awful

Rating: 1/10 (11 January 2016)

I was utterly disappointed with this movie. I couldn't imagine Alejandro Inarritu making such a bad film. I had the impression he wanted to win another Oscar and tried way to hard to put everything in this movie what he thinks the academy wants. His movies seem to get more and more some kind of strange spiritual parts that i cant relate with.
All other movies he made are at least good (Birdman ...) and two are great (Babel and Amores Peros) but this one was plain bad in my opinion. Birdman wasn't the best film last year but it was cool in its strange way with some great dialogs and only few flaws. The Revenant is just one big flaw ... he tried so hard to make the movie look realistic but completely forgot to do the same with the screenplay. The story is very simple and artificial it reminded me of bad TV shows. I think the basis for the screenplay was "how do i get another Oscar" not "i have this great story to tell".
The overall acting is very good with Tom Hardy being great. However Leonardo DiCaprio had better performances (Revolutionary Road) but still plays at a high level like he always does. The movie is well made and well acted but the story is just a big fail IMHO ... so big i can't give any points for this one.
