The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.) (1966,  R)
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Il Buono, il Brutto, il Cattivo.)
"Hey Blondie", This is Simply one of the Greatest films ever made in the History of Film. Sergio Leone can die one of the proudest film makers of all time.

The Film is just perfect, every silence, every word, every scene, every shot fired was perfectly sufficient. Clint Eastwoods presense and confidence just blow every critic away. This is living evidence that Clint Eastwood is the pinical of screen confidence, the performances from each character keep you anxious for the next thing to happen.

Lee Van Cleef as The Bad was the perfect, he look sinister but very clever. One of the first orinal bad guys in screen history, leaving a template for great bad guys. Making him seem just as worthy for that money as the Good and the Ugly.

Eli Wallach couldn't have portrayed a sneaky scheming thief any better. Each of the characters were great and acted perfectly. Not only was the Acting perfect, but the Direction is the very key to this whole film.

He only used a tiny budeget, $1.5 million, compared to a (lets be honest) stupid $250 million for Transformers Revenge Of The Falen. As much as i love the whole Transformers cartoons and films, i can't but think "With that kind of money you have to be making something great", to only make a good blockbuster. That just being an example, there was no point were i was bored by this film. Not forgeting the amazing soundtrack, nobody hasn't heard that music in modern europe.

This is my favourite film ever made, but it definatly is one of the grreatest film Ever made.

Martin Scorsese one of the best of our time .with a greatly talented cast ,this is one of the best preformances or the best from Jack Nicholson , Leonardo DiCaprio , Mark Wahlberg and Matt Damon . THis is very factual to what my people were doing for a while lol but they did help build the country . Possibly the best gangster film ,up there with Goodfellas but then Goodfellas was all true ,while this was ingenuis ,Goodfellas was brilliant .but i love this film with a passion .

Definitely the best way Clint Eastwood could go out of acting. In my mind you don't like this film there is something wrong with you.

I think everyone who watched this was just waiting for the next thing to come out of Eastwood's mouth. Everything Eastwood did was entertaining. It was such a perfect performance and quite realistic. You will never see such a hardcore bad-ass performance in your life.

I see that only 80% of critics liked this film and it really disappoints me, its are to see that the actual audience is actually closer to being right than the critics, but by-god they are this time.

Most of the critics complaints are about the other actors weren't of any near quality, which in fact is ridiculous, not only did each actor play their character well, but there really wasn't a moment when i thought it could have been done better.

Rules of making a good film and this is one that many great directors have learned, that there can't be too many original characters in a film because it doesn't work. There was only one here and that works well, and in this case greatly.

The other thing that probably would have bothered critics is the amount of racial slurs he uses, well to be honest "grow a pair" and "Wake up". You think a Vietnam Veteran, a very conservative man is going to be racial friendly.

What i loved the most about this film, that everyone could see, was that it was "a true performance from the heart" not just in his acting but directing. His wisdom protrudes through the whole film, its a film with a message and no BS.

Eastwood gives you the cold hard truth through the whole film, of coarse he never was a man to tell it any other way or wrap it up in buble-paper for you.

I was as excited as a kid, i have never been that happy after a film, even with an such ending. I could recomend this to anyone i truely LOVED this film.
