i agree that There Will Be Blood had me so bored in the cinema...after watching it a second time, it rocketed from one of my most bored movies to one of my favourites of all time, the character study of Daniel Plainview is fantastic, topped with the performance from Daniel Day Lewis...the amazing soundtrack, masterful cinematography...and the first time i saw it...i was unaware of how the plot would unfold (the brother turning out to be a phoney, the growing rivalry between Eli and Plainview)...knowing with hindsight what was going on, somehow made it all so much better...i think a lot of people were heavily mis-led by the title of the movie at first...whereas its just the best drama about an oil driller i could imagine...and its a film i couldent imagine anybody being interested in seeing as i dont care about the business of oil, the church or the people who run it, the fact that i do enjoy it just shows to myself at least how well executed it actually was
