(FYI I really enjoyed it)

i think i disagree they both were great movies but i think no country for old men was just a awesome movie

I thought 'Blood would never end. Maybe it was just my mood but other than a good performance by Lewis, there was pretty much nothing I really liked about the film.

Ditto, the story really didn't pull me in and the ending didn't make sense. The movie was kind of meh. Most of the Oscar nominated films I've watched haven't been all that great, Atonement, Michael Clayton and this one were all kind of 'meh.'

I want to see this one just because of the clip they showed at the Oscars. Daniel Day-Lewis looks like he did an incredible acting job.

His acting was GREAT....... but really as far as just "story" I think it was great.....

a few parts, without dialog, kinda had me wonder...... people shot the shit back then like they do now.... so I don't see why some things would be left unsaid..... of course it was a different time.... who knows..

Great film though......

I didn't really think much of this movie. I felt it was well filmed and Daniel Day-Lewis is incredible as usual. However after watching I couldn't really decide what it was all about. There were several themes that it could have focused on but it didn't seem to really delve into any of them.

Maybe I missed the point?

-Pil

this is exactly how I felt so I don't think you missed the point. or at least I hope notr.

I'd say it's worth seeing and even owning for ddl but beyond that there is not much there.

i loved it.
crazy movie just like i like it.

its a little Full Metal JAcket with the dark feel
and a little Ravenous with the eerie soundtrack...

i am sad its not out on Blu-ray yet.

WAYYYYY better than 310 to Yuma which was all hype...
a good movie but not great.
i was a little creeped out by the green eyed love Crowe had
and the "coincidence" that his green-eyed sidekick broke the rules of
the gang to go help out Crowe

and sorry but i DID NOT like No Country For Old Men....
after building up these great characters...well you know what happens
in the last 30 minutes.
i know its about how random life is blah blah blah,
but to me it was building up all this tension for nothing.

I watched this last night... not impressed. Well acted, but not particularly interesting. I rented it of course, because usually award winning movies aren't worth much these days.

[ixlegitballinxl]

just watched it...dont know what to say about it......very weird movie....

[jw]

thats what I thought as well as cloverfield...just finished that

[Scripture]

'There Will Be Blood' was the best movie that I saw from 2007. Daniel Day-Lewis gave a performance for the ages, and I was completely captivated from beginning to end. This movie has a relentless intensity that is taken through a minimalist approach, and to me personally, it really works here. The cinematography, musical score, and minimal dialogue all add to the intrigue, that's why when Daniel Day-Lewis delivers some crisp and poignant lines, it resonated within me. You'll notice instances in the movie when some of these elements are absent, so when they do spring back into being, the movie becomes alive again and leaps off the screen.

I'll have to say that this film isn't for everyone, and that if you didn't like a movie such as 'Citizen Kane', chances are that you won't be fond of this one either. Plainview's (DDL character in the movie) enemies are man and God, and I imagine that also doesn't sit very well with some people. It can be quite disturbing in some of the instances of this film, and sometimes a provocative subject such as that can ultimately put people off.

This is the type of film that requires more than one viewing in my opinion, as there's so many dynamic elements taking place throughout the run time of this movie. The pictorial edge and historical sweep alone, make this a film of beauty - add to that a Daniel Day-Lewis performance for the ages, and you have a masterpiece. This movie is like a ticking time bomb, that when it reached the climax, it was like I had just ran in a marathon. The construction of the tension built throughout the movie by Paul Thomas Anderson is quite palpable, which is ironic, in the sense that it reminded me of drilled oil about to burst.

This is one of the best movies that I've seen in a long, long time. I disagree with many of the opinions here, but hey, if everyone agreed about the same things we'd live in a rather dull and dreary world.

There Will Be Blood!

[SquidPuppet]

Opening scene...awesome.
Performances were top notch. WAY at the TOP.
Visually good.
Story was just too shallow for me. Sorry....didnt make me care....even with as much as DDL put into it.

There Will Be Blood!

I agree. i was pissed that Atonement won best Score. It was the same twenty to thirty notes the entire damn movie!

[ixlegitballinxl]

put some more thought into...still can't decide if it was a good movie or not...so weird lol....the milkshake thing...was retarded....good acting though.... church of the 3rd revelation!

I really would like to see this on Blu.
I thought it was a better movie, than No Country for Old Men, which I also liked.

You know... I tossed it around a lot..... what did I like better, No Country, Or There Will Be Blood..... hmm... I can't decide.... I guess I like them both for different reasons, and it would depend on my mood.....

I need this on Blu Though......

You and me both my friend. Dying for this on Blu-ray.

[Beta Man]

I wish I didn't lend it to someone (even though it's from Netflix) I may even bite the bullet and buy it on Standard DVD until it comes out on Blu..... That scene where they hit oil, is pure audio bliss...... and it's just a great movie!
