I thought Lewis's performance was great, but that the movie... i dunno, i just really did not enjoy watching a mean man be meaner and meaner for 3 hours. Maybe i was tainted by hearing that it was an oilman vs preacher movie, and had different expectations for it. Because there was no oilman vs preacher about it, it was just oilman owning preacher and everyone else again and again. Now, No Country for Old Men, that was a great movie imo.

I haven't seen No country for old men yet, I might do that soon though. Personally, if you want to enjoy There will be blood you have to look at the character of Daniel Plainview, that's what the movie is really about. God complex comes to mind.
