Review of Vice (2018) by Brunovn00 — 01 Apr 2019
Out of all the Best Picture nominees at this year's Oscars, this is probably the weakest of all of them. This just screams "Oscar-bait". This movie failed to keep me invested in the story, I honestly felt it was a pretty boring movie, with the only redeeming factors being the stunning make-up and the top notch performances, Christian Bale just steals the show. But other than that this is a pretty lame movie, with boring directing and writing, flat cinematography and the movie hardly made me laugh, it made me chuckle like twice so I don't know how's this also considered a "comedy".
If feel that the story was also lacking, granted this is a biopic and it's based on true events, but maybe make Dick Cheney a more interesting character in this film, I don't know maybe more development and scenes where the audience gets to see how much power he had, or something that makes this movie interesting!
I think even Black Panther is a better contender for Best Picture than this unispiring, bland and forgettable oscar-bait movie.
