"There Will Be Blood" - RANT

So I watched it last night with the wife and we were both extremely disappointed. I can't understand why this film got so much praise. The Cinematography was great, but otherwise its probably the worst film I've seen in a while. A couple of things really urked me:

1. The score: The first half of the movie is crazy overpowering synthesizers creating constant tension even in calm scenes. The rest of the film is just sparse orchestration here and there?
2. The acting: Sure it was great, But every freakin scene was way over the top drama?
3. The Actual Story: So the whole film is just about the Protaganist's determination and paranoia? I know this isn't a first for a movie, but with all the suspense created by the over-the-top music and acting I expected some sort of sequence to unfold.......it never happened, just a tidy little depressing ending.

I usually don't care to comment about films on forums, but I just had to see if anyone else feels the same about this film. If so why do you think it was so popular?
