The second film in Leone's Dollar trilogy finds the Italian director in better form than in A Fistful of Dollars. For a Few Dollars More has better writing, superior production values, and more characters who aptly complement Eastwood's stoic Man with No Name.
While it doesn’t have the lunatic fervor of The Good, The Bad’s climatic cemetery shootout, For A Few Dollars more feels like its successor’s equal, which is about as great a compliment as I can bestow.

Just for the record I happen to love all three films. For a Few Dollard More is an amazing film though perhaps not as influential as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. There is one improvement over that film though, and that is the writing of Clint Eastwood's character, more developed and more compelling. A **** of Dollars is also great because of everything that makes TGTBATU and FAFDM so good, but I do consider the other two more influential on the genre and also Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, which used the film as its inspiration, to be the superior film. Back to A Few Dollars More, the stylised visuals are stunning to look at, the scenery is the very definition of epic and the cinematography sweeps. Ennio Morricone's score is both elegiac and operatic in tone and the story of greed and revenge that focuses mainly on the pursuit of bandit Indio draws you right in and never lets go. The dialogue is peppered with grit and dark humour, which is well-balanced with neither over-powering the other, while Leone's direction is superb. Clint Eastwood plays his more developed character with immense charisma, Lee Van Cleef is suitably vengeful and again Gian Maria Volonte snarls convincingly. Overall, a wonderful film. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Eu amei o primeiro filme da trilogia, e quando achei que não podia melhorar...
A obra conta com uma trilha sonora ainda mais marcante e impactante. Você arrepia, entra no clima, e o suspense chega ao nível máximo. Os personagens são ainda melhores, e o destaque dado ao Coronel funcionou muito bem. Junto com todo plot envolvendo o Índio e ele. Inclusive, plot esse que aumenta muito a proporção das coisas.
A fotografia está excelente, com uns planos que chegam a encher os olhos. Algumas cenas são memoráveis, como o encontro entre o Coronel e Monco - Não posso deixar de mencioná-la. A atuação de forma geral está muito boa, junto com os efeitos práticos utilizados. O enredo é muito chamativo e cheio de revira voltas que não deixam que a obra caia em monotonismo, fora o desenvolvimento de personagem que está ótimo.
Por fim, deixo aqui minha recomendação. Esse filme é essencial para quem é amante da sétima arte.

Leone's artful editing of close-ups to communicate the characters' spatial relationships is always a pleasure, and here he unveils his stylistic signature—extreme close-ups of the characters' eyes—as Van Cleef surveys the villain's wanted poster.
A hard-hitting western with upper-case values out of the busy Italo stable, this is a topnotch action entry.
Here is a gloriously greasy, sweaty, hairy, bloody and violent Western. It is delicious.
Not as stylish as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but a significant step forward from A Fistful of Dollars, with the usual terrific compositions, Morricone score, and taciturn performances, not to mention the ubiquitous flashback disease.
The fact that this film is constructed to endorse the exercise of murderers, to emphasize killer bravado and generate glee in frantic manifestations of death is, to my mind, a sharp indictment of it as so-called entertainment in this day.
The bit where Man With No Name (Clint Eastwood) is hat blasting Douglas Mortimer's hat away from him is honestly brilliant. Also, I bloody love everything in this movie, the plot, the characters, the dialogue, the gun fights, the composers theme which is used throughout this movie and Clint Eastwood being a bad ass throughout. Overall, it's an amazing Spaghetti Western movie with lots of action and lots of good moments throughout. I'd recommend for you to watch this after you've watched A **** Of Dollars, that's also really good but I prefer this one a little bit more but yeah, it's honestly worth the watch.

If the United States invented the western genre. Sergio Leone and Clint Eastwood turned it into a gourmet bite. The story of two bounty hunters on the trail of some outlaws is full of elements that make those who like the genre fall in love at first sight. Popcorn in hand, please.

To consider this one of the rare sequels that improves upon their predecessors would be an understatement. With a taut screenplay, tight editing, impressive camera work, Superb cinematography with beautifully framed shots, Morricone's atmospheric and slow-burning score, a nuanced direction and an unmatched chemistry between Clint Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, one of the most intimidating villains in a Western, I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said that For a Few Dollars More is about on par with Leone's masterpiece The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The latter is still my favourite of his, but I really think For a Few Dollars More has a more daring, challenging and unpredictable script! The complaint I have is that the first act is a bit too cheesy unlike the rest of the film. Hence, there is kind of a jarring tonal shift between the first and the second act.
(9/10)
