9 out of 10. Ridiculously slow. Like crazy slow. Amazing score, satisfying result once you finally get there. Spaghetti or bust for me.
Ennio and sergio will not disappoint you
Leone’s unsung western masterpiece, has stood the test of time as a true American epic.
An end of an era for westerns, as it shows the evolution of the Wild West, leaving it behind in favor of modern civilization.
Despite it being technically impressive, I feel there's some clumsy editing which messes up the story and characterization. Still good.
Classic western dripping in atmosphere that keeps on building and building.
Another classic from a master of the genre!
An odyssey through the old Wild West full of gun fights, cowboys, revenge, hard living and survival. An epic only the west can provide.
Sergio Leone mastered the western genre with this masterpiece!
Quite possibly the greatest western I’ve ever seen
