    Don't know what else to call this. Part comedy, Oscar drama, eye candy (for the ladies)....

    The book was very good, so I'm excited.

    Ryan Gosling looks ridiculous with that wig, though, LOL

    Christian Bale's awesome when he's not cashing a check (i.e. fulfilling every single actor's fantasy of playing a comic book character).

    the housing crash happened because of the Federal Reserve and Fannie/Freddie, but that won't be mentioned in this film

    Or maybe because everyone was considering their own immediate short-term self interest, some to the point that they created a whole political philosophy about it and can't enjoy movie trailers five years later.

    2/4 rating. The acting was good and the pace of the movie was a little odd and slow at first but it picked up as the movie went along. However, I did not enjoy the constant panning away from the movie onto celebrities - really kind of ruined the movie for me.

    Extremely technical for a movie. If you like this topic, it's good. If you are there for entertainment, pass.

    saw a screening of it 2 weeks ago, absolutely loved it....

    the cameo explanation of bank terminology was genius

    for those who have watched already, watch the roundtable Hollywood Reporter did with the cast along with Mckay/Lewis, very informative and entertaining

    Agreed! It was a very strange take on the whole crisis, and could have easily been acted within the movie.
