One of the greatest achievements in cinema in my lifetime!

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2016)

If this movie is not a perfect 10, then I don't know what is. This movie was nothing short of a masterpiece! When I think of the greatest movies of all time, I think of pictures such as: The Godfather, The Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction, Goodfellas, Shindlers List, The Departed, There will be blood...For example. After seeing this film, I do not see any possible way that this picture is not in the top 10, or even top 5 greatest cinema masterpieces of all time!
The Revenant was a true testament to a mans will to survive and the power of revenge. There are so many good things I can say about this movie, but I will keep it short. There is no way that this film should have lost to Spotlight. Spotlight was a very good movie, not taking anything away from it, however, I think giving the Oscar to Spotlight was more of a "politically correct thing" to do for the Academy. Yes,, Spotlights subject matter was more close to home for the average person and yes, it is a remarkable story of breaking the lid off of the power of the catholic church, but there is NO WAY that if you want to watch a 2 and a half to 3 hour movie...that you would choose Spotlight over The Revenant. There is no comparison when it comes to entertainment!
Long story short, The Revenant, 10/10. One of the best films I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Must see and will go down as a classic throughout the generations to come!
