Do you think The Revenant is a masterpiece or a near-masterpiece?

To me, it is an unforgettable masterpiece.

A near masterpiece. It's among the best made movies I've seen in a while from a technical perspective.

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.

Neither.

Why didn´t you like it?

I think it's a near-masterpiece. I think the factual story was amazing enough to NOT embellish, but as far as the film itself goes, I think it was visually stunning and captivating. I'm very particular about which movies to (rarely) see in the cinema, and it surely didn't disappoint, so the BluRay was a must-buy. I've watched it a couple of times now and my original impression still holds.

Haven't seen it, but, read how a freezing water scene and his recovery was just too unrealistic. The author of that was credible, sorta hard to be a "masterpiece" with such discrepancies.

Great on a visceral level, but I think the alterations to the true story were unnecessary and dumb, and the anti-revenge message at the end is hypocritical and a total cop-out.
