"The Revenant" is brilliant. It is a bleak film about revenge, survival and the Human Spirit. It is pure Cinema and needs to be seen on the big screen to fully appreciate it. It is intense, thrilling and a very immersive experience. It fully justifies its length. Give Leo Dicaprio that damn Oscar. He was great and shows once again what a versatile Actor he is. Tom Hardy and Will Poulter deserve major credit as well. Hardy might have been doing anything one of his trademark "voices", but he was stellar as a wide eyed, unhinged, and aggressive villain. The much hyped Bear scene was terrifying and brutal. The fight scene at the end has to be the most gory and intense fight scene since "The Raid 2". I swear even Tarantino would have said this movie was too brutal at times. This movie made Bear Grylls look like a Poser. Everything was on point in this movie, from the acting to the directing and cinematography. Alejandro Inarritu deserves the Best Director Oscar again. The man's passion shines on screen. If this movie wins Best Picture I won't mind because I can't really fault it. It's definitely a Must See for both Men and Woman. 10/10
