A sprawling epic of family, faith, power and oil, THERE WILL BE BLOOD is set on the incendiary frontier of California’s turn-of-the-century petroleum boom. The story chronicles the life and times of one Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), who transforms himself from a down-and-out silver miner raising a son on his own into a self-made oil tycoon. When Plainview gets a mysterious tip-off that there’s a little town out West where an ocean of oil is oozing out of the ground, he heads with his son, H.W. (Dillon Freasier), to take their chances in dust-worn Little Boston. In this hardscrabble town, where the main excitement centers around the holy roller church of charismatic preacher Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), Plainview and H.W. make their lucky strike. But even as the well raises all of their fortunes, nothing will remain the same as conflicts escalate and every human value – love, hope, community, belief, ambition and even the bond between father and son – is imperiled by corruption, deception and the flow of oil.

Ruthless silver miner, turned oil prospector, Daniel Plainview, moves to oil-rich California. Using his son to project a trustworthy, family-man image, Plainview cons local landowners into selling him their valuable properties for a pittance. However, local preacher Eli Sunday suspects Plainview's motives and intentions, starting a slow-burning feud that threatens both their lives.

BoringThis was a very boring movie. It had no plot. Daniel Day-Lewis was a great actor in it but there was no point to the movie. I couldn't wait until it ended. I have no idea how it received such great reviews..Doug1231Score: 1/5

Holy hellThis is the only review I have written, and am doing so only because of how horrible this movie was. Just a long, monotonous, absolute piece of garbage. SO boring, and I don’t understand what the point of this movie was, the plot was all over the place and completely random. God awful movie, I want my money back. Actually worse than watching paint dry—no exaggeration..The king of tomatoesScore: 1/5

A great, great film!Daniel Day-Louis is absolutely the best actor of our day and he shines in this film. You can not miss this film. Astounding performances. Astounding directing, writing, all... You can watch film several times and turn your head every single time because, it's all so real you cant bare to see it. That's the best part of this film. How utterly real every scene is. Painfully real. I've always been a fan of Daniel Day-Louis but this film and Gangs of New York made me "fanatical" for his skill as an actor. Wow is all I can say... Ok, Im gonna go watch it again....Subvocal1Score: 5/5

A rant against Christianity sugarcoated as entertainmentThe plot is a greedy oil baron's growing insanity, pitted agains a corrupt, weak preacher. The movie went to great lengths to reveal the hymns, the worship services, the evangelistic activity and the message of the group (the blood of Jesus covers your sins) so as to clearly identify them.Typical of this genre of movies is the portrayal of a biblical preacher being nothing more then a cunning, money hungry man using religion as a cover to manipulate and deceive simple people. This was bad enough, but when the oil baron cheats, beats and eventually mercilessly slays the preacher in cold blood, without any repercussions...and we call that GREAT entertainment (giving it a 91% approval rating)? In the final scene the preacher is deceived into thinking he will get money if he says he is a corrupt man and religion is a farce…repeatedly screaming it at the camera…then is slain in cold blood...and we call that entertainment? The anti Christian bias was pathetic and palpable. Not that anyone should but it is hard to see them portraying a Muslim Iman in this way. Bashing Christians and portraying them as empty headed idiots is not entertainment and never will be. This was the WORST movie I have ever seen. Superb acting and slick cinematography cannot justify patronising this movie..Danny Boy 333Score: 1/5

Are you kidding meHorrible. One of the stupidest movies I have ever seen. Saw it in a theatre the day it came out. At the end we all agreed we would not recomend it to anyone. I hated it the most. Almost as bad as the show Community. You know, you kind of get angry watching it knowing that people actually like something so God awful. Gives me little faith in humanity that people think this is good..DerkaDerkaDerkaScore: 1/5

Outstanding MovieI have never seen so much hatred captivated on a screen. Daniel Day-Lewis portrays Mr. Plainview so well; he makes the character so contemptible you can't help but love him for it. This film is like a symphony, each actor/sound/song plays a different part to make a dark but beatiful picture of American greed. Paul Dano plays the prefect contrast to Day-Lewis's character. If you pass up this movie you are amking a huge mistake..HappyhubertScore: 5/5

POWERFUL FILM ABOUT GREEDDaniel Day-Lewis delivers another great performance. This time he plays a man who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. At times it is scary to see a man so consumed by money and power that you must pause and reflect. A great movie and a great watch..Person of Few WordsScore: 5/5

Best movie of the decadeThis movie stands taller than any movie matched up to it. The well deserved oscar did in fact go to the masterful Daniel Day-Lewis and his overbearing, authoritative, and magisterial performance that will be looked at in the future and be said by all people who truly perceive cinema "There will be blood is the best movie of the decade"..CameronReeseScore: 5/5

An American Masterpiece.Those who rated this film 1 star are the very same people who have never experienced a deep thought or culture in their lives ever. What is seen is the true metamorphosis of a man to a capitalist tyrant who is no longer human..BlackrainbmxScore: 5/5

This movie will stay with you forever!!This movie is amazing, horrifying, sickening and brilliant, all at the same time. Daniel Day Lewis is mesmerizing as this driven, narcissistic, sociopath who can not be redeemed. You are hooked right from the beginning. The movie is timeless, because these types of human beings exists today, yesterday, and tomorrow..Jax711Score: 5/5

Il y aura du sangCe film est très bon, les acteurs joue bien leurs rôle, et l'histoire est bien batit.Nino1Score: 4/5

Painfully slow and boringSimply cannot fathom how this film received such critical acclaim. Tremendous acting by Daniel Day-Lewis wasted on a complete snoozer..FormercarnyScore: 1/5

Excellent acting.This movie is about one greedy, selfish and money-driven person, back in the beginning of the XX century. We see his type of character since the first ten minutes of the movie - without any dialogues. The acting was perfect, even though Paul Dano (the support actor) didn't convince me much. He could have done it better. Five stars for Daniel, three for Paul. Total: four stars. Recommended, if you're not into a lot of action..BrewnoScore: 4/5

4 1/2 stars.This is a great film. I didn't have high expectations for this film, although it was well received it seemed a bit odd for my liking(and it was odd) but I loved every minute of it! The movie looks absolutely stunning, and the performances from DDL and Paul Dano are dark and deeply moving. The direction from Paul Thomas Anderson is spot on and he is able to convey this complex story with ease. I did have a slight problem with the film and that was the score. It was well-done I give it that, but it seemed like it was over-used and it really took away from the actions taking place. It was merely a distraction. Score aside this is a wonderful film..-ploox-Score: 5/5

No CGI required..."There Will Be Blood" is an old fashioned, no CGI required film that relies only on a great story and excellent acting..Karl.HungusScore: 5/5
