    They should have 30 mins that bogged it down during the middle and it would've been great. It's just good.

    It was alright, not my cup of tea... or maybe I was just not in a good mood when I watched it. Leo has to win an oscar for this one right? Seems like he's been gunning for it forever now.

    He pissed off some folks in the old guard Hollywood. He should have been won an Oscar.

    The movie was really good imo. The cinematography was simply outstanding. Bear attack was gruesome. One problem I had was that the Natives searching for the girl felt like an afterthought. They maybe could have fleshed that out a bit more but the movie was already 2 1/2 hours. The last battle was great though. You felt like you were there. Great job by the director.

    Maybe the reason Leo hasn't won an oscar is because, 'Oh I don't know?' He's not that good of an actor?'

    He is playoff good but not quite a championshipworthy contender.

    He got lot of time, and he will probably get a Lifetime achievement Oscar.

    It leaked on the internet along with some other movies that haven't come out in theaters yet, like Hateful Eight, Joy, Legends and that Moby Dick movie too.

    Every year around this time is when screener season starts. Though Revenant has already released. I downloaded it but ended up seeing it at archlight in Hollywood yesterday.

    Any torrent site.

    Out of your mind.

    Leo was easily the MVP of The Departed (probably would have won that year, but was nominated for Blood Diamond for some reason), brilliant as Howard Hughes, and killed it in Catch Me if You Can, Django, and Gatsby. No way an actor could pull those roles off without range, nor could one steal scenes from DeNiro as a teenager without an abundance of natural talent.

    He's definitely gotten screwed in the past, and probably more than once.

    Don't forget Gilbert Grape!! Played that character really well.

    Though there is also a "sameness" to a lot of his characters and acting.
