...and wow! What a great movie! To be honest, it's one of the few movies I've seen where I've wanted to watch it again immediately after seeing it. The ending was very unique and surprising, but yet very fitting and makes you think. I didn't even notice that there is no use of music in the movie at all until afterward!

What do you guys think about this movie?

I thought it was fantastic, particularly the first half. [spoiler] There Will Be Blood is better. [/spoiler]

I saw it a few months ago, and I really enjoyed it.

The ending was really unexpected, though.

Heh, I keep seeing the two films being compared. Why is that? In any case, that movie is next on my list for sure!

Ya I heard that a lot of people didn't like it because of the ending, some even boo'ing when it ended in theaters and such. As I said above though, I thought it was perfect for the movie. I was just curious as to what others thought here on GS.

There's constantly a debate on which film should have won Best Picture.

I thought it was a good film. I wasn't really all that crazy over it, but nonetheless it was a good film.

Well, when I first say it, I was pretty surprised and, tbh, a bit disappointed. But after some post-picture thought, I think it really worked for the movie.

It would end up in my top five, maybe in the fourth spot. I think you'll love it. Well, I don't know if "love" is the right word..

No Country For Old Men was a great film. But out of it, There Will Be Blood, and Michael Clayton, I liked Michael Clayton the best.

I didn't like it at all. It was poorly structured and was pointless as hell. The entire movie was just nothing leading to nothing. I understand what the Coen brothers were trying to achieve with the story, but in the end it was all pretty meaningless. How this won out over There Will Be Blood is a great mystery to me...
