A Fistful of Dollars is a great western, but this is a huge leap forward. It's more compelling in terms of narrative, direction, cinematography...it's pretty much superior in every single aspect. It doesn't have the grand scale of The Good, The Bad and The Ugly, but instead, it's a leaner, more muscular film in which not a frame is wasted. The combined screen presence between Eastwood, Van Cleef and Volonte is explosive.

Deeper and darker sequel. El Indio is a heinous villain, you don’t even notice Klaus Kinski. There’s this running motif throughout of someone lighting their tobacco from someone else’s and I’ve come to the conclusion that it signifies how annoying it is to keep matches on you in the rootin rootin old west.

The second of the Leone westerns is just as enjoyable as the first with some excellently directed screenplay and cleverly taken scenes coupled with another series of great characters, some old and some new. Eastwood is just as good as usual and is backed up by the equally excellent Van Cleef as a fellow bounty hunter. This installment also seems to have been injected with a wacky sense of humour, displayed no more profoundly than in scenes such as the hat-shooting showdown. What you'd expect.

Comparing to the films of 50 years later, this film was apparently made for a smarter audience. Even when the guy says "I'll tell you the plan.", he doesn't. Nowadays film plots are so simple yet still they try to tell the whole story verbally, just in case.

The first shot of this movie sums up its effect: soundlessly slowly a man crosses the desert. The tension builds with his approach. It builds, and then! snap! Quiet tension and amazing screen presences keep your eyes glued to the screen throughout. (Now that I've seen the whole trilogy, Leone revisits his same ideas, making them bigger each time. Part of watching is seeing how Leone grows. His hand is visible, because he is bigger than his work.)

The villain's plans increasingly feel like the writers are just trying to figure out new twists as they go (let the bounty hunters go free presuming they'll kill the other 10 guys - w/ guns that appear from nowhere - & then go toe to toe w/ them?), but Leone directs with such style, stopping just short of parody w/ his overheated stand-offs & the story moves in such unpredictable ways it's hard not to see what made these so great. Laconic bad-sses are rarely surrounded by this much creativity.

Lee Van Cleef is a great addition to the already superb cast, bringing the 2nd film of the trilogy one level higher. The film itself is a more perfected version of the quintessential western that A Fistful was: the atmosphere is palpably menacing and the psychopathy of Gian Maria Volontè's character makes him a villain to remember. The chemistry between Eastwood and Van Cleef, and the intricate interaction between the leads + the atmospheric score complement everything smoothly. & Klaus Kinski!

This is a sublime movie. The story is better rounded than the first, they are not any technical hiccups with the duels, fighting scenes, the scenery is even more impressive and excellent acting all around. You think what else they can do with the music first, but it is even better than the first in that aspect also. It is just pure genius how they use natural sounds, repetitive themes to give a special feeling to the movie. I wish more directors have this few but impactful movie mindset.

Leone developing his style and giving it richer context and substance. There's still a sense that he's playing around with the format. It's more disjointed and baggy than Fistful but has more originality and vision, more self-aware about the nihilistic macho-fantasy it portrays. Eastwood is more human than in the other two and the music is still classic. You can really see the evolution and progress throughout Leone's work, all leading up to his grande finale with America.

A little less action laiden than the other two, but a fantastic movie anyway. Leone's awesome close-ups are most prominent in this one, and as the other two it ends with a sweeping, poignant, and charismatic ending.

Quite a pleasant romp in the saddle (don't ask me why I used those words). You asked for a western, you got one, here it is, not too much fuss, plenty of show, a bit of glaring, great characters - but that goes without saying - and a free-spirited shoot-em-up ride into the sunset. Can't ask for much more than that.

Intense. Leone's directorial skills improved significantly in just the year after A Fistful of Dollars. This whole film feels more refined and precise, both technically and narratively. The three main characters are some of the most memorable in any western, and I especially love Gian Maria Volonte. He's got those wonderful ice cold eyes. And look, Klaus Kinski!

The weakest of the Leone/Eastwood trilogy. It certainly has a lot going for it... the usual iconic Leone widescreen compositions, Morricone music, Eastwood and Lee Van Cleef, humor, Klaus Kinski, et cetera. But it's just not as memorable as the other two. Despite this being my third viewing, I couldn't remember what happens in it. Not that it isn't a good story, it just doesn't really stick with you as much afterwards. I still like watching it, though.

Better than Fistful of Dollars, but not quite as good as Good Bad Ugly. Where Fistful occasionally suffered from its small budget, Leone was here able to take the action to the next level (although, of course, he would take it to the millionth level with GBU).

As if it could not get any better. I mean, you already have 'Manco' as an established badass, then you add Mortimer and his arch-rival El Indio, which are both so rich and deep that it is amazing; Eastwood's cowboy is sacrificed to enrich the rivalry between the Colonel and the Indian but it pays so well when you figure out the true meaning behind it all. It over-dramatizes some bits that drag on but it is still a superb take on the classic Western; Morricone and Leone, my hat is off to you.

I didn't find the bad guys as memorable as the first movie but everything else about this movie was fantastic. I loved the set up of having two bounty hunters there was a feeling throughout the movie that one of them was going to screw over the other at any moment. Towards the end of the movie you could feel a real comradery between the two of them. The acting and direction were top notch in this sequel and it whet my whistle in anticipation for the last of the series.

A Few More Dollars is much better than Fistful of Dollars and is much more entertaining than Once Upon a Time in the West (although not nearly as pretty or refined). Morricone's score is, as always, integral to the movie, and the final showdown owes it a great deal. Leone was clearly building up to something fantastic.....

I guess "A Fistful of Dollars" suffered heavily from its low budget, but this one makes up for it. Form its cold-blooded opening (which really sets the tone right), this is a marvelous Spaghetti Western from the great Leone, definitely one of his best. Personally, I prefer "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly", but the man with no name is amazing as always.

much more fleshed out than "for a fistful", and more accessible than "good, bad and ugly", this movie cements Eastwood's cult status. Although Leone relies a bit too heavily on the raw charisma of the leads and the face-off scenes, the story is quite intriguing, with a hint of the paranoia which is missing from the other two films. Epic soundtrack renders it even more memorable.

A beautifully shot film that is defined by it's code of masculinity. Kinski gives a great, excitable performance, and Volonte provides El Indio with a sensual, erotic appeal. Both of these performances counter Van Cleef and Eastwood's stoic heroism. Of course, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Morricone's score. The scene where El Indio plays the music the first time, and it gives way to Morricone's rising eruption of noise, before coming back to the music, is one of the best scenes in the film

Eastwood has loosened into the role this time around & can claim an established back story, leading to a credible performance. Another observation; rarely do you see a lead actor return for a sequel as a different character, albeit the lead protagonist, as Volente does here. Highlights are the hat(s) sequence & the finale. Good to see Kinski out of nowhere too, as a blonde hunchback of all things.

Best of the 'Dollars' trilogy. Not by a whole lot, but I think it is. Improves upon nearly everything in AFOD and doesn't suffer from the bloated narrative of TGTBATU. The musical locket is also the best aspect out of the entire trilogy; I just love the usage of the soundtrack playing directly into the fears of both the characters and the audience.

Lee Van Cleef is at LEAST as cool as Eastwood in this. Leone is a much better director than when he made Fistful, and makes every scene dynamic and clear. While ultimately I still think this is just good filmmaking, not great, it's easily worth your time.

For all intents and purposes, I've always thought that Lee Van Cleef was more of the focus instead of Eastwood in this film. At the very least, he had more of a personal stake in the story line and that is precisely why this is my favorite of the first two movies in the Dollars trilogy. Gian Maria Volonté returns as the(you guessed it) villain of the piece and, well, he is just as effective as he was in the original. The music is great, and the tone is as gritty as ever. Great stuff.

What Leone does well is explore character depth well in the context of the Wild West, and more importantly the motives of his characters. You couldn't say there were any 'good' or 'bad' guys in here, but a lot of men with the same aims. In the end very few stood, but intriguingly for different reasons (both fortune and redemption). Great flick.

Borders on pastiche, and Eastwood character is rendered a bit of an anomaly, redundant by Van Cleef, who clearly stars, Eastwood even seems out of place at times. Decent acting, writing and plot nothing to shout about, but some lovely shots and moments enough to make it a worthy western, if a little poured on at times.

In its trilogy, it's a by-no-means-shameful 2nd place. It's more ambitious than the first, and it flexes the muscle of its higher budget. Eastwood is amazing as always, and Van Cleef very nearly steals the show from him. The final showdown is awesome, even if it can't compare to the final movie's.

With each film of the dollars trilogy Leone learned more. This time an original but simple plot, the addition of Lee Van Cleef, more emotional depth, and just an all around better atmosphere make this a great ride. Morricone's score is stronger, and Klaus Kinski even makes an appearance. The final duel is certainly one of the best, up there with the one from the sequel and Once Upon a Time in the West.

A strong film, significantly more well-made than its predecessor, with a terrific score courtesy of the one and only Ennio Morricone, Lee Van Cleef as Clint's unlikely partner and a script overall more well-written.

The "Dollars" films featuring the Man with No Name are total classics that will never get old. Eastwood portrays the ultimate bounty hunter and Van Cleef's performance matches Clint's perfectly.

A pedant like me would say that the double crossings go one step too far and that it suffers from having so many similar grizzled male characters. But in truth, these flaws are easy to forgive because of Leone's fantastically stylised direction and repetition of motifs which boldly transgress the border of cheesiness to become iconic. He draws you fully into his spaghetti western fantasy world, and it is hugely enjoyable. Great images, tension, music and performances that stand the test of time.

I found A Fistful of Dollars hard to watch, having loved Yojimbo so much. I didn't feel that the utter badassery of a Samurai translated well into a gunslinger, since it feels like firing a gun requires less skill than using a sword. Anyways, with For a Few Dollars More I was finally free of the Kurosawa ripoff burden. I really, really enjoyed this movie. The awful dubbing is unforgivable, but otherwise the film is structured simply, tense as hell, and totally badass.
