Fantastic for mature tweens^
A great movie about the life of a horrible man. If you are mature enough to be engaged by the film, you can see it.

A Good, Interesting Plot
This is a good movie to watch, but its length may bore you a tad. This movie is ridiculously rated higher than it should be, and could easily pass for a PG. The oil well catching on fire could be frightening, but not graphic. Recommended for kids 11 and up.

Amazing film. The ending is very intense and many kids would be bored by it. But some bright kids will definatley enjoy it, though some of it is very violent especially the ending so some look into it before taking your child would be wise. Films that has equal level of violence: Let the Right One In.

Don't waste your time!
This movie's violence was too much and it was very boring. I got up to go to the bathroom about 20 times trying to escape the theater. I would not see this again if someone paid ME to see it. Hated it.

Complex and confusing issues; disturbing images; teens
This movie focuses on complex and confusing religious themes that will be difficult for younger children to comprehend; also, the overall message will most likely be insulting to strong christian families and individuals. A lot of scenes in this movie contain horrifying graphic violence. In the end, we see a man's head smashed to pieces with a bowling pin. The insides are splattered all over. Other scenes contain other displays like this. Other than that, this movie has beautiful direction, well-seasoned performances, and a rich multilayer story. 5 stars.

The Bestest
This movie was absolutely amazing! It was very interesting and didn't seem as long as it was. I think it should've been Rated PG-13 but I guess the murder at the end was very intense.

There Will be Blood is brilliant!
Based on the Upton Sinclair novel Oil! this american film is surely to become a classic. The flawless Daniel Day Lewis gives his 2nd Oscar winning performance as Daniel Plainview. Unfortunetely the movie itself was beat out by best picture winner No Country for Old Men. This movie is hardly a rated R and it only carries a rating for some violence. I think anyone who loves great acting and great movies should rent this!

A classic for mature viewers... and that doesn't mean ADULTS ONLY...
Yes, I'm fourteen and I saw this movie. I knew the second it began that it was a great film, expertly shot and executed, with top-notch acting, a great script and SO much more. But as I watched I realized slowly that i wasn't really ENJOYING the movie, you know, like you would ENJOY "Raiders of the Lost Ark" or "Rush Hour". It marked the first time in my history that I have gone to the movies and found myself thinking about more interesting things while watching, as I would normally do while reading a textbook. It also struck me that this was on the border between PG-13 and R, if not for the final grisly murder, it could easily have been PG-13. But that's wrong. This movie is so adult in nature no kid should watch. I think that's why I didn't enjoy it- it was meant for adults. Sure, it was EXCELLENT- but its not much fun for a fourteen-year-old. I truly liked NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN better.

An awesome movie
This movie is okay for kids my age if they are mature enough to not laugh at some serious parts. The part where Eli "cures" the woman of arthritis would be funny if you didn't look at it maturely. I agree that this movie is one of the greatest. I gave it four stars because of the extremely unfitting music(it plays a symphony after **SPOILER**Daniel kills Eli**END SPOILER**) THe violence was a partial issue, expected amount of language(it is after all about an oil buisiness), no sex, the message: greed and money can do wonders to a person. In this movie money does NOT cause happiness. This movie is awesome, hands-down.

" I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE! I DRINK IT UP! "
It is a wonderful film about an oil tycoon who slowly turns into a monster. While it may be a film the not everyone will enjoy because of it's close attention to details, it was an amazing movie. There is constant drinking and smoking throughout the film, and there is some quite frightening death scenes, with a preacher's head being bashed in with a bowling pin. Cursing is not a major problem in the film and I rate " There Will Be Blood " ON for 17 and Up because of it's slowness and seriousness.

"Blood" has little literal blood...
There Will Be Blood is a spectacle to witness. You are constantly gripping your seat as you watch, glued to the dramatic, not violent, intensity on the screen. But you can read about the movie elsewhere: this review is about the movie's borderline R rating. My mom read a review from this website, where I believe the violence was overemphasized. There is little, brief violence, but definitely not for kids under the age of 12. The "some violence" description is put there because they could not describe the tremendous dramatic intensity Daniel Day-Lewis brings to the movie for almost each scene. It's deep, and many teens who enjoy the dumb spoof will hate this movie, or at least be bored by it. This is a thinking man's movie, and it's certainly not happy. It is a gripping film, and latches to your brain and won't let go for a lifetime. Think about your teen, and what kind of movies they love. If you find something like 2001 on their list, then this movie is fine. Remember to bring your brain, though!

THIS WON OSCARS?! WHAT?!
**note: this review contains spoilers** OK, you guys can say I'm "too young to understand the brillance of this film", or you can say "I should go back to watching Uwe Boll movies" (I hate Uwe Boll btw), because I don't care. I understand everything this movie was trying to say, and I understood every single word uttered from every character's mouth. The truth is...I think this movie was a piece of flaming dog feces. Not only did it unnecesarily drag on and On and ON, but the acting was way over-the-top (especially "Oscar-worthy" (?) Daniel Day-Lewis) and the script was really REALLY bad. Whoever thought up "My milkshake drinks your milkshake" must suffer some brain damage. And the ending...that was just icing on the horrible tasting cake. Daniel goes crazy and commits murder, and then suddenly realizes he's screwed. I guess Paul Thomas Anderson, the true "genius" that he is, couldn't think of a better ending, so he just cut to black and made up some phony story about how the ending was supposed to be thought-provoking. Go ahead guys, flame me all ya want, I just think that if this was the second best movie of the year, then 2007 was a really sad year for movies. Why can't the Academy EVER give the Best Picture Oscar to a movie truly worthy of it, like this year's Charlie Wilson's War, or the sorely unappreciated Walk the Line?

This is for you Stanley
For this review, instead of restating others opinions, Im countering 12 year old Stanley (I doubt he reads this). Dear Stanley, you are exactly what you think you are not. An immature child too young to understand anything that is deep and meaningful. The acting is some of the greatest of our time. Daniel Day Lewis is my idol. His performance made me cry. His character choices were subtle, believable, and he kept his limp throughout the movie. He made me feel anxious and if you think he was "over the top" you are an idiot. Kudos to the actor playing Eli as well. The writing was brilliant. The "I drink your milkshake" was a creative metaphor which you clearly couldn't grasp. The writing couldn't have been better. YOU are the one suffering brain damage for attempting to talk badly of something you know nothing about. Im sorry if the script wasnt cheesy enough and didnt contain the words 'doodie' throughout. Because that seems to be your view on perfect writing. Albeit I did find it a bit slow moving, the perfect acing made it all worthwhile. Daniel is up there with the acting gods of the likes of Marlin Brando and Julie Andrews. Stop watching these movies, Stanley, if your going to criticize it in areas it truly shows no signs of defect. The soundtrack was original and innovative. Go back to watching mindless hollywood flicks that all contain the same ideas and content (you know the kind, "guy gets girl, saves the world, learns a lesson") and shut up about this gem. THe story of a true villian.
