Pointless butchering skilfully produced

Rating: 3/10 (26 February 2017)

Many reviews are written, many salutes the movie. No wonder: the photography, camera, costumes: hat down, really skillful job. Big names, lot of action, excellent overall atmosphere. There are some sensational scenes, for example the battle at the beginning of the movie, and the scene where DiCaprio is mauled by a grizzly. There is a lot of struggle, more than a decent amount of action and universal story about the revenge. Probably enough for many.
However, when you strip down the story, it would probably fit in less than 2 minutes to explain. Nothing much, really, adding that you would know the end at the beginning, if you are older than 4, of coarse. So what is else there? From the very beginning, and all the way to the really, really long way to the end, there is nothing much more than enormous quantity of rage, blood, cruelty, butchering, violence and some more violence. Even if we can say that this period (beginning of 19th century) was violent, someone might get a feeling that is watching the adventure outside this planet.
Finally, we have highly praised and skilfully produced three hours long pointless butchering. Excuse me, but for me this is not a cinematography. For this almost forgotten art, there should be even just a bit more.
