    An improbable masterpiece -- a bizarre mixture of grandly operatic visuals, grim brutality and sordid violence that keeps wrenching you from one extreme to the other.

    Gorgeously stoic art film.

    A curious amalgam of the visually striking, the dramatically feeble and the offensively sadistic.

    Honestly if you were to ask me what's my personal favorite movie, I'd have to say "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly". While the film does have a few lighthearted or comedic moments it's by enlarge extremely serious and deals with war in an admirably restrained manner. Sergio captures the epicness and chaos of the old west but it doesn't choke itself to death on atmosphere. While I thought Leones own "Once upon a time in America" was his best work this comes in an extremely close second. It really does nothing wrong. One of the few films I could honestly call perfection… Expand

    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.… Expand
