There Will Be Blood Audience Reviews

TinsHeadline Touches You
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
violinjoe Acting was great, cinematography was beautiful. But story was extremely lacking. Other than the corrupt preacher, we have have no backstory to any character and this have no explanation of any motivations. The tone of the movie was very odd to me-in particular regarding the music. Without the score by Johnny Greenwood, the movie could easily pass as a typical drama. The only reason any part of the movie seemed "scary" was due to the music. It solely gave an ominous feel, not the story.
ar-hopp How can this movie have such a high rating? There is no real plot. For 2,5 hours I waited for something to happen, but it never came. Don't watch it!
gregorywoodward There is no doubt Daniel Day-Lewis totally immersed himself in his character, and Paul Dano was a close second. I wasn't expecting Mary Poppins type levity, but I was disappointed in the two brutal, senseless murders, and surprised and saddened by the vitrolic outbursts unleashed upon unsuspecting, supposed loved ones by both characters. Words are very real things-they bless or they curse, and there are a hundred more effective ways to motivate people, than by deriding them with derogatory namesakes. Still, I had to see how this movie ended-and now I can't seem to get it out of my head.....
andrewroy-04316 For all of the build up and establishment of the world and characters, the final act delivered magnificently. The first half of the movie trudges along with Plainview a hard-working oil man with his beloved son, and seems like an unremarkable story of an oilman making ruthless and efficient business deals to get lots of oil. However, as the movie reaches its later stages, you begin to see the layers of Plainview's personality, and his true, single-minded desire for success and money at the expense of all others. Religion and Plainview's manipulation of Paul Dano's character was excellent, and I thought both the script and performances in the final two scenes with Dano and with Plainview's son were exceptional. A forceful, intense train that picks up speed throughout, There Will Be Blood is powerful and immersive in the world and mindset of Plainview.
