This is NOT a Comedy

Rating: 8/10 (18 February 2008)

This movie is listed as Genre: Action, Comedy. If this is a comedy, then "There Will Be Blood" should be listed as such. As with "...Blood", there are moments of humor in this film, but this material weighs in more as a serious drama with very dark moments. The performances in this drama were excellent. Had I gone into the theater expecting a drama, I would have enjoyed it more (if enjoyed is the word to use for a violent film). Instead, I felt ripped by the depth of serious issues portrayed. It is well done, but don't go expecting a comedy. It's a tragedy with a number of violent scenes - I can't imagine what the other commenters thought was so funny.
