    i saw this on saturday. daniel-day lewis was an absolute beast as usual. he should win best actor hands down. if you are a fan of his i would go see this in the theater as soon as you can. the cinematics and score to the movie are great. paul dano did an amazing job as the preacher and his son in the movie was great too.

    other than one particular scene (obvious for anyone that has seen the movie) i'm not really sure why it was rated R though. there had to be dozens of pg-13 action movies i saw in 2007 that had staggering body counts.

    i would have to pick no country for old men over there will be blood for my picture of the year though.

    I have started probably 5 threads in 3 months on this movie. No one has responded to one thread.

    Daniel Day Lewis will win the oscar for this. It is his best performance ever. The movie supposedly is being hailed as the citizen Kane of our day. And I havent even seen the movie!


    It's a good movie and Daniel Day Lewis is great as usual. If there is a OSCAR ceremony, he will win for sure!! AMAZING...

    yeah the movie was pretty incredible. someone said it came across a bit pretentious, and of course it did, its pta (or did we already forget about magnolia...hehe)
    wonderful job capturing the history and the business of oil and industry and life in developing cities.
    daniel day lewis is gonna be hard to beat come oscar time.

    I just saw a preview advertisement and thought I had to see this movie...though I wasn't aware it was limited release. Into the Wild was pretty available in my area so maybe this will be too.

    I have NO IDEA why this movie is getting as much acclaim as it is getting. I saw it, and it was the most boring, go-nowhere movie I have ever seen. I wanted to scream out "WILL THIS MOVIE GO SOMEWHERE!" while in the theater. Daniel Day lewis was great as usual, but good acting does not make a good plot/story.

    I kept waiting for something to happen, and nothing did! I have no idea why it was titled as such (I guess oil industry = blood) - it should have been called, "There will be Boring."

    Terrible movie, waste of $$, and like I said before, I have no damn clue why everyone loves it so much...

    i loved it. great flick and ddl is truly amazing in it. so was that kid from 'little miss sunshine.' the fact that he held his own with ddl indicates he's got a bright future ahead of him.

    ditto.

    Daniel Day Lewis was fantastic, the movie...not so much. At one point I turned to my friend and said "I can't tell if this movie is terrible or fantastic and I'm just missing something". She said "its terrible".
