Movies Are Supposed To Be Enjoyable - There Is Nothing Enjoyable About The Revenant.

Rating: 3/10 (8 May 2019)

A heavy-handed attempt to win Academy Awards. Arrogantly long (in order to show off the acting, effects, and cinematography), blatantly manipulative in the portrayal of victimized Native Americans, blatantly manipulative with the whole 'bear mauling' incident, a redundant theme of prolonged struggle - you name the Oscar cliche, and this film hits them all.
At the end of the day, the best test of a film is "Do I enjoy watching this film?" No one enjoys watching 'The Revenant' . People may tell you they enjoyed it, because they wanted to enjoy it, and they have a need to stay consistent with their past selves. Those people are weak minded, and probably still listen to the same music they listened to in high school. Trust me - this movie is garbage to pacify critics.
