Review of The Revenant (2015) by The A — 23 Jun 2016
This was a pretty damn long movie. And yet, somehow I made it all the way through on a Friday night, when I am normally so tired. I suppose that's a positive for it?
Unfortunately, at times, this just felt like torture porn for poor Leo. No wonder he won the award for this role. It had to suck. Even with stand-ins, if he uses them.
Sadly, it's another movie with pretty much zero female presence. I'm tired of all of these sausage fests.
The bear attack was crazy. Nightmare fuel, big time. I'm not really sure how they even filmed it, as it didn't look CG.
I like Tom Hardy in pretty much anything he does, and he was good here, but his character was a bit stereotypical. We all knew exactly how his arc was going to go.
Still, despite any negatives the movie was engaging, and a good drama.
