Boring and lame but will get its Oscars

Rating: 6/10 (21 February 2016)

Spit, dirt and painful faces. That was a first sentiment of mine about this movie. It surely is gritty picture of settler, but after tenth time when Leonardi Di Caprio rescues himself from certain death everything starts to feel too unbelievable. I am certain that many of you disagree, but for me this movie is boring and predictable. There is a lot of beautiful scenery, maybe even too much to handle. You could easily cut this movie under two hours length instead of over two and half an hour length without any suffering for the storytelling. Maybe this is what they call an artistic of a movie what it needs to take notice in Oscars. Probably it will get more than ten nominees, but is it really worth it? I am quite definite that Leonardo will pick an Oscar of best leading actor, because there are enough of spit, pus and painful faces and if that is all it needs. At the beginning of a movie is very realistic Indian attack scene, almost a racist. Attack of a bear is also very well done and it gives a strong start for a movie. Unfortunately magic vanish quite quickly. Somehow you just start to wait the end scene. Everything that happens in between star and the end starts to feel just vain. The Revenant is well produced drama, but at the same time it is boring and predictable. It is very patriotic and I'm sure the old members of actors guild will love it so much that many Oscars are pretty undisputed. To me it was just too lame and boring.
