I'd say if you're going to watch a "wall street" movie, just watch 'The Wolf of Wall Street'. I'm not even a huge fan of that film either, but it's simply way more entertaining.
'Wall Street' may be a bit dated, but Stone does a fine job directing, and Douglas gives a monster performance, in more ways than one. But then that's pretty much it. I thought Sheen and every other character boring or were poorly acted. Most of the performances, other than Douglas felt very wooden and stiff.
There's no doubt that Gordon Gekko is the bad guy here. But he was right about a few things. Greed can sometimes be good, it won't benefit you to get emotional about money, and a painting can never match the sun rise (or set) over the ocean in person. That beach scene was my favourite.
