There Will Be Blood

After watching the movie There Will Be Blood last night on DVD, I was left with some immediate impressions.  Daniel Day Lewis was fantastic as Daniel Plainview, the plain speaking oil man with the singular vision.  His performance was magnificent and deserving of the Oscar victory.  Having said that, I found the movie overly ponderous, extremely methodical, and slow overall.

The movie is worth watching for Lewis’ performance alone, but be prepared by stocking up on patience.
