Don't be mad
We need separate threads for people who saw it and weren't blown away, cause nikkas be getting hostile.
That is a brutal ass movie.
It's quite an achievement and damned entertaining.....but it's so obviously TRYING to be an epic movie. I know, I know....most movies are trying to be great, but The Revenant's trying is just so damn apparent. You can feel the earnestness through the screen. Leo is acting sooooo hard it's uncomfortable at times. And EVERY SHOT is trying to be THAT SHOT. It's OK to set the camera down once in awhile and let shyt breathe. It's an obsessively gorgeous film though....maybe too much so.
Sidenote, had some clowns behind me literally snickering and giggling at the most violent and wild moments. When Leo cauterized his own neck, they laughed and joked like "why don't you try that sometime Josh hahah"
I hate people.

Shyt was so crazy i kinda laughed at some parts tho, like how far can this shyt go
Honestly if Leo dont win the oscar with this one its a wrap
Man how cold was it suppose to be in the movie ?
cuz Leo was in the damn water a lot....only time it looked like he was about to freeze to death was when he made a sleeping bag out of the dead horse....my hands and ears damn near frozen out here in Maryland with 3 layers on and dry ....if I was in those elements in the movie, I woulda froze to death in 24 hours if a speck of water touched me

Just saw it today in the theater and I kinda get where you're coming from, but this is nowhere near as bad as Birdman was in its pretentiousness (earnestness it definitely is not). But it also reminds me of how some people complained about the famous Dunkirk scene from Atonement, claiming it was showing off too much which is one of the most utterly nonsensical complaints I've ever seen people utter. Because a movie can earn the right to show off when it actually works.
Anyway, during the movie I came to the conclusion this movie is definitely suffering from the horrendous modern Hollywood logic of long movie = epic movie. The day that phase ends will be the day that saved cinema.
