There were things I liked about it, like Javier Bardem's performance and that amazing scene in the motel when he finds the tracker in the bundle of money. That motel scene was really tense and creepy, but I wasn't grabbed by much else. It was a well made movie, but I thought There Will Be Blood was far better

There Will Be Blood is, for all intents and purposes, a character study. An amazing one, but still. It lacks much of a compelling plot. No Country was a better all around movie, even though DDL's performance in Blood was easily the year's best.

Scorsese getting best director and picture last year, and the Coens getting it this year? Is it just me, or are the Oscars seriously improving?
ImRonBurgundy?:
Well, you can only go upwards from the travesty that is Crash.
MusicScribbles:
I couldn't even listen to crash because the music was threatening to destroy my ears half of the time. Some people think There Will Be Blood had an earsplitting soundtrack. This one was louder than any of the noises in the film, including the acting at points.
Also, I personally liked Javier Bardem's performance better than Daniel Day Lewis's, but that's probably because I liked the film better in general. There is no doubt that Daniel Day Lewis deserved the award though, because he did pull off the best acting job last year.
