I read The Fountainhead every year or two because I just haveta have me some. Kind of surprised that they haven't remade it (1949 original) -- seems ripe for a new incarnation.
Devoured Atlas Shrugged once back in the day and dug it at the time. I know that Rand considered it her magnum opus; to me the themes just echoed all the fun in considerably shorter Fountainhead - reliance on reason, self-realization, refusal to compromise, etc.
I was surprised to see the trailer, I didn't even know it had been filmed and released. I need to get out more...
Actually Rand and her collective (including Greenspan) were anti- Federal Reserve. The idea of an appointed official controlling the money supply wasn't very free range banking. (I think there's a large irony-free zone in Greenspan's head.)
Rand herself wondered if Greenspan was essentially a social climber.

I heard it sucks.
I haven't read the source material, which I think I'd be inclined to do first. I'm sure Neal Peart is already in line though...

I heard the movie's at least as good as the film version of Bonfire of the Vanities.
Never read any Rand, but Greenspan's allegiance kind of freaks me out.

It's a mixed up, muddled up, shook up world.
