There Will Be Blood An Overlong and Disappointing Movie

Rating: 4/10 (20 June 2009)

There Will Be Blood was an overlong and disappointing movie from director Paul Thomas Andreson who does an okay job with making this but a really slow pace it what weighed it down the most. Daniel Day Lewis does give a great performance in this but even his talent can save the film from being a disappointment. The rest of the cast including Paul Dano, Cirian Hinds, and Kevin J. Oconnor are okay as the supporting characters but they lack screen time and development because most of the focus is on Day Lewis. The movie does have an interesting premise but the slow pace at least to me is what hurt it the most. If Anderson had made it shorter and faster paced somehow it would've been better. I was disappointed with movie because I hear so many good things about this one but I ended up hating it. Overall There Will Blood does have a compelling story with a knock out performance by Daniel Day Lewis but after watching this movie I felt disappointed because it could have been a lot better.
