 Rating:  - TragedyThe central character in "There Will Be Blood", oil tycoon Daniel Plainview (played by thoroughbred thespian Daniel Day-Lewis) is a fascinatingly repugnant character. He's greedy, ruthless, cruel, and shamelessly manipulative, to be sure ... but it's really the touch of humanity he occasionally displays that truly makes him tragic, because you can see that beneath all his contempt is a sad, broken-hearted man.

However, at times I nearly had to turn off the sound because I found the music score was the worst I had ever heard. That would include ALL Ed Wood films and the music of The New World. Not sure what the music director was trying to accomplish, it did NOT work. Rating:  - Don't waste your time, seriouslyThis movie really never goes anywhere with the plot. I want my 3 hours back. Summary: A man who really doesn't like anyone pisses off everyone. The End.
