An Odyssey thats far too long and too serious

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2016)

This is a tough one, I get it. Yes I already got that after 80 Minutes. But then the movie continues to repeat "Hell, you've seen nothing yet", but it stalls on the same barbarian level where Decaprios body has to suffer ones more. Don't get me wrong, I can enjoy Zombi-Flicks and splatter movies and I love tough westerns, but the Revenant would have been better if it wouldn't take itself so f***ing serious an Mr. Inarritu would have cut this down to 115 minutes. Its just like the doctor said in "The Marathon man": This dent is dead, there is no need to torture it anymore, I have to drill a fresh one. The Revenant is trying too much to stay at 110 % pain until the end, so that I felt numb when it came to the final showdown. It has spectacular cinematography and a brilliant Tom Hardy, but less would have been so much more.
