A brutal, bloody, and gripping saga of obsession, corruption, and poisonous greed; Paul Thomas Anderson's Award Winning There Will Be Blood is a masterly, unwavering inspection of a consummately evil man whose trailblazing spirit is equalled only by his murderous ambition.
In the dying years of the nineteenth century Daniel Plainview (Daniel Day-Lewis), a struggling silver miner, realises that true wealth lies in oil extraction. Driven by a passionate hatred for others and an intense psychological need to see competitors fail, he heads for the oil-rich land of California in a bid to manipulate and exploit the landowners of dust-worn Little Boston in to selling him their properties. Forefront of the town is self-styled `faith healer' Eli Sunday (Paul Dano) who is structuring his own sinister plan to funnel the residents' impending wealth into his self-founded church. As Plainview's empire expands, so does his obsession with the intrinsic value of power and he becomes increasingly irascible and paranoid along the way. What follows is a vindictive, ruthless, and violent chain of events as Plainview fails to deliver on promises as he pits himself against the town's perturbed and unstable charismatic teenage preacher.
In addition to stunning visuals and an exceptional, captivating score from accomplished composer (and Radiohead guitarist) Jonny Greenwood, director Paul Thomas Anderson (Magnolia) owes his best work to date to the incredible Academy Award winning performance as Plainview by Daniel Day-Lewis and the staggering portrayal of Eli Sunday by Paul Dano (Little Miss Sunshine). Bearing similarities to Citizen Kane and Giant, There Will Be Blood is an intelligent, thought-provoking, and powerfully-eccentric epic masterpiece that is as enchanting as it is timeless.

1st of all i have never seen a film like this.
Excellent acting by Day-Lewis as usual but this won't be everybody's cup of tea. Just becuase ive given it 4*, somebody else could just as easy give it 1*.
The story is easy to follow so you shouldn't have any problems on that account. Give this film a go i found it enjoyable!

Firstly, I disagree with any reviewer who deems this film "boring". Very true that it is of slow velocity in comparison to the majority of contemporary blockbusters, but is this necessarily a bad trait? On the contrary I found it refreshingly intelligent, and in an audacious attempt, reverts to good old traditional film making, of which minimal script and superb acting (which I might add, the screen presence exuded by Day-Lewis is second to none, and is comparable to Javier Bardem's chilling performance as Anton Chigurh in 'No Country For Old Men') carry the film. This, combined with alluring cinematography, tangible score, and Anderson's directorial prowess, yields one fine movie experience.
