    Utterly Mediocre.
    The Revenant is far too long; an instigating battle contains the majority of the action, with little else to entertain the viewer for the 2hr36m running time.
    Be /totally/ enthralled as Leo Caprisun grunts his way through a snowy forest for a while, and then falls off a cliff and doesn't die. A fall that kills a horse does not kill him. In a film where the entire gimmick is based upon verisimilitude, the protagonist obeys some sort of divine cartoon logic. Ironic isn't the half of it.
    There are worse movies. But the lack of plot, memorable characters and abundance of wide shots (we get it, you're in a forest, no need to cut to another establishing shot) make it difficult to recommend. Not worth the Oscar buzz. And certainly not the best directer film of last year.

    Very good film! Was a bit skeptical at first, but the movie surprised me.

    The important thing to understand about The Revenant is that this is mainly a technical achievement. The movie is beautifully shot, considering no kind of lighting was used other than natural light, and it takes no easy way out when it comes to the crafting. The actors are actually working in those conditions, that's what helps their performances be so legitimate and believable. Dicaprio was absolutely amazing, and deserved that Oscar.

    As for the story, it's a decent one. It's really nothing all that special, the characters are not that developed or identifiable, but it's still well told. I thought it could've been paced a little bit better, the movie dragged a bit in the second half. It's still very engaging all throughout, thanks to the craft and the performances.

    One of the best movies of 2015!

    I just saw this.
    I'd be confused about the Oscar nominations, but I guess if Gravity can win as much as it did, then this deserves something.
    This isn't your year, Leo.

      Editing … I actually thought The Revenant was one of the best films of the year, and thought DiCaprio and Hardy were both brilliant in it. My first pick for BP? No; that would be The Martian. But out of the 4/5 actors for BA I've seen (haven't been able to see Trumbo and won't until some later date after the awards), DiCaprio is certainly the most deserving (though Fassbender was also really memorable). A nuanced and impassioned performance that really seemed like it tested him. Out of BSU I'd give it to Hardy or Rylance, though I haven't seen Creed yet either, and only part of The Big Short (plan to remedy that tonight). Ruffalo's performance was decent, but for one reason or another I've never really cared for him.

      Editing … And Gravity was dreck. Well-made, shot, and acted dreck, (I think Cuarón's directing nod was reasonable) but still dreck.

      Editing … Man as much as I'd love to see that I'd think that him playing Bond would be a huge waste of his talent. Besides I'd rather see Idris Elba take up bond after Craig, dude seems just so perfect for the character. Really though you cannot go wrong with either.

    While I thought the Revenant was a good movie, my knowledge of the base character Hugh Glass and the plots discrepancies relating to it as well as numerous survival faux pas diminished my overall enjoyment of the film. The average movie goer will probably like it a lot. I also thought they lingered a bit too much at some parts and the emotional moments didn't strike a cord for me. So .. good, not great.

      Editing … It's the dead of winter and he's always cold but he keeps walking into water. One of the first rules of surviving in the cold is staying dry. He uses fresh wood from trees to build a fire. Fresh wood takes a hell of a lot work to keep burning. He's in a shelter during a whiteout snowstorm that doesn't appear to have any air holes and it gets completely covered with snow. Which would cause suffocation overnight. All things Hugh Glass frontiersman would've known among some other things.
