| Pros |
DDL, Anderson, dark and brooding |
| Cons |
Slow? Long? Personal preference. |
| Bottom Line |
A film set in the West where the oil is thicker than blood and stronger than creed; a journey of selfishness and greed to an unforgettable climax. Highly recommended. |

| Pros |
Day-Lewis scores the big one in a classic performance... |
| Cons |
May be too violent for some audiences... |
| Bottom Line |
Daniel Day-Lewis delivers a spellbinding performance as an uncompromising oil man and his obsessive drive for success... |

| Pros |
Interesting in some parts |
| Cons |
I got the symbolism, but still didn't like the movie |
| Bottom Line |
I got the message, but I didn't enjoy the delivery. |
| Pros |
Day-Lewis' deranged performance saves (and then some) what could have been an epic disaster. |
| Cons |
Quite long. Dark, violent, even upsetting in places. Unclear in purpose. |
| Bottom Line |
It's not a perfect film. It's not even a pleasant one. There Will Be Blood is, however, a film with brains, and that's a welcome relief these days. |

| Pros |
Total immersion in another era; Daniel Day-Lewis. |
| Cons |
Daniel Plainveiw is a monster. |
| Bottom Line |
Slowly building, this drama is dark and dangerous; Historical Noir. It is brilliant, but shines with a black light. |
