The Revenant - Plot Summary:


While exploring uncharted wilderness in 1823, legendary frontiersman Hugh Glass sustains injuries from a brutal bear attack. When his hunting team leaves him for dead, Glass must utilize his survival skills to find a way back home while avoiding natives on their own hunt.

Grief-stricken and fueled by vengeance, Glass treks through the wintry terrain to track down John Fitzgerald, the former confidant who betrayed and abandoned him.


Dances with Wolves - Plot Summary:


Lt. John Dunbar is dubbed a hero after he accidentally leads Union troops to a victory during the Civil War. He requests a position on the western frontier, but finds it deserted. He soon finds out he is not alone, but meets a wolf he dubs "Two-socks" and a curious Sioux tribe.

Dunbar quickly makes friends with the tribe, and discovers a white woman who was raised by the Sioux tribe. He gradually earns the respect of these native people, and they learn from each other and befriend each other.







 
I just can't take Leo serious as a tough guy. It kills the movie for me.
He is such a whiny soft weakling in real life that I just can't immerse myself into him as f.e this tough guy in Gangs of New York or here Revenant. Happy for anyone who can.

Dance with the wolves has simple magical scenes .poetry in motion. Revenant imo is nothing special.
 
Dances .

Watched it several times over the years.

Didn't finish The Revenant
 
Dances with Wolves is infinitely more rewatchable.
 
Dances with Wolves and it's not particularly close. The Revenant is an extremely average movie.
 
Dances for sure.

Tom Hardy should have gotten more praise, he was the best part of the Revenant.
 
I haven’t seen dances, but having seen the revenant I’d easily assume dances is a better movie.
 
Dances for sure.

Tom Hardy should have gotten more praise, he was the best part of the Revenant.
The best part of the whole film (which i really liked) for me was when Fitzgerald gets his fingers cut off and he just goes " gawdaaamnit..."
