This is actually a pretty good review
At least in my opinion. I don't know if I agree with her assessment of the movie (since I haven't seen it) but this is one of her better reviews. I really got a sense of what she didn't like about the movie and she didn't resort to rehashing or spoiling the plot.
I think she watched the movie and really tried to figure out why she didn't like it. Sometimes, liking or disliking a movie ( or any work of art for that matter) can be an almost visceral reaction. Especially a movie by a director like Anderson; you know he has mad skillz, but that doesn't necessarily mean you like the finished product.
I think of the Zacharek haters need to chill out, though. I mean, come on defcahn1? I'm sure there isn't a universal consensus on There Will Be Blood. I bet there are other reviewers who don't like it.
