Perfectly executed until the end

Rating: 7/10 (7 June 2016)

What a movie. This is one of the best technically made movies that I've seen in quite some time. I really liked it...until the end. The first two hours of the movie were a masterpiece level experience, but in the final twenty minutes or so, it all comes undone and unravels. (I kind of had a feeling this was too good to be true throughout the first two hours, and that's not a bad thing as it reveals just how good I thought it was throughout). This is a movie that if it had a great ending, it might have been one of the best movies of all time, but it falls into mediocrity in the final twenty minutes. I wanted a summary in the end, a round up of the purpose of the greatness that had come before it, something new that had yet to have been revealed, but instead it felt like a reiteration of everything that was already shown, which was that Plainview was an a-hole. It was good, but due to the disappointing ending, can't say I'm a big fan overall, but the first two hours of the movie were truly spectacular and some of the better filmmaking I've seen in a while.
