It was interesting. I agree that Daniel Day-Lewis's role was good. However, it felt like this movie was intended to be 6 hours long and they played cut and paste with the script until they had 2 1/2 hours. Some of the scenes were great and then 5 minutes later a new character would appear and the story would change pace for a few. Then 17 year jump and we have a miserable old man Daniel Plainview with his disdain for people which we come to by him simply spelling it out. At the same time I can't blame the man I hated Eli from the first creepy Christan nutcase vibe. For some reason this movie just didn't feel like it tied together. The amount of people who want to sponge bathe Daniel Day-Lewis's balls is the only reason I can see all the awards being thrown at this movie.
