Overrated

Rating: 4/10 (5 January 2009)

I didn't watch it in the movies, waited until it was on DVD because it had never really made me want to watch it. Despite of the originality of the movie, I still don't think it was the best 2008 movie. And I know Javier Bardem is a great actor and all, but in this movie you see him using only one face expression (which is not great at all) and still he won the best actor in a supporting role award. I think he deserved more for "Mar Adentro". The Coen brothers did great films but this one wasn't surely one of the best. The ending is also very poor and Tommy Lee Jones is what makes it worth watching the film. Looking at the other nominees for the 2008 Oscar edition, an impeccable Daniel Day Lewis makes "There will be blood" my favorite movie to win the statuette.
