October 1, 2009Ok, it?s like this. Daniel Day-Lewis is an amazing actor and carries this film all the way through. Paul Dano is also a really interesting actor who I look forward to seeing more of. PTA is a great writer. PTA is not such a great director. It?s like that. I did like the ending th...( read more)

July 31, 2009There Will Be Blood is my kind of film. The atmosphere, music, acting, imagery...it's all nearly perfect. Daniel Plainview may just be the most three dimensional character that I've ever had the pleasure to watch in a movie. Some of the elements are a little over-the-top, but at ...( read more)

November 4, 2009A perfect example of a film driven by the characters rather than the action.
Shows what a man must be willing to give up -family, friends, love - in order satiate his yearnings for power. The devestation wrought by such a man touches all.
A haunting, juggernaut of a film. ...( read more) -

October 30, 2009This was good but not as good as I heard it was.I kinda dozed off a little bit.Maybe it just wasnt my kinda movie

October 28, 2009Another cracking film from Daniel Day Lewis. He is breathtaking in this Oscar winning role, giving everything to the part. Dano is also superb and proves a worthy advisary to Day Lewis. The plot itself is slow and will frustrate some but the finale is worth the wait.

October 26, 2009I can't quite figure out why I love this movie so damn much - but I'm willing to bet it's Daniel Day-Lewis's amazing performance. At over two and a half hours long it managed to keep me gripped right up to the very end (which, by the way, is amazing). You don't see many films ma...( read more)

There Will Be Blood hits with hurricane force. Lovers of formula and sugarcoating will hate it. Screw them. In terms of excitement, imagination and rule-busting experimentation, it's a gusher. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Conjure up the maddest despot scene you can remember and you might get a sense of the seismic register of Day-Lewis's extravagant performance. Watch and marvel, though you may have to suspend your dis... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
A work of stunning intelligence and dramatic sweep, a portrait of a young nation struggling to find itself, torn between religious and business values. full review

Armond White, The New York Press
'No!' is the first word spoken in There Will Be Blood, and it should be the last said in response to Paul Thomas Anderson's latest pretend epic. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
There Will Be Blood strives for boldness, instead of just being bold. It doesn't cut, and it doesn't bleed. full review

Claudia Puig, USA Today
There Will Be Blood is a bold and sprawling epic about false prophets and massive profits set in a stark and dramatic oil-rich landscape. full review

A masterpiece from Paul Thomas Anderson. You won't be able to shake it off. Daniel Day Lewis delivers a chilling portrait of greed. He can be charming, cunning, terrifying and pathetic -- sometimes al... full review

May 5, 2008Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the most amazing actors of our time, simply amazing in this movie. The cinematography was breath-taking and the sceneries were gorgeous. I really felt like I was there. Not to mention I really enjoyed the music and plot twists! The only negative thing I can say was that it was about an hour too long. Other than that it was wonderful! :)
Plus, the ending was so so so perfect! I loved it -

March 24, 2008This was a well shot well acted movie that will hold you throughout but it could leave you wanting.
-
March 13, 2008Paul Dano should have got nominated for this at the Oscars. I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!

February 4, 2008MCT said he would have had made a better title. After seeing the whole movie, I firmly disagree. The title works both ways: The blood of the Lamb of God and the blood shed by Lewis in the film. It is ironic, too, because obviously Lewis' character does not believe, only is "saved" to benefit his own agenda. An excellent film and the kind of character study for anyone who wants to get into acting.

September 21, 2007I don't know Cody Franklin, but he sounds like a pretty smart guy and I agree with him 100%. On the other hand, he seems like a dusche.
