This has to be one of my favorite original films. It was pretty much the first western genre movie that was actually bare able to watch in one sitting. I'm glad that it was not quite as long as most movie from the 60's. The acting all-around was absolutely phenomenal. Some real top notch shit, especially from Clint Eastwood. Who I think is in the top 3 for most badass characters of all time. The only thing about the acting that I disliked was the sound bites. Where the voices were not in sync with the actors mouth. It was somewhat distracting, but not enough to make me dislike the movie. I enjoyed the journey for "the bad" because he was pretty eerie and brought forth a lot of suspense. I have to admit for a movie from the 60's I was surprised with how well done the camerawork was. Especially in the scene where Tuco and his posse attempted to kill blondie. The final showdown was another well shot scene. No pun intended. Through all of my love for this film one scene that I disliked was the desert walking scene because it dragged on for far too long. But the dried out skin looked very realistic and grotesque. The most iconic thing about this whole film is the memorable soundtrack. Which got me pumped up every time I heard it. Also the performance from Tuco was unbelievably good. He was serious when he needed to be, but mostly he added comedic relief with countless memorable scenes and quotes. All I can say is that this movie is a bloody classic that everyone should watch. |
