Can someone tell me why people love this movie so much?

Garry and I just watched There Will Be Blood... I had high expectations because of how much people raved about it.  But I got a little bored and didn't really understand most of it.  The acting was great, sure, but what did it all mean?

You're not alone.
I enjoyed it. The character development was amazing, showing the eventual downfall of a man who couldn't be happy unless he was destroying somebody else's life.
Yes, literally destroying!
I haven't seen it yet. I was thinking of queing it up on NetFlix soon. Hmmm...
Who doesn't love f*cking milkshakes?! Classic!
i 100% agree with your opinion on this one. the character development was slow and not smooth. the movie should have been about 1hr shorter than it was.
glen liked it, but i lost interest about halfway through. and the soundtrack was just weird. it was all weird.
Agreed. hella weird soundtrack!
OMG- Steph! I totally warned you about that flick after Randy & I saw it! We love Daniel Day Lewis, but that movie was awful.... =)
It didn't mean anything. Horsemanure.
