Overrated

Rating: 1/10 (23 March 2008)

The first question I ask myself after watching a movie is did I care about any of the characters, the answer for there will be blood is NO. In 2 hours and 38 minutes, only the character of Daniel Plainview was developed, the rest looked like accessories at best. Daniel Day-Lewis give a strong performance as a sociopath and that is the only strong point in this film.
There is flaws in this movie and the major one is the development of interactions between Daniel and the rest of the cast, it is nonlinear, full of holes. Like the last scene with Daniel and his son, his son tell him in his words that he want to be far from him, but nothing in this 2 hours and 38 minutes movie give credibility to that scene and we simply don't care.
There will be blood don't deserve one star, but the overrated score need to be balanced.
