Awe....I meant Yawn

Rating: 3/10 (30 December 2016)

Never have I seen such a concoction of really awful scenes in one movie. I saw this painting, no film when it came out and thought it was terrible. So I waited a while and saw it again. Surprise: it was still awful. DiCaprio was given an Oscar for the best dialogue in a film...not, for the sheer survival skills that would make Bear Grylls jealous ...YES. Because surviving a bear attack. No not Grylls, is one thing, but being wounded as he was or ought to have been, he survived severe hypothermia, a 200 yard drop from a cliff, and vicious attacks from the camera. Because that many close-ups and not get wounded? He was the great undamaged victor. Was it all bad. Yes... only reason for the 3/10 is because of the stills, not all camera-work was bad. Not the photography of the beautiful landscape they raped...eh used to make this film. They simply should have watched "Man in the wilderness" a little bit better story-wise. Come one with those actors, the end result is utterly saddening. Maybe next time Leonardo, maybe....Hollywood gives you an Oscar for best actor in a role which deserves an Oscar.
