terrific film, but I thought it could have been condensed. certain elements, such as the drawn-out tension-building scenes and the harsh facial close-ups seemed to be a little overdone, and thus started to appear cheesy after a while. nonetheless, it's still a brilliantly-shot film that commands your focus on subtlety. the phenomenal score is almost a character in itself as well. Fonda and Bronson give unusually-fitted but still awesome performances as the lead villain and hero, and Claudia Cardinale is a knock-out as always. rugged, intense, and epic in classic spaghetti western style.

A really well made movie, that I just felt was way too long. Some of the scenes are really well done, but a lot of them just seem to drag. I was expecting a more epic feeling movie than what I got based on the title and the runtime. Charles Bronson also doesn't have a mustache, which makes him a little less awesome. By the time everything comes to a close, you just wish that the happenings felt more important, and that everything was more than simple revenge.

MCT:June 23, 2008What a classic. Filled with style, music, guns, dangerous men and a beautiful woman. That harmonica music is really stunningly perfect, and the film is filled with great music. I wasn't expecting to love this film, but I really got lost in it, and at 2 hours and 45 minutes, there is plenty of time to get lost in the wonderful sets, costumes and locations. This is one of those films, like the original Star Wars, where the art direction transports you to another world.

Fucking brilliant! Saw this last night at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences theater with Joe. The version we viewed was a remastered print that made the 40-year-old film look incredibly crisp. Having not seen the film before, it was an experience alone to watch it, but to see it on a big screen was something else. The film itself is amazing. Bronson, Fonda and Robards (especially) are amazing in their roles as Harmonica, Frank and Cheyenne (respectively). It's a shame it's taken me this long to see a Leone picture, but it was worth it. Now I have to see the 'Man With No Name' trilogy which I've been told are just as good if not better in some instances.

The best Western ever and one of the most well made films ever. Worth it for the soundtrack alone.
If you are a fan of the craft of cinema this film is a must see, especially for the integration of sound and image. It works so well it seems supernatural.
