    To the user below: I believe the Revenant in the title refers to the character Leo is playing, Hugh Glass, since he's left for dead and comes back to get revenge.

    Saw this movie twice, once with my hubby a stage actor. He isn't fond of gratuitous violence but felt it was not overdone and made it more real. We both could understand Leo's total acting not just words to enhance the reality of the times. Tom Hardy was also amazing. I think the film was "mostly done in Canada". Was the Revenant his wife or son??? Very thought provoking!!! Best fill in years from every aspect, direction, editing, acting but not a film for folks who want to be entertained rather than think

    Violent and brutal, probably the way it was back then. Scenery was beautiful and the actors were all believable. D

    The worst movie Leo has been in. Playing Cowboys and Indians, no real story line. Lots of blood and gore without being remotely believable. The scenery was spectacular, but that was the only saving grace. Otherwise, too long, too far fetched. Don't know how that bad guy was planning to get through the Rockies in the middle of winter to make it to Texas?.... Just one example. Also Bison really weren't in the Rockies, maybe they should have used goats instead. Save you money.

    Incredible. Beautiful cinematography, amazing acting (it takes a lot of skill to act with just motions and eyes), and great storyline. I admit it did seem like some parts were dragged on for too long, but the nature scenery definitely made up for it.

    There are some good scenes (like the bear attack), but otherwise, the film is very disjointed. Suddenly, there is a herd of buffalos; then, Leonardo has to cut his horse open to warm himself inside, etc. etc. And in regards to the scenery, it is clear that this was not all shot in the same location... Where do the ruins of the Spanish-style church come from? Anyone who knows the winter locations in Canada would know that there are no remnants of a Spanish-style, colonial churches. Etc. etc. The French trappers? In South America? The Western part of Canada? The film is totally lacking in any authenticity which I believe, is something it attempted to do.
