There Will Be Blood

I thought it was a great movie until Anderson botched it completely with that last, ham-handed scene. That last scene didn't even feel like it belonged to the same movie. The tone was completely different and the jokey violence was like something out of a Tarantino movie. And to build all that up just to slam religion (literally)? Man, what a let down. Not as bad as the raining frogs in Magnolia, but close. I think Anderson would be better off if he quit trying to inject "big ideas" into his movies. Hard Eight, Boogie Nights, and Punch-Drunk Love were much more effective because they weren't bogged down with some profound statement Anderson was trying to make (the other problem being that Anderson's profound statements aren't all that profound).
