    The Good, the Bad, the Weird is one of this year's best movie so far. It contains some hilarious shootouts and even though the plot itself isn't the best this movie has alot of good moments. If you're looking for a good action comedy that doesn't take itself to seriously, then this movie is highly recommended.

    This is the best movie of 2008. Can one Korean cowboy, a pastiche of Client Eastwood and eastern modesty, take on the whole Japanese army? Yes, he can. The extended chase and gunfight near the end is worth the price of admission alone and puts western action films to shame. Cool, funny, slick, and awesome, "The Good, the Bad, the Weird" is the surprise movie you have been waiting for.

    What a great movie! Best modern spaghetti western of the decade. I really enjoyed it. There were a few gaps of slow scenes, but I had a good time overall. Great actors, fantastic cinematography.

    This is the kind of action movie you've always wanted to see. A great cast, stunning soundtrack and imaginative action sequences. The movie is light-hearted, with the plot being both simple and complex simultaneously. It has a vibrant visual style that allows the movie to look more expensive than it actually was. Action scenes tend to last upwards of 10 minutes each but you never grow weary as they constantly bring something new to the table. The movie's biggest success is its almost childlike sense of adventure that absorbs you into a crazy world that you don't want to leave… Collapse

    The entertaining non-stop action has the potential to give the film wide cross-over appeal and cult status.

    A tangled narrative and damp-squib ending detract from an otherwise joyous Spaghetti Eastern.

    A jaunty, happy-go-lucky adventure that packs a fistful of dynamite in the spectacular showdown.
