The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

During the entire three hour duration I was riveted, this movie has so many compelling and beautiful settings that when combined with the fine screenwriting/acting/directing/music it is no doubt one of the best movies I have ever seen.

Spectacular and supremely entertaining. Funny, tense, exciting, gripping. What really amazes me about this movie is the way Leone uses the frame so masterfully. Three amazing characters, dialogue that sparkles, and an endless supply of gripping scenarios that keeps the balance of power constantly shifting. Beautifully composed frames and Morricone's unforgettable score. One of the most enjoyable times you can possibly have with a movie.

I was alone on first viewing and when the final frame struck, I jumped out of my chair and stalked around with gaping grin, spluttering. With no-one to hear me extoll the score/the silence, the close-ups/the landscapes, the barbs/the quips, the alliances/the deceptions, the stares/the standoffs; there was only one thing to do - whistle, endlessly.

Duel with a trio, should be called a triel? No suspense movie will have such suspense and no comedy such irony. Twist and turn baby, there will never be a movie so jolly.

What a gorgious movie with Eastwood. The good, the bad and the ugly, they played brillantly. The final minutes of this movie is so funny and hilarious, with super music. One of the best westerns ! Brilliant !!!
