I am a loyal fan of Daniel Day-Lewis (Sir Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis). I don't always care for the movies he stars in but I do know that he gives 200% when he gives a performance. I saw the previews for this movie “There Will Be Blood” when it was released. But as is our custom, we waited until it found its way to the video rental store and then we checked it out. The previews looked so exciting so I was looking forward to watching it.
This film won 2 Oscars but ...
I HATED THIS MOVIE!!!
Whew! Thank goodness it was just a movie.
Relax. If you were pursuing the American dream … carry on!

I thought the movie wildly overrated and the director admitted ripping off The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.

The Treasure of the Sierra Madre? There was something oddly familiar about this film. You just pointed it out for me.

He gets into his character and we can feel their emotions come alive. This is an old movie but is worth watching again. His role probably was base on the ruthless oil men and robber barons like John Rockefeller who became America's captains of industries.

For sure he definitely got into character. I really didn't ever want his character in real life. He was scary!

It was a really good movie! People like him don't retire. They always just say they'll retire. Then somebody shows them an irresistible script and they're like: "OK! I'll come back and do this ... just this once!"
