there will be blood

[Viva Las Espuelas]

ok. i know there was a thread on this before. search is disabled and i don't feel like digging for it.
i saw it and it was ok. i thought the ending was the typical "indie" ending which is not really ending. daniel day's character was pretty hardcore. i guess the book is better? i'm ron burgandy? :lol
anyhow, this one and no country were kinda on the same tier for me. i liked both up until the last 20 minutes or so. maybe i just need to watch them again.

there will be blood was long and kinda boring

[Evan]

I liked it a lot.

The problem with movies for people that visit forums is that by the time most of us get to see it, it has been overhyped.

there will be blood was long and kinda boringi didn't feel like a long movie.

I know DDL is a great actor, and just a plain gorgeous man. But his character in Blood (like the one he was in Gangs of New York) was just so nasty and mean, that I pretty much hated both movies. But last weekend I finally got around to 3:10 to Yuma and is was the opposite; I never cared for Russell Crowe, but after that great movie, I'm going to re-watch his other movies.

No Country was better. DDL's acting was good and his character was well portrayed, but I really didn't care about any of the characters because the plot was meh. I get it, he's a dick.

3:10 to Yuma had the worst ending out of any movie I've seen in the past year.

It was definitely a let down compared to the rest of the movie.

There Will Be Blood was the best film of 2007.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

There Will Be Blood was the best film of 2007.i thought it was old country for old men, which left a similar taste in my mouth. if daniel day had killed more people throughout the movie you pretty much had the same affect as old country. i need to see the other films that were nominated and lost.

[Evan]

why was the ending bad?

[Xylus]

The ending was bizarre, but I thought it was satisfying.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

why was the ending bad?which one?

[Evan]

which one?

3:10

I loved everything about this film -- the score, the ending, the length, the pace, none of them bothered me. In fact, this was one of those rare films that I actually wished was longer.

Same with No Country for Old Men and Michael Clayton. Those three films were not only the best of last year, but possibly the best films I'd seen since Fargo. I was in full "wow" mode leaving the theater.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

3:10havent seen it

[JoeChalupa]

I don't know why I opened this thread when I have the DVD ready to watch tonight. But then again I like what I like and not everyone else likes what I like as I can tell by the different reviews already posted.
I'll give my review later. I didn't even make it through all of Gangs of New York so DDL isn't all that for me. I did like him in Last of the Mohicans. It did help though that the gorgeous and hot Madelline Stowe was in it.

So far I'm with you but I haven't seen There Will Be Blood.
No Country and Michael Clayton were excellent.

[MannyIsGod]

Clayton was great.

[mrsmaalox]

havent seen it

Well you need to get busy and see it; and remember you are supposed to see Soylent Green too. Oh and Ben Hur and the 10 Commandments! I hope you don't have anything else planned this weekend or you're going to fall behind!!!

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Gangs of New York so DDL isn't all that for me. that was a big dissapointment for me.

[JoeChalupa]

that was a big dissapointment for me.

Me too. :td

[mrsmaalox]

that was a big dissapointment for me.

Um that's "disappointment".......sheesh!

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Um that's "disappointment".......sheesh!ewe got me.

[G-Nob]

Norbit was better than all of them.

[monosylab1k]

I get it, he's a dick.
Actually, you didn't get it at all.

[MannyIsGod]

Actually, you didn't get it at all.Feel free to explain it.

[T Park]

I thought Michael Clayton was fantastic.

George Clooney is a pretty underrated actor IMO.

[JoeChalupa]

Okay, DDL is a very good actor indeed. I liked it. :tu :tu :tu

I concur.

[mexicanjunior]

I thought There Will Be Blood was much better than No Country For Old Men, mainly because NCFOM had one of the worst endings I have ever seen in a movie as hyped as it was. At least TWBB had a finale worth watching...

[Viva Las Espuelas]

I liked it. :tu :tu :tu

"i'm finished!" was a bad way to end, i thought. why did he do what he did at the end? simply because he was drunk? because he thought he was a fraud? were they really twins or were they one in the same. nothing was ever said in front of or by the parents of twins. i guess i have to read the book.

it's very very very loosely based on the book. really it's not hardly based on the book at all.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

[monosylab1k]

yeah i thought it would be funny, but it's just really gay.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

yeah i thought it would be funny, but it's just really gay.as if putting a pic of a maverick is any less gay.
