I went and saw The Revenant the other day with my lovely lady. She wasn't a fan of all the blood and violence ("Barbaric" was the word she used). Of course I was all over it. I likely got excited, sad and angry at the appropriate parts and I thought it was an all-round great film.
I appreciated that they took out his ability to speak too much by using the bear to incapacitate him. This made the movie extremely intense, since Leo could only painfully whisper and use hand motions. It also made the movie that much more of a visual experience, with the only dialogue happening between Fitzgerald and Peachfuzz kid for the majority of the movie. Additionally, rendering Leo's character unable to effectively speak took a lot of strain off of him in the way of lines and needing to speak three languages throughout the movie (English, Pawnee and French)
Although I did have one small issue with something that happened at the very end
When Glass kicks the shit out of Fitzgerald and instead of killing him himself, he pushes him into the river to be judged by the onlooking Pawnee, there should have been a moment where the daughter of the chief leans over to him and says something to him. The camera would be too far away and we wouldn't know what she said, but it would be implied that it would be something to the effect of "Yo pops, the guy that is winning the fight over there? He's the one who saved my ass from those escargot eating pansies. If he's got a beef with that ginger sumbitch, it's probably a righteous cause." It would make more sense as to why they only kill and scalp Fitzgerald and leave Glass alone.
EDIT: I also saw Star Wars multiple times. My and others' thoughts on that movie can be found
here, discussion begins the first time you see an avatar with a blue face and red hair. There's a bit of derailing for a sec, but on the next page it picks up again the first time you see a David Tennant avatar.
