Starts good, middle is way too long and boring, ends reasonably well.

Rating: 6/10 (16 January 2016)

Well I watched The Revenant earlier and to be brutally honest it was boring as hell.
The opening and the ending were good, but the middle just dragged. I was bored for a good 2/3rds of the film and kept wanting it to get on with it and tell a story already. It is at least an hour too long.
Does Leonardo deserve an Oscar for this role? Most definitely not. It definitely wouldn't make my top 5 DiCaprio films, hell it struggles to make it into the top 10.
Doesn't deserve best movie either, in fact it doesn't even deserve a nomination.
It could win Oscar's for Cinematography, Makeup and Hairstyling and for Costume Design. Those were all outstanding. As was Tom Hardy he out acted Leo in every scene he had, so did Domhnall Gleeson to be honest.
I gave this a 6 on IMDb, purely for the cinematography and costume/makeup and supporting cast. Story was far too slow and you could have cast a log instead of DiCaprio.
