Reviews for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
[Leone] weighs every movement carefully; every footstep, every squeeze of the trigger, screams epic. Everything is important and nothing is insignificant.

An extravagantly plotted epic propelled by waves of free-flowing emotion and a palpable love for the American past

There are two kinds of people, my friend. Those who love Sergio Leone's The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, and those who resist the machismo and gallows humor of what is arguably the definitive spaghetti western.

The most ambitious of Eastwood's collaborations with Leone

It's great to see a great director's film as he intended it, with rich color and restored sound.

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.

May lose some of its jolt on the small screen, but this flick features some of Clint Eastwood's and Sergio Leone's finest moments.

Both epic and intimate: The sun-baked panoramas of the West (actually Spain) and the gigantic battles of North against South have a counterpoint in the dramas that play out between the three men.

Sergio Leone sure is a great director. He has a unique visual style, combining gorgeous establishing shots of Western landscape and tense close-ups.

The movie that solidified Eastwood's iconography. Leone's dazzling Techniscope cinematics far surpass the familiar plot.

Pure spaghetti western perfection.

Long, funny, and featuring one of Ennio Morricone’s greatest scores, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly is a sheer pleasure to watch.

Morricone's soundtrack is one the most powerful in the history cinema and it alone is the reason why this film should be so highly appreciated.
