| BBC Neil Smith Anderson's film is also timeless — a sweeping epic in the classic Hollywood tradition that invites comparison with Citizen Kane and Giant. As lofty as its themes are, though, There Will Be Blood finally works best as a thrilling vehicle for its star's fiery majesty and remarkable ability to disappear inside every role he takes on. | 15 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert There Will Be Blood is the kind of film that is easily called great. | 18 | |
| ReelViews James Berardinelli There Will Be Blood has the capacity to engage, if not enthrall. Unfortunately, the film's final third is poorly focused and, while there is a clear conclusion, it feels strangely hollow. | 15 | |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers The first time I saw this beautiful beast of a movie from director-writer Paul Thomas Anderson, I felt gut-punched. | 20 | |
| ScreenItStriking in a number of memorable ways and featuring a title that thematically works on various levels, There Will Be Blood exists in the sort of movie vein not often seen nowadays. | 16 | |
