There Won't Be Blood

Rating: 1/10 (12 April 2008)

This film does not even deserve the 1 star it got...the only reason it got it was because IMDb does not offer no stars. If 1 star is "Awful" then 0 stars must mean it is downright a "Disgrace". For 2+ hours I watched this much anticipated film with only knowing that DDL won an Oscar for the performance of the year, Well if this is an indication of excellence in acting, then someone needs to revise the Method acting book and include a new chapter called "A sucker is born every minute". This film was absolutely pointless and like DDL's poor interpretation of a drunkard, I really needed, like him, a drink to try to put everything into sync. Too bad the liquor did not work for me. DDL's acting: Legend has it that DDL's acting techniques are legendary because he immerses himself into the role months before shooting begins and then takes months after shooting has stopped to get back to normal. Well I could swear if I closed my eyes and every time he opened his mouth to say something, I thought it was John Huston talking. Wow, this is great acting indeed, a ventriloquist interpreting John Huston....I will not go into details here like those folks that thought this movie was better than slice bread but I will say this, the movie was not a movie but really a bad dream and I'm glad I've awaken to find out it was only a bad dream....let's all hope there are no nightmares to come.
