Don't be fooled - "There Will Be Blood" is not nearly as badass as the title might suggest. And although he won a Critic's Choice Award for Best Actor, do not expect a Bill the Butcher peformance from "Gangs of New York" out of Daniel Day-Lewis. Maybe a sign of the time period in each movie, but DDL's character in "Gangs of NY" was a lot more knife-y than his character in "There Will Be Blood," who I would call more talk-y.The movie itself wasn't bad, a little slow, and a little demanding at 2:50 mins, but I really believe I would have liked it better if it had a different title.
So here are a few suggestions for a more appropriate title to the movie most popularly known as "There Will Be Blood":
- There Will Be Disappointment
- There Was Some Blood but Probably Could Have Been More
- There Will Be Jackasses in Your Office Who Overhype This Movie
- There Could Have Been Some Nudity (at least)
- There Will Be Time to go to the Bathroom and not Feel Like You Missed Anything
- There Will Be Deuschbags Who Text in the Middle of the Movie (I hate this so much)
- There Will Be a Period of Thought and Reflection and After Initial Disappointment, There Will Be Appreciation for Storyline and Character Development

I had to edit this because your post title was so fucking long:
I had never even heard about this movie - is it limited release or something?
Let me look at Fandango real quick to see what movie you should have gone to instead...
