Let me just say NOBODY left the theater the entire movie. I won't spoil it for you but very intense and definitely ain't a Chick Flick. Leonardo stepped up his game. IMO it's Oscar worthy but so is The Martian. Can't go wrong with either.

The bear scene in that movie is incredible. Overall good movie, hope Leonardo gets the Oscar. He is an Oscar caliber actor and feel like he is finally going to win it with this one

Excellent flick. Intense and brutal. Hard to imagine those times in those conditions.

Apparently some Mod deleted my earlier reply which was a direct dialogue quote from the movie. If you've seen the film you know the scene I'm referring too when the young squaw makes a statement to Leonardo re cutting away a certain part of male genitalia of the Canadian who just raped her.

"I'll cut off your b...."
 
Movie looks good. There was a contest on the history channel of Badass Americans and Hugh Glass was in there with Teddy Roosevelt.

Addendum: Don't be late for this one... allot happens right out of the box in the first 5 - 10 minutes.

Saw it this evening. Should take away its share of Oscars... and yes, I was freezing the entire time I watched it.

13 hours is incredible. I read the book, and the movie is just as excellent. It is a travesty as to how our leaders did not respond in sending any help and then lying to try and cover up the whole thing. You won't move for 2.5 hours, and then you will want someone's head to roll.

Don't see how DiCaprio should win with so little dialog. He grunted, moaned, and crawled around. Decent movie though. Hardy was very good.
 
Really enjoyed the movie. Like everyone else said, it is raw, brutal, and really cold. Leo was very good without a lot of verbal dialog. Tom Hardy was also great, you'd barely know it was him. I'll throw in that I thought the cinematography was very Oscar worthy. It was beautifully shot.

The movie is Hollywood inspired based on a true story so AFTER you see the movie, I'd recommend you look up the true story of Hugh Glass if you're interested in what did and didn't happen in real life.

Hard for me to pay to see a movie with such a politically driven ass clown as Leonardo. He's already been caught lying about the bear scene.

The handling of Benghazi isn't hard to figure out, not sure why all these politicians are hesitant to just say it. The reason there was no rescue attempt is because that requires approval of the Commander in Chief. Obama was nowhere to be found, it's called 'off the grid'. He was off the grid for several hours, uncounted for, totally derelict in his duties as president. Once he surfaced, he didn't want to hear about it, he had the fund raiser in Vegas for which he left early on Air Force One. Couldn't let lives and the death of an Ambassador get in the way of partying in Vegas. It is a sorry, disgusting episode.

Tom Hardy gave a better performance than Leo imo

they didn't do a good enough job of making me feel attached to Leos character, i understood Hardys character a lot more

Thought flashbacks were a total waste of time too

Saw it this weekend. My wife missed most of the movie because she had her eyes covered. `Bear attack scene was brutal, but I imagine a bear attack would be brutal. That was one tough man to survive in those conditions and those injuries especially in the early 1800's when medicine was not much more than roots, animal fat, gun powder and a good drink of whiskey.

It's called good acting. He was able to convey emotions without having to say anything (mainly bc he couldn't). Think about the part with his son & hardy - that scene alone is what I would send to the Oscars. Hardy deserves best Supporting Actor as well. Both were excellent

Did not care for the movie, I read the book back in November before I even knew it was coming out. The movie is so off base from the book which is based on a true story. I know Hollywood has to do it all in 2-3 hours, but the movie was a big disappointment to me. They didn't even get the bear attack correct.

Most of the time, when you've "read the book", you will hate the movie. You have to

I think everybody involved in setting the environment from The Director to the photographers to the set designers did a great job on The Revenant.
The writing wasn't great IMO and the acting wasn't as good as in some other 2015 movies though.

I've seen all of the best picture candidates and from what I've seen these are some of My picks.
Best Picture - Spotlight.
Best Director - Spotlight.
Best Editing - Spotlight.
Best Actress - Brie Larson for Room.
Best Supporting Actress - Jennifer Jason Leigh for The Hateful Eight
Best Original Screenplay - The Hateful Eight.

The book wasn't exactly accurate either.
The Hugh Glass story was first written about 2 years after it happened. The story was published back east where at that time newspapers were printing the most outrageous exaggerations about events in the west. These ''stories'' went on for decades from Glass to Jesse James, all the way to the end of the 1800s.

It wasn't till the early 20th century that real historians tried to cobble together enough real evidence to print facts. Even today there is a wide range of myth and fact being published.
From what I can put together it seems most likely Glass was left when it seemed He was dying. He didn't even have a Son, let alone have Him murdered by FitzGerald. He was found by friendly Indians within a few days or weeks. The Indians treated Him and let Him heal, then guided Him down river to the fort, which was most likely under 100 miles away. He never took revenge, He most likely forgave Bridger and FitzGerald.

To Me the most remarkable member of Their party isn't even mentioned in The Movie, at least I didn't catch it if He was. Jedediah Smith had a remarkable life after the expedition, it even surpassed Jim Bridger's IMO.

A footnote. If You're ever in the area I strongly recommend The Museum Of The Mountain Man in Pinedale Wyoming. I stumbled onto it back in 1997 while traveling The Rockies from Arizona to Canada on a hiking/photography adventure. It has Bridger's gun and many other interesting artifacts.

Mad Max is terribly overrated. There is little in the way of plot. There are no interesting characters worth giving a damn about. All of the actors do a good job but there's just nothing there to care about. They're giving very little character development. It's basically one long ass explosive car chase. Who knew that's all it took to get so many Oscar noms. Fast and the Furious should get Oscar noms if that's all it takes. Besides, Mel was a far better Mad Max and some of his films were better in my opinion.

Technically, Mad Max was brilliant. That and the cinematography were great. That's about it though.

It was pretty forgetful to Me.
I was very surprised it got a nomination. Hardy will take any job that hides His vagina mouth.
