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.
Great movie if you like depravity, arrows through someone head, gratuitous killing and psychopathic behavior.
A snooze for the first 45mins. Di Caprio's character hardly says anything. The evil character, Fitzgerald, does his monologues in his annoying accent. Unfortunately, he has the most lines. At times, it was difficult to sit through the movie due to all the greed, cowardice, murder and savagery.
Stunning scenery Large inaccuracies Slow boring plot Stunning scenery
great movie:) took my daughter to see it and we both loved it:)
Went with my wife, I usually avoid"violent" films so was prepared but quickly got into the story, the depth of the acting and the direction and cinematography. This is a powerful movie and a must see even for the squeamish
Very disappointed!! So unrealistic and it just dragged on. You would think that they were in a teeny tiny forest by how easily....!! Nice scenery and good acting but just kept throwing my arms up in frustration. Needlessly brutal.
Ugh!! Very disappointed!! So incredibly unrealistic.. and way too long. Also, you would think it was a teeny tiny forest by how easily....!! Nice scenery and some good acting but I just kept throwing my arm up in frustration.
great movie
The first time I ever wanted to write the production company and ask for my money back. A painfully slow and unrealistic movie with meaningless content like the meteor falling to earth. Maybe the director thought it was artistic symbolism but it had was irrelevant. My wife is a fan of DiCaprio and even she hated it. The only positive was that DiCaprio didn't try shouting in rage which simply sounds like a little girl screaming. Save your money and read a good book instead.
