is why I think in a lot of movies bad guys sounded a lot smarter.

Anyway, not everyone will pay attention and even try to verify offline what he said.

Without understanding what he said this movie would lose a lot of meaning.
