Inarrituās never made an actual good movie.
But he has made handsome movies.
What Iāve read makes it seems like he pared the book way down to simplify stuff for the screen but then bloated it back up to make it a little more hollywood standard/relatable but also maybe hammer the themes harder in his dumb Inarritu way?!
But the trailers are full of striking images and its perfect shrugbait idk maybe it will turn out good.
Watching it on The Big Screen instead of the leaked screener anyway because whatās the point of this movie w/out clarity of those images?
Time to blow up the moon.
Iāve been a bit scared off by the reviews, but Iāll probably still see this because, yeah, it looks super nice.
It hasnāt been getting good reviews? Itās like 80-something on rotten tomatoes last time I checked.
Based on the trailer alone I know that there will be enough visual spectacle in the movie to be worth the price of admission. Whether the rest of it is actually like, a good movieā¦ to me is just icing on the cake I guess.
There need to be 100% more period pieces about being stranded in wilderness. If each and every movie that came out next year was about different person in old timey clothes getting attacked by animals and foraging for food I would be totally satisfied.
You say that now, but I wouldāve said that about protagonists using bows in videogames too and look where that got us.
I sure did see this.
Initial thoughts:
-most tolerable of all Inarittu movies
-this is probably in large part because thereās not whole lot of dialog
-it really is gorgeous!
-always value another opportunity for an unintelligible Tom Hard Accent
-my familiarity with the book itās loosely based on/the actual story the book was loosely based on makes me maybe a little too aware of the filmmakersā additions to the story
-almost all of those additions are lame and stupid and also dumb
-thereās a very good movie in between sub-malick dream/vision sequences and Inarritu et al trying to make a Serious Commentary on Race/Americaās Foundations
-inarritu would make a pretty strong genre filmmaker if he wasnāt a pretentious dunce who thinks heās above genre
-if theyāre going to end the movie like that, they should have Leo whisper āOscarā¦ā at the audience before it cuts to credits
-I need to to to sleep now OK
Woah
Yeah itās an Actual Good Movie for almost one and a half of its 37 hours!
!
I loved all 37 hours except for Tom Hardy saying āyou came all this way for revengeā etc
Like 1/3 of the ingredients of this movie are what youād need to start making a Blood Meridian movie.
I was so god darned excited about The Revenant! I saw the trailer all year seeing other movies and the way it just looks is so great. Emmanuel Lubezki has created such an impressive resume as a cinematographer. Inarritu is a really great craftsman, which is why itās interesting how he consistently fumbles with stories. I wonder if heāll ever get better about that. That would be cool.
finally saw this and it was incredible
yāall picky
Oh no I thought it was absolutely fantastic. A liiiiiittle too much talking I think, but really, when weighed against the cinematographic intensity of, well, the whole thing, how it just burns with stress and gives you a heart attack the whole time, who cares about a bit of leaden dialogue.
you fucking monsters
āHenceforth I shall love any movie that features the Traumatic Familydeath Flashback Tree from Vagrant Story.ā -Cuba ā@Father.Torqueā Libre, 2003
