Bale is my favorite actor, and I was looking forward to it, but his Cheney sadly sucked.

I thought that Bale's physical transformation, vocal intonations, and overall mannerisms proved remarkable and that he mimicked Cheney impressively. I give you kudos for engaging in a study of how Cheney actually spoke, and what you write about the former vice president's vocal pace seems correct. But in my view, that criticism would be somewhat more pertinent if Vice constituted a genuine character study filmed in a transparent style. Instead, since the movie is a collage and a satire, the broadness of Bale's performance—the resemblance, the intonation—proves more than sufficient. 

Personally, though, I would have given the Golden Globe to Robert Redford in The Old Man and the Gun or Viggo Mortensen in Green Book (among the nominees in that category). 

Would you say it's a fulfilling portrait of his life? Or does it focus on so many years. My issue with the "LBJ" movie is it basically just stops at a certain point with some text at the end. Felt incomplete.

I heard Johnson raped a secretary.
But he was loyal to his masters, just as Cheney was, which is why the media was much easier on them when in office.

I am not sure that Vice is conventionally or perfectly "fulfilling" because writer-director Adam McKay's style is so obviously satirical and polemical, but within that style, I believe that it offers a reasonable and appropriately ironic testament. The movie does not simply demonize Cheney—it finds the humanity of the man. By the same token, the film certainly suggests Cheney's willingness to embrace the potential inhumanity of politics and governance, to cataclysmic effect. 

I really liked LBJ; I viewed it three times in the theater in November 2017 and deemed the film "good/very good" on each occasion. Not attempting a full-fledged biopic made sense, as Johnson's life and career proved too sprawling and monumental (in both positive and negative ways). To instead seize upon that critical period in the immediate aftermath of Kennedy's assassination and use it as a way to pivot back to Johnson's vice presidency (and even earlier) and then ahead to his galvanizing of the nation following JFK's murder proved both elegant and effective. Woody Harrelson's performance was nuanced and much more intricate and profound than Gary Oldman's Oscar-winning stint as Winston Churchill in Darkest Hour, while Rob Reiner's direction proved deft.
