i would say it is worth watching, but i just got the feeling that it was trying really hard to portray a certain mood when it was not necessary, do you know what i mean? instead of just telling the story and letting me appreciate it, it was just overly actory. i dont know. but definitely watch it. it has beautiful imagery, and for that alone i wish i saw it in the theater.
3 stars for me implies that it was ordinary - which i have to say There Will Be Blood is anything but. i think it's the best film of the decade. i was planning on seeing it again this week. i do love it so.
i am going by netflix ratings, so 3 stars is liked it. 4 would be really liked it and 5 would be loved it. i liked it, i thought it was unique and interesting, but i just feel like it was dragged on and on and on unnecessarily. not to mention the movie had no redeeming characters at all.
it's kinda like Citizen Kane - except a darker look at the american dream. i think that if there were sympathetic characters (besides maybe the son and his girl friend/wife), the impact of the story for me would be lessened. anyhow, not gonna try to change your opinion or anything. haha. just sharing my thoughts.
i'm so bad at moving watching. i really want to see there will be blood though. heard nothing but good things on that one. now i'm like boring and drawn out. maybe not.
it is 3 hours long, no joke. it could have easily been closer to 2 hours with a little bit of editing. i like long movies that you have to pay attention to, but it was excessive even for me. i dunno. i would say wait for the dvd.
i watched into the wild this weekend as well and felt the same. i really wanted to like it, but i lost interest about halfway through and was glad when it was finally over. i also agree about the shitty music; i wanted to like that too because, well, i grew up in the 90s, but no dice. tonight we're watching paris je t'aime on your recommendation! oui!
