There will be Yawns

Rating: 7/10 (1 February 2008)

Hello Moviegoers, Thankfully in There Will Be Blood, there is not that much blood, I'm not sure how much movie there is though either.
Okay the acting was incredible. Daniel Day Lewis, as always, is pitch perfect and IN-TENSE. Paul Dano was impressive and Ciaran Hinds was underemployed considering what a fine actor he is.
But the movie was, well ponderous and obvious. The music was portentious and overwrought and at times downright weirdly inappropriate.
Ya' know they set this up as some kind of epic story of greed in the robber baron era, but mostly the characters are just pathetic. And where were the women, no where in this movie.
Well like I said the acting was outstanding, Daniel Day Lewis tears up the screen, but there wasn't enough story to keep my interest and the only character you can care about, the boy, gets short shrift. There Will Be Blood is at the incomparable Palm Theatre  Rosebud, you wish.
