First of all I have to say I love movies. Been a big movie fan for years now, but somehow I've missed a few classics. So browsing through my unwatched dvds I picked this baby out!
It's not at all what I was expecting. Whilst it's pretty violent and atmospheric, it's also pretty funny. The direction by the legendary Sergio Leone is amazing, well ahead of its time. The three leads were perfect. I was interested to read that there were a few scenes that were recently discovered and they were redubbed and added to the movie. i didn't spot these scenes but on finding out what they were, I guess you could notice. There seem to be a bit of a split on whether these extra scenes added to the movie or not - for my untrained eye they were certainly worth including.
The soundtrack is amazing and I really liked the haunting song sung by the prisoners, so I downloaded it from itunes. The movie has certainly renewed my interest in westerns and I reckon I'm gonna be on a roll. My rating 90/100
