To watch an acclaimed movie is to be critical of its cinematic treatment, doubtful of its purpose, and conscious of its mistakes. This movie shall undergo thorough scrutiny for it to win your approval. To watch The Revenant is the same. But with Leonardo DiCaprio’s outstanding performance guided by Alejandro Iñarritu’s brilliant direction, you tend to submit yourself and let loose your judgments. You just begin to enjoy the film and allow yourself to be entertained.

Legend creates a decent biopic and allows Tom Hardy to make the best out of the material. It is an artistic piece that is moving to watch.

Mad Max veers away from the mediocre offering of films these days. It serves as a reminder that movies are to be made with utmost artistry, that viewers demand the best, and that beyond seamless cinematography is the importance of story-line.
