Iker O gave it a10:
A masterpiece. A movie that epitomizes what cinematic art is all about. Brilliant narrative, acting, directing, cinematography and a legendary score. I can easily say this is one of the best films of all times.
Ryan gave it a9:
A true cinematic marvel - undoubtedly the best representative of it's genre, surpassing even that other heavyweight "The Searchers". Leone (with Morricone's phenomenal score) weaves a stunningy beautiful yet desperately sad tapestry of a west torn by civil war. The actions of our leading trio are ant-like in this scale, but this contrast drew me in, and the ruthless and brutality portrayted somehow gains reason. Exquisite piece of film - just watch with fresh eyes, and ignore pop culture's never-ending parody and reference to this Italian-made brilliance.
Jay H. gave it a5:
As long as I live, I will never understand the appeal of this cheap spaghetti western. It's overacted, way too melodramatic. Indeed it does have a great score, but otherwise is an unimpressive western. It's just a cheap Italian made garbage.
Rogerio R. gave it a10:
"Compelling story, memorable performances, breathtaking landscapes, and a haunting score". The good, the bad and the ugly is not only the definitive western, but also and unquestionably one of the greatest movies of all times! Maybe the most simple and perfect analogy of real life ever created!
Celia C. gave it a0:
A dead, dry, boring, dull, cheesy terrible movie.
Bob C gave it a10:
One of the best films of all time. Quentin Tarantino calls it the best directed movie of all time and i agree. Clint is a fantastic lead character, Leone is a great director, and the music by Morricone is superb.
Tom A. gave it a10:
Serio Leone's directing + Ennio Morricone's Music + Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and Eli Wallach in a climatic 3-way showdown = Win.
