Could Have Been So Much Better

Rating: 5/10 (2 May 2019)

THE REVENANT is based on the incredible true story of one man alone in the wilderness and his fight for survival. But they went way over the top trying to make it good. They added a bunch of fictional elements that were not only unnecessary, but which actually made the movie worse.
If only they'd stuck to the original story I think this movie could have been much better. As it was, a lot of the stuff came across as very corny. The special effects and cartoon bear sort of ruined it for me. However, I will say that the cinematography was very good. There was some stuff that I had no idea how they did it. All the same though, they ruined a great story with this one. Do no recommend.
