Less of a movie and more of a cinematic feat, The Revenant is beautiful in aesthetics and execution. Sporting some of the finest cinematography and most intricate direction I have ever seen, Inarritu leads Hardy, DiCaprio, Gleeson and Poulter for some amazing performances, acting out a brutal and rugged script. It's rough yet beautiful, brutal yet haunting. The Revenant is one that will stick with you.

This is some amazing filmmaking! The direction is very realistic and well-done and some of the shots are just beyond beautiful. Filmed on location with nothing but natural lighting and freezing weather, with some good costume design and really good make-up and beautiful cinematography and fitting music, making this another rare masterpiece from Alejandro González Iñárritu. DiCaprio is as awesome as he always is and Hardy pulls off his role very well, as do Gleeson and Poulter. Very good!

My most anticipated movie of the year was a letdown. I'm contemplating suicide after watching this. It's just so bleak with never a moment where it lets up. The pacing is atrocious and the writing is mediocre at best. However, when you have Emmanuel Lubezki shooting your film, it's going to at least look amazing. Leo's performance is killer and without him this would be a complete waste, enjoy your Oscar buddy. This is in strong contention for the least rewatchable film of all time.

My dislike of DiCaprio has slowly dissipated over the years like toddler pee in the Caribbean Sea. Perhaps limiting him to one emotion per movie (here it's "scowl") relieves LD from the other myriad pressures that come with acting (like acting). Otherwise this is a beautifully shot film with lots of killing yet surprisingly very little Donner-partying, despite the harsh climes and lack of vittles. The CG bear will be considered great until the PS5 comes out and we all complain how PS4 it was.

A surprisingly decent offering from the insanely overhyped Iñárritu. The story is nothing special - a straightforward survival and revenge flick resorting to cliche at every key point, but thankfully there's little dialogue and the film manages to take effect as a period thriller, making lavish use of its huge budget. DiCaprio definitely knows his spiel, and there is lots of eye-candy staging, photography and highest-end makeup and post-production. In fact, it often feels too aestheticized.

Beautiful scenery. Far too damn long, seriously this is getting on my nerves everyone insisting on making 140+ mins films. Tom Hardy was unrecognisable again, I had no idea it was him until just writing this review. Unnecessary gore to be super-edgy, unnecessary dream sequences to pad time, unnecessary red Indian hokum to add I don't care what. Iñárritu continues to annoy me and it could have done with a bear rape scene or two

If I see another wide-angle, worm's eye view of a bunch of treetops, i'm gonna go straight up bear-crazy on everyone. People call this intense and raw, but I didn't find it anywhere as visceral as I had hoped. The aesthetic with great big vistas, symmetrical shots etc. is more National Geographic than survival horror and seems at odds with the plot. Following a riveting opening half hour the movie begins to drag and scenes that are redundant both narratively and aesthetically pile up.

It is a movie worthy of a high brow review with academic appraisals such as ‘exquisite artisanship', ‘otherworldly cinematography carrying a bare boned proto western' and ‘tour de force' strewn all around it, but this was me during the movie: Grizzly man!

Like GLADIATOR, this is, at its core, a simple revenge story. Unlike GLADIATOR, however, this one actually has a brain in its head. The stylistic flourishes enhance rather than detract from the material, the writing is strong, and the acting is stellar across the board. A riveting experience.

An immaculate cinematic experience; gorgeous forested landscapes and their well-worn inhabitants are captured in spectacular natural light and with as much gritty detail as breathtaking breadth. Swelling strings and impeccable action-camerawork add further flair. DiCaprio's committed turn drives forward a brutal and bloody survival/revenge plot that fits its severe setting like a glove with its stark visceral simplicity, while Hardy and co. offer strong support in their own secondary narrative.

A remarkable story of survival against incredible odds. The raw characters display the best & the worst in men and an extremely savage time. DiCaprio gives an exceptional performance throughout & his character was easy to get invested in. Tom Hardy was hard to understand. There were a few moments of brilliance but also a few long overly drawn out scenes. Some uneven pacing. The music & production quality is exceptional. Amazing CGI & SFX. Beautiful, violent & with flawless realism.

A feat of filmmaking, to be sure. Beautifully shot. It was heavy (and gory), but I didn't find it as deep or thought-provoking as Iñárritu's typical fare. DiCaprio was fine, but he was outshined by practically every other actor (Hardy, Gleeson, and Poulter were fantastic). Ultimately, it didn't meet my sky high expectations, but it is one for the (cinema) history books nonetheless

Revenge flick done up as Oscar bait. Yes, it's well made w/ beautiful cinematography & offers performances by some of our best actors, but what exactly do DiCaprio or Hardy bring to characters that could've just as well been played by Eastwood and Bronson in the 70's? There's a nice visual fortune cookie metaphor repeated throughout, but it must be Inarritu's uncoventional, self-reflexive last shot that has the kind of critic who reads profundity into ambiguity pushing this as best of the year.

Beautifully filmed and truly emersive deep dive into life in the frontier, that ultimately feels a bit underwhelming, because of the somewhat clinched and sketchy story. But if seeing a near dead DeCaprio slowly shoot, skin, disembowel, eat and literally crawl his way through most of the North American fauna on his way to vengeance is your thing, then look no further.

A brutal film. The gut-wrenching made it hard to watch at times. I have some nitpicks. The villain started off quite cliche. The biggest thing that took me out of it was how fast a character can recover from a broken ankle. Just give him a generic leg injury and then I might buy it. It also could've been trimmed a bit. And the look of the CGI animals was just a bit off. Outside of that, it was great, most notably the sound. That probably was the most impactful part of the film for me.

Your first and last impression of this movie will be that it's beautiful. The natural lighting, the spirit-like third party presence of the camera, the sublime depiction of nature; it's stunning. In its story of survival, revenge and trust, one can't help but think it's an ode to wild things; to grizzly bears, to wolves, to the landscape, to the animals among us, to the animal within us. Food for thought: we often take wild things for granted until "progress" and "society" does away with them.

Its primitive intensity sustains a largely wordless tale for two and a half hours, with only occasional signposts to demarcate its minimal nods to narrative. (If I had my way, it'd have even less dialogue.) It's as if Inarritu saw Lubezki's work on The New World, and decided it should be rawer, more vivid, more immediate. He taps into a certain physical primacy - I am, I do, I will - that seems both quaint and formidable, if not profound. A simple tale, told extremely well: all you need.

What a fucking waste of time.

A film I admire and appreciate more than I like. It's barely even a film at all, more of an exercise. The bare-bones story is insultingly simple and barely does anything for me, this one-note film can be a real slog to get through, though it does have moments of beauty, wonder, and visceral intensity. diCaprio does what he can to make his physical performance as rich as possible, and works well in the natural environments very rarely seen in other films. I'm glad I watched this, but only once.

Kind of disappointing. The first 45 minutes or so are exactly what I was hoping the movie would be, but then (much like Leonardo DiCaprio and his horse in the scene from the end of the trailers), it all just kind of falls off a cliff. It's possible my expectations were too high, but for me the second act really gets bogged down in dream sequences and clunky allegory, and makes the whole thing feel way too long. It is gorgeous, though, and with brilliant performances from the entire cast.

Another great collaboration by Iñárritu and Lubezki. Once again Lubezkis photography is impeccable. He is already one of the greats of his generation. The whole picture in its intensity is like nothing you've ever seen before. Plus DiCaprios "Tour de force" is so vivid, you immediately stop complaining about the cold outside or the little struggles you're dealing with. Never forget, you could get fucked by a bear, or fall from a cliff on a horse, or get shot, alone in the wilderness. #3800

visually what you've almost come to expect from iñárritu/lubezki, location scouting also needs to be commended. it's one of those movies where almost any frame would make for an awesome picture. sound and score are always spot on. the plot is nothing new, but the way it's acted out and the impact of some scenes can hardly be compared to anything in memory. and so the only lingering question is: what will dicaprio do next to get overlooked at the oscars? set himself on fire?

Unrelenting and near-unbearably grim, Inarritu's latest picture aspires to be little more than a masculine tale of revenge that is carried by dedicated performances and thoroughly brilliant cinematography by Lubzeki that brings every fight and flake of snow to life. The pacing slumps a bit in the final act, but 'The Revenant' is nonetheless a powerfully visceral experience.

Despite all the suffering and emotional turmoil depicted on screen we hardly get to know these characters, robbing said suffering of much emotional impact. Iñárritu can't seem to decide if he wants pseudo-realism or lyrical abstraction, and this further divides the events from the audience. It's grim and technically impressive, which seems to be all he wanted. And Lubezki, Leo and the others do a good job, but you feel every minute of the lengthy run time, and I couldn't accept that.

The Revenant is a cinematic masterpiece. Iñárritu's style, along with the genius input of Lubezki, breathes non-conformism and great Scott it's good. I felt completely sucked into the year 1823, thanks to the hyperrealistic cinematography, brilliant acting and the almost magical, pure natural surroundings. Yes, the story and screenplay are relatively straightforward, but that's also where TR its strength lies: its genius simplicity. Quality filmmaking, truly visceral. Also, grab that Oscar,Leo

An excruciating experience, for the most part. Much like a sick, bear mauled, barely surviving Glass being carried on a makeshift stretcher, I too felt dragged along for the ride, rather than genuinely compelled to watch. It definitely picks itself up later on, despite its subsequent and rapid decent into familiar revenge territory. Whether or not Leo wins an Oscar this year, I just hope they use the horse gutting scene as his nominee clip, because that shit was hilarious.

All obvious remarks about the ingenuity of the filmmaking aside, this movie did something that I loved seeing, and that's dig into the nature of conflict. The movie portrays conflict as a central and unavoidable characteristic of life on earth, and does this without ever coming off as pessimistic or nihilist (looking at you, Tarantino). The incredible eye for beauty, both in visuals and in humans, is what makes this movie so watchable and strangely inspiriting, as draining of a watch as it is.

A well-shot, beautiful film that, while lacking in a strong narrative, has a mystical/spiritual quality. Long, meditative shots of nature that detail the smallness of man in this great landscape. When these shots are placed next to the close-ups of Leo (or other characters), it makes their struggles seem small next to the expansive natural world and infinite spiritual world burgeoning at the seems. Uh, if you haven't guessed, I love this film.

Cold, dark, and brutish depiction of frontier life and its inhabitants which works like an anti-western. The nature and incredible landscape look almost alien and otherworldly. Hardy, Gleeson, and DiCaprio all hold their own although Hardy's hillbilly twang is hard to understand. Entire sequences of this seem like the director has watched lots of Terrence Malick and Tarkovsky which is not a critique. The only major flaw is the standard Hollywood type ending to this excellent film.

There is no doubt the talent involved here. Inarritu shoots this entire thing well, with expert cinematography and a moody soundtrack. DiCaprio gives a great performance but so does Hardy and everybody else. It's suffering pretty much from moment one, but it lacks a little bit of soul. It's 2 and a half hours and feels a bit long, and like kevinjoseph, it didn't have as much impact on me as it should have. It's hard to hate on anything from a technical standpoint. Respected more than liked.

The Revenant's opening scene hits you like an arrow in the throat and from that point on it is clear that no concessions will be made to the viewer and his feelings of basic safety, comfort, or whatever. The plot (man vs. man vs. nature) is very sparse and secondary to the cinematography which is breathtaking, brutal, ruthless, icy. I admire the actors for the simple fact that they survived the filming process; I presume that the pain on screen looks so real because it is actual pain.

As one of the more exhausting films, those who complained that Birdman had zero stakes are rewarded by a story with all the stakes. I can see why some are bothered by Iñárritu's wandering gaze, but, when shot by Lubezki, I can hardly care. The landscapes are immaculate, Hardy and Leo live up to the hype, and the lighting is more than impressive. It is work to get through, but I loved it.

Welcome to a world where nature is in constant dominance. You will be cold, lonely and scared in total alignment with a few, lost humans, fighting each other, albeit the real enemy is that of the wind, the trees, the snow and the cold. Never has sound mixing, mise-en-scene and production design collaborated so thoroughly in what seems to be a story telling itself, free from pedagogical voice-overs, true story-emblems and contextual history markers. In all aspects a completely overwhelming film.

This is a gussied up way of telling a story that is essentially about nothing. As a revenge picture, it isn't that compelling, as the backstory is muddled & the lead not that interesting. And it fails as a commentary on American frontier life as well. There's real skill in the artistry here. Yet I was continually reminded of both 12 Years a Slave & The New World. Those two expertly crafted films haunted me for days with their themes, vision, and characters. The Revenant? Not so much.

This is Inarritu aping Herzog, but with more aesthetic visual pleasure (oh Lubezki, you...) and far less narrative potency as a whole. Leo's loaded and overly hyped performance quickly becomes overshadowed by his far more nuanced co-stars (i.e. Hardy, Gleeson). As another user put it, the gore feels fetishized in a way that seems to overwhelm the film as a whole, and following his deserved win last year, the entire endeavor feels a bit like it's reaching for awards when contextualized.

DiCaprio's the ostensible protagonist--he's just trying to raise his half-breed son and make a living. Hardy is the ostensible antagonist--he kills DiCaprio's son and leaves Leo himself for dead. Nature's the real star of this flick, though--immense, intimidating, implacable, uncaring. Plot-wise, it's a basic revenge flick, but the unforgiving frontier setting kicks it up to a whole other level. It's awesome.

Very skilful but uninspired work. Although long & plodding this kinda works as a borderline exploitation survivalist revenge story but all the historical/metaphysical/ecological aspirations just feel pretentious & inapproppriate. The director doesn't seem to know what to do with all the amazing cinematography & the writing is just shallow and contrived. Leo convinces as an actor suffering for his art but not so much as a character. Hardy on the other hand is good but his character is also thin.

People tend to shit on what's on top, or popular. It's true of every form. If these movies cost no money, made no money and won no awards, bet your ass they would love them like their own son. This movie is simple. It's a revenge tale, lavishly plugged into some beautiful scenery. It's acting is not the best I have seen, but it definitely fits the story just fine. I don't know how one can take no pleasure in such a simple driving goal of revenge, especially when its presented so pleasingly.

These images, they're supposed to be transporting me, imparting a visual world, stunning, stark, harsh, huge... it's not working. And that's why I'm bummed.

Visually amazing. Beautiful camera work. Great sense of atmosphere and the slow pacing allows you to admire the beautiful nature. It truly excels in all those areas. A better screenplay would have made this film a masterpiece. Unfortunately the plot is very simple and the characters are one-dimensional or downright caricatures. That is a huge shame, as it means I probably won't be watching it again. Glad to have seen it once, though I can't help but wonder about what could have been...

A raw and haunting picture set in the ice cold, unforgiving wilderness. We're taken on an epic journey, experiencing Hugh Glass' relentless fight for survival and revenge, so physically demanding it reaches spiritual levels. DiCaprio mesmerizingly manages to push the narrative in silence only with his vulnerable physicality. A brutal experience that is as disturbing as the bear mauling, a remarkable sequence that leaves you unsettled for the rest of the movie.

An ambition worthy of Herzog or Malick. Its revenge story bones are fairly simple, but they are meated with such utter and visceral conviction. Wild, intensely physical, up close and personal. But for all this brute force primacy, it's also full of hushed and astonishingly beautiful reverence for the natural order. DiCaprio is good, Hardy is better, Lubezki is the star.

This is an exciting and well made film. Leonardo DiCaprio is great in the lead role and Tom Hardy is also very good in this film. The script is simplistic but very well executed by the cast and the director. I highly recommend this film.

Going to need to marinate on this one because, while I enjoyed it overall, The Revenant was missing something. The beautiful cinematography, and it's indeed pretty, doesn't complement the brutality of nature Inarritu's trying to create here, making most of the film tonally muddled.

Sure, it is beautifully shot film, and seeing snot coming out of those Hollywood stars' noses shows that Iñárritu wasn't making another shitty blockbuster. But survival/revenge movies must have strong characters you would care about and this crucial point is lacking here. Nice spectacle, but emotionally uninvolving. Oh, and for once DiCaprio was so... unDicaprio.

Very difficult to watch due to the camera work and the chosen visual style. Creates a sense of despair, impending doom and helplesness. Tom Hardy's character seemed more solid and believable than Di Caprio's; he completely lost himself in the role. The film was slightly longer than what would have been a perfect runtime, and the last 30 minutes were somewhat underwhelming. Still solid, but my least favourite Inarritu.

A story of raw revenge would be selling it short. It is that but it's draped in deeper thoughts having to do with indigenous/settler relations, religious iconography and the beauty/ brutality balance within nature. While, it is a miserable film there are certain moments that were so serene that you couldn't help but well up (is there a happier sequence in 2015 than them catching snowflakes on their tongues?)

A plodding and cynical tale of an actor who tries way too hard and a director obsessed with flowing water, branches, and stacks of buffalo skulls. Also one of the most pretentious cuts to credits I've seen in a awhile that left the audience at my screening momentarily perplexed before everyone shuffled out in silence. Fury Road this is not.

This action-packed revenge tale has all the beauty of a Terrence Mallick movie without the 'yawn' factor. If there were only more character development I may have given it a near perfect score.

A movie of a thousand wallpapers. The photography in this movie is unbelievable. Camera work is giving it a solid +10 points. The story is there, characters strong. One thing bothered me: symbolism. It's too obvious at times, it's a little bit blunt. Also, as you may see from the review, the pace gives you time to think, which in this case is not a bad thing because you can enjoy beautiful nature before blood start to spill again.

Masked behind gritty performances, gorgeous landscapes and existential themes is a surprisingly standard revenge narrative and disappointingly one-dimensional characters. As a hypermasculine action movie, it's pretty good; Iñárritu proves he can sustain suspense as well as anyone else. Beyond that, though, the film lacks the nuance that the acting and cinematography truly deserve.

The excellent lead performance from Leo and incredible cinematography loom over the rest of the film, but it's the compelling revenge drama that powers the film and makes those two highlights meaningful. The film is more mood than intellect, and sometimes overindulges, but it works.

Most directors will never have the back-to-back unique critical darlings Inarritu has just offered. The Revenant is a far more visceral, emotionally potent journey than Birdman, but it's even more beautiful. Again, such well orchestrated sequences it enchants the film nerd to the core. This is the kind of film that made me fall in love with the art in the first place; a film that doesn't just take its time, but earns the right to do so.

Absolutely gorgeous cinematography. Not DiCaprio's best performance, but he's good enough that if he wins best actor I won't mind (at this point in his career he's more than deserving). Tom Hardy also puts in a notable performance. The thing with this movie is that while there are a lot of really intense gripping scenes it also drags a lot due to a predictable thin plot with long stretches of little to no dialogue. So while overall a good movie the length of the film is hard to justify.

Iñárritu did an absolutely brilliant job with this one, and I thought it was better than Birdman. His direction, the camerawork & just the filmmaking in general was seriously impressive. They did so well at capturing such a brutal environment and time in American history. It's very beautiful aesthetically; the natural light gives it a great atmosphere and sense of reality. Credit must go to all the actors, too, who clearly put a lot into the film. It's a difficult but very rewarding watch.

A proverb by Confucious states, “Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves.” This is a proverb embodied by the perilous journey undertaken in Alejandro González Iñárritu's The Revenant, a powerful, gorgeous, sorrowful portrait of man against man, against nature, and against the elements. https://magnolia12883.wordpress.com/2015/12/21/reviews-the-revenant-2015/

It's a beautifully made film, which feels as long as each shot is deliberate. The tracking shots in this film, recreate the sense of panic and the unpredictableness, and the panning shots of the beautiful wilderness is quite spectacular. The story perhaps isn't as strong as it could be, but it's as brutal, intense and gory as you might expect the frontier to be.

So much symbolism that Inarritu literally beat a dead horse to the point of having no internal organs. How many times does Glass have to come out of metaphorical vaginas before the audience understands he's being reborn?
