All three arrive at the cache at the same time. Who gets it? Director Leone doesn't seem to care very much, and after 161 minutes of mayhem, audiences aren't likely to either.

Top CriticThough ordained from the beginning, the three-way showdown that climaxes the film is tense and thoroughly astonishing.
03/28/07
Top CriticSergio Leone's epic looks good, almost great, restored to its original running time.
06/08/04
Top CriticOf all the great films of the 1960s, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is one of a fistful that can be truly appreciated only on the big screen.
09/11/03
Top CriticLeone's blockbuster is balanced on the razor's edge between popular entertainment and art film. It took classic American themes and turned them inside out.

Top CriticThis is a great movie, whatever strange estuary of the western river it occupies.
08/22/03
Top CriticAn improbable masterpiece -- a bizarre mixture of grandly operatic visuals, grim brutality and sordid violence that keeps wrenching you from one extreme to the other.
08/07/03
Top CriticArt it is, summoned out of the imagination of Leone and painted on the wide screen so vividly that we forget what marginal productions these films were.
08/05/03
Top CriticThe uncut new print reclaims the widescreen majesty of Tonino Delli Colli's cinematography, allowing you to see every iconic wart and furrow on every bad guy's face.
08/01/03
Top CriticIt's great to see a great director's film as he intended it, with rich color and restored sound.
06/03/03
Top CriticAll told, and in giant widescreen, it's only blood-red adolescent fun, but it blooms like Douglas Sirk with a Gatling gun compared to the teenage demographic's current fare.
