Wow, what an epic film.

I don't want to get into a prick waving dick fight over all the cinematic reasons I liked this film because I can't be bothered to type them all out again (I've been going off on the IMDB forums)

But I was so impressed by it, I felt like I was watching a new Kubrick film, to some that may come across as a reason to dismiss it as unoriginal but wau, was it great!

Has anyone else seen it, and if so what were your thoughts? Negative criticism is welcome - just remain intelligent.

Brilliant indeed, I particularly liked the score, fantastic. It has to be seen in a theater though, so dont wait for the dvd or other!

Its weird, its got no special effects and is essentially a drama/character study (psycodrama was one term used, which i fucking love) yet I really did appreciate it alot more in the cinema.

There are just some sequences and shots that look fantastic on such a scale, in particular a burning derrick by night.

Good movie, Daniel Day-Lewis has such a strong screen presence , i think i may have enjoyed it more in the cinema though... i prefer No Country For Old Men better... im looking forward to 3:10 To Yuma, may watch it tomorrow ..

"there will be blood" , I think people will either love or hate it , its not for everyone. i enjoyed it though.

I watched 3:10 To Yuma, great movie...i will have to watch it again to grasp a deeper understanding of the ending, if you know what i mean..? do you agree?

Saw in the cinema today. Honestly see it there. Some of the scenes are just epic.

Some simple folks like hnns will not like it but they should stick to watching Agent Cody Banks.

Been waiting to hear what's so great about that movie for a while now, but all I get is "oooh go watch Britney Spears loser". Guess it's has a target audience after all.

I really gotta see this one.

Haven't been to the movies in months :D

Others I have to check out are Sweeney Todd and The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford.

Good movie but not incredible imo. And the last scene went too far. Compared to The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, I liked the latter a lot more.

Was a great movie. Daniel Day Lewis steals every scene from every actor. May as well make a movie starring only Daniel Day Lewis and save the extra money from hiring other actors. The story is good, the script is good and sharp (some very good in-between-the-lines moments in there), the cinematography is top-notch. The only beef I have with the movie is that it's so strictly dramatic throughout and there's only a few sporadic moments of humor in there that it's almost too tense. Although the movie does a stunning job in telling its story with no frills, its important to include some comedic relief once in a while else you exhaust your audience (see Requiem For A Dream or House Of Sand And Fog for excessive drama and no comedic relief), Shakespeare would agree.

Overall, I'd give "There Will Be Blood" a 9 out of 10. Great movie experience.

There is a good quality rip available off mininova, the mvs one I believe. Make sure you grab the repack however.

I have the rip myself and can testify to its quality, your typical xvid screener.

i DL the one titled No.Country.For.Old.Men No Blur XVID , i dont recommend it as the quality was horrible. fxg , klaxxon , and DiAMOND are good rippers.. did u mean mvup?
