Judge It For Yourself. I Thought It Was Good.

Rating: 7/10 (29 October 2016)

"The Revenant" is based on a true story of a fur trader who is left behind for dead by his fellow frontiersman after being attacked by a grizzly bear, a great plot to make a film from. I read some bad reviews of this film and I do not see why so many people are bashing it. I'm not saying this film is one of my all-time favorites but it is a good film. Some parts probably went kind of slow and monotonous but that still didn't take away from how good this film is. The acting was good and Leonardo DiCaprio did deserve an Oscar for his role in this film. The Cinematography was great! I did have to get use to the wide angle shots that were in this film but it didn't take me long to warm up to it. One good thing about this film was that the writers and director did not make this film mainly about Leonardo DiCaprio's character (Hugh Glass) getting revenge on his fellow frontiersman but made it mostly about Hugh Glass' (Leonardo DiCaprio) survival in the snowy woods after a bear attack. This is probably why so many people gave this film a bad review. Don't go into this film expecting Hugh Glass (Leonardo DiCaprio) to be a big macho man slaughtering everything in sight just to get revenge on his fellow frontiersman because that is not what it's really about. It's an intense film about him trying to survive.
