At least he's finally got an Oscar

Rating: 2/10 (19 March 2019)

If you had asked me a couple of years ago what, in my opinion, is the biggest ever travesty in the history of the Oscars I would have promptly replied it's Goodfellas not winning either the Best Picture or Best Director in 1991. Some of you might agree, some of you might disagree. Why is it relevant to this review though? Bear with me...
I could list various other Oscar travesties, though one of the biggest, at least until 2016, was that Leonardo DiCaprio had never won an Oscar. Regardless of what else you might think of this film, it is thanks to The Revenant that he does now have one.
Why did I just spend two paragraphs rabbiting on about the Oscars and not about The Revenant? Because I literally can't think of anything else nice to say about it. Sure, the scenery's great, the fact that only natural lighting was used is a fun fact to know at parties I suppose. None of that makes for a good film though, I found this boring as anything.
Let's remember what's important here though, at least DiCaprio now has his Oscar.
