It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

This film contains some of the most beautiful cinematography you will ever see. It is a deep exploration into the nature of a human's will to survive, as well as the need for vengeance. Leonardo Dicaprio rightly won the oscar for best actor. The set, as well as the props & costumes are exemplary, & completely believable; in particular the portrayal of Fort Kiowa. Must Watch

You don't feel there is a story. It's sad, depressing, cruel, disgustingly bloody. I was mad all the movie.

It is evident from the beginning that The Revenant is a work of passion from everyone involved. Technically speaking, the directing, camera work and editing were some of the best I've ever seen and combined with beautiful settings and detailed costumes: visually, this film is absolutely stunning. The Revenant is an epic adventure told with minimal dialog and content. Every step of this film is purposed to drawing the audience along its path and it does so without the need for added fluff or exposition. It's a pretty heavy drama, so best to have some puddle stompers and a rain coat handy. This isn't your average light viewing.

Needs a "movie-literate" to really appreciate this work of art. The dialog is almost non-existent. The whole story is described in pictures; moviemaking at its best.
