ClassyWas Excellent, smart action film.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

andrewfleming-57891 The Big Short cannot be dedined as a bad film. It is funny, interesting and in general a very good satire of the high life in America. The film also boasts a massive cast, all of whom do well, in particular Steve Carell and Christain Bale.However, the film tries to do too much for a single film. There are too many characters, organisations and terms to keep up with and as a result the film becomes very confusing. The celebrity cameos work very well in explaining certain terms. Unfortunately there are only three of these in the entire film. Its also a classic case of style over substance. The film tries to give off a modern, cool feeling which does not apeal to all viewers. The final result feels more like a sketch show about a few flashy Americans with a plot so complex that it tends to alienate the viewers and failing to actually inform, which is what most viewers want from this film.

thomasjay-52277 Confusing? Absolutelty so but fantastically handled by the powers that be in smartly 'dumbing down' the many confusing concepts that are tackled head on. A well crafted film and impressive the story is also quite interesting to watch, with good characters and fantastic performances from an all star cast. Good watch

abhishek09 This movie felt like a blend of a film and documentary. It has a great narration by Ryan Gosling. Great acting too. The movie is made in such a way that the information reaches to all. All jargons explained and simplified in a very original way I must say - through 'real' celebrities in the movie - so that it is appealing to most of the viewers. It was very original in my opinion.Steve Carell is as always very good. And he is especially very good in his character. I loved his character and one could see him delivering the pain and emotions very sincerely towards the end of the movie. Christian Bale made me do a double take when his character came on screen. I mean, I know he has two fully functional eyes then how did he pull this off? How? It was incredible. This I think was an exceptional piece of acting. This is the definition of living the character in the movie. As far as direction is considered, it was very good. Not very unique because some elements I think is borrowed from Woody Allen where he makes the characters talk to us through the screen but the effect and timing is really nice. I have seen 'The Other Guys' by Adams and I found that entertaining too. More than the other I believe. And I found this movie thoroughly entertaining too.

Varant Tazian How is this movie not rated 10!!! This is the only movie that explains thoroughly what happened.. with great actors and humor.. It drives me crazy how many people lost their jobs, homes, savings. And someone got 47 billion dollars bonus
