Liked better than I thought I would, but it's still just okay at best with some really great moments and some truly terrible ones

I saw this last night and while I liked it and it is visually beautiful, it does lack a few things.  But overall, I give it at least a B+.

With MLK, Globes and Oscars nominations, next weekend it won't fall below 30M 4day to reach around 90M.

 

With Oscars legs, I can't see anything below 140M at this point. I won't be surprised if it reaches 160M domestically.

Not surprised. The "giant screen" theaters around me are dropping Star Wars at last and will be play this over the weekend.

I am shocked they didn't put it in IMAX since last weekend.

Calling it despite the precursors: Tom Hardy will get a BSA Oscar nom for this role

He'll be this year's Jonah Hill (zero precursors), BSA nom

Haha I told you all! I was sure Hardy will get a nom!!

It wasn't anything Oscar worthy, but I thought it served its purpose

 

Except for the cinematography I don't think anything was Oscar worthy.   A truly beautiful film that showcased nature magnificently but everything else was OK in service of a hollow, over long movie with thinly drawn characters.

 

Spoiler

The changes in the story simplistically gave it a more audience ready hook (add one murdered son) and villain (cartoon venality) but cheapened the story and the journey and the ending just killed it.  Glass doesn't evolve from his journey and his pain he simply endures then kills.

So I haven't watched this yet (still holding myself) but from the looks of it I guess this has Actor and Cinematography near-locked? Or can Mad Max beat it in cinematography? And what about the other technical categories?

I think Leo and Cinematography are the only locks, the last one deservedly so - it' a spectacular looking film.   Costume, Hair & Make-up  and Production Design - Max should have a much better chance than Revenant if not the lead (Prod Design nom is a joke).  My guess is TFA is the favorite for the FVX and Sound awards (but I know zip about the Sound Awards)

So it wasn't that bad. A bit boring and totally pointless story, didn't care about any of the characters... however, this may be because I fell asleep for 20 minutes, ignoring the most important scenes in the film. So I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and not complain.

 

Cinematography was incredible; the depth of the images, the landscapes and the portrayals of calm natural spaces and flowers and skies. The fort and the ruins and the rivers, everything looked gorgeous. Really effective sound design too.

 

Gleeson and Poulter were on top form as usual. Wasn't engaged by Ronnie Kray, and didn't find Leo's performance particularly effective, with some exceptional moments. Brownie points for trying though.

Just came back from seeing this movie. Gotta say it was a powerful movie, from the acting to the tension of survival in the wilderness. My only gripe was that it felt too long which was a result of the story not moving forward soon enough IMO. I also thought that Hardy was given more to do in this movie from an acting standpoint than Leo and if anyone deserves to be nominated for an Oscar it's him. I just got the feeling that Leo got nominated so the Academy can finally give him his oscar after all these years of being snubbed.

[shayhiri]

Finally saw it, magnificent (though I hoped for even more visually).

 

After this and Max I finally get why Hardy is so good. Hope he gets the Oscar. He was totally unrecognizable and convincing here. (And yesterday I saw Legend. Three! Tom Hardy roles in two days.)

Can someone explain to me where this whole bear rape joke came from? Not once does it look like the bear is raping him in the actual movie, so who the fuck started this childish internet meme?

if you saw Legend, technically its 4 Tom Hardy roles

 

Mind you, Hardy wasn't that good in Max, he was great in everything else this year though.
