[Western Cinema] Leonardo DiCaprio & Tom Hardy in Alejandro G. Iñárritu's 'The Revenant'

So...does that mean this will suck?

 

Hey, it worked great for "Apocalypse Now".

 

no more movies with snow in the setting????

 

Looked like a bunch of pretty clips. I still have no idea what the movie is about after that trailer.

 

That's the best kind of trailer! Too many trailers give away the whole plot nowadays.

 

Between the two wildly polarizing options then I guess you're right. But how about we just have a good trailer that at least makes me want to watch the movie.

 

Its a true story. So you can easily figure out what the movie is about. Heck the story is so crazy it seems like it was written for hollywood.

 

Look's like this generations "Jeremiah Johnson".

Hugh Glass....the subject of this movie...rode with Jim Bridger who is another legend of those days. In fact, he should have a prominent role in this movie if they follow history. He has many towns, roads, mountain ranges named after him near where I live.

Looking forward to this.

 

I question your taste in film If that trailer doesn't make you want to watch this movie...

 

Might be good. The clip did convince me that perhaps he could do a good job of directing Blood Meridian. I'm still not positive that a good movie version can be made of that, but this clip gave me a little hope that it's possible.

 

Why so? This is basically the trailer.

opening scene of mountain man looking at mountain
scene of man running through woods
scene of men on horse
scene of men in battle
scene of man shooting another out of tree
scene of men running to boat
scene of man walking through snow
more scenes of man on boat
scene of man camping
scene of man hugging
scene of man walking again
scene of men holding guns
scene of bear
scene of men licking snowflakes
scene of men chasing another on horse

lots of heavy breathing and drum beats

 

looks dumb and convoluted as fuhhhhhk.

i'll see anything with tom hardy tho. no shame.

 

Just saw the trailer. I'll bite. Tom Hardy is so hot right now, and I am generally a big fan of Leo.

 

Leo still chasing that Oscar if this movie pans out he may finally get his shot.

 

Don't know the truth of this, but if it is true, it just underscores how jacked the whole system is. diCaprio was all as good as Woltz in "Django" (although the latter actually had more of a lead role) and should have at least scored a nomination.

Then there's the whole "give the Oscar to the older actor when you can" bit. Samuel L. Jackson took it up the you-know-what when the bluehairs gave the Oscar to Martin Landau in a movie they probably didn't even watch, just because he (a) is older and therefore "overdue" and (b) played a famous actor.

"The Revenant" looks damned good. I think they moved the wide release from Christmas to January 8th (maybe to keep from competing with another period piece in Tarantino's "The H8ful Eight"?)

 

I can't agree that there is a "give the Oscar to the older actor when you can" bias.

Javier Bardem (No Country for Old Men) sure didn't deserve to win the Oscar over Hal Holbrook (Into the Wild), but he did.

 

So this leaked online.

I'd give it maybe a 6.5/10. The film sits at 2.5 hours, and that's quite a long time for this movie. The plot itself is mediocre, but the performances by Leo and Hardy were great. Camera work and cinematography were good, too, although I think there were too many 5-second landscape shots. The action shots are absolutely brutal in this movie. The best lines were delivered by Hardy at the end.

I think the length of the movie and relative slow pace of it will put off a lot of casual moviegoers.

 

Oh snap, screener season has started! Dvd and br rips everywhere.
