Really good film that triggers bipartisan idiots

dishonest

Not as good as the Big Short.

And you know they'd never make a movie in this vein called 'Hillary' even though they're both career politicians who are equally evil.

It’s a mess

No, the same people wouldn't fund the film because the market isn't there in the same way. On top of that, most hollywood 'artists' are left wing. It's not a conspiracy

It was alright, felt a bit disjointed tbd, I guess there wasn't a lot of interesting material to work with from when Rummy was exiled to when he returned.
I also think that portraying Bush jr as a complete dunce is a bit misleading and simplistic, but whatever it's about Cheney not Bush.
Trailer is still kino.

Had read that the Big Short had glossed over the basic fact people were buying homes they couldn't afford, treating it like they were being tricked into it, rather than that they were being deranged due to the widespread belief that homes wouldn't lose value.

Made it seem unlikely Vice would do much other than treat Bush as mildly retarded and Cheney and others as just evil.

The Big Short devotes a lot of time to doing literally exactly this. The scene that sticks out the most is the stripper scene where she explains that she bought a large home and all the other shit and then Carrell later explains to his friends (ie the audience) almost word for word what you wrote.
Whoever wrote that criticism was either an idiot or you've badly paraphrased what they wrote. One of The Big Short's bigger flaws was that it was so exposition heavy and really beat the audience over the head with things like that.
The Big Short doesn't blame any one person/industry for the crisis. They put most of the blame on the banks for lying about the worth of the bonds they were selling and resorting to very illegal means (that everyone knows but can't prove) in order to keep their risky investments seeming like strong investments. But the overriding point is that all the information was there. Any financier would have been able to check the housing bonds themselves to see that the banks were mislabelling them. And anyone with common sense would tell you that taking out a mortgage and buying a 5 bedroom house with a swimming pool on a strippers' budget was a stupid idea.

>liberals are your friend.
There is no situation where republicans weren't in the wrong in the bush era

Since there was the belief that homes could only go up in value it wasn't typically seen as that bad an idea since you could just try renting out a room or two if you wanted to help pay for the home loan. But also banks typically couldn't check about whether someone could afford the loan or not, was part of the 90's legislation to help people get into homes due to this belief about home values.

Nah they touched on that in the movie. The only people who didn't get any blame were people doing the typical American thing and buying homes outside of their means to impress friends and peers.
