an honest review of there will be blood

let me break it down: it sucked. there were brief, interesting moments, but overall, the movie was a snooze.

look, i like movies, all types of movies. i like movies that build. i like drama. i like horror. i even enjoy romance movies. but this movie was just dull.

there will be blood. when?

the movie is supposed to be about an oilman and his struggle. well, when was the struggle? the movie lacked any real drama, had very little suspense to it, was fairly predictable.

don't go see it. i went on a free pass, so i don't feel cheated by the movie. i won't say the same thing for you if you do pay.

as for daniel day lewis' role that he just won a golden globe for, it was decent. but, it was also similar to his role in gangs of new york. the difference: that character, bill the butcher, was played with much more heart.
