I think it is amazing that "There Will Be Blood" and "No Country for Old Men" are two of the most boring and repulsive movies I have seen this year or any year, and they are the two films that have gotten the best reviews from movie critics this year.

The pacing of "There Will Be Blood" is very slow. None of the characters are likable, so I could never get interested in what happened to them.

Daniel Day Lewis' character is similar to the one he played in "Gangs of New York," but that movie was more interesting because he was evil in contrast to the other characters. In this film, he has more in common with his rival and the film is mostly about how they are the same.

"There Will Be Blood" was a very hard movie to sit through. Things happen very slowly and when they do happen, they are unpleasant. If that sounds like the kind of movie you like, then you might agree with the critics on this one.
