The Good, The Bad and the Ugly - A great adventure!
The Good, The Bad and the Ugly in my opinion is the best among the trilogy. Sporting the largest budget and the best script among "The Man With No Name" trilogy, this movie blazes across the screen brilliantly. Of course, Clint Eastwood is back and his name is Joe once again although I don't believe you ever hear him referred to as anything other than Blondie. Lee Van Cleef is back as well and he most definitely performs memorably as one of the bad guys. Eli Wallach's performance as the pseudo bad/good guy Tuco is nothing short of spectacular. The style and class of this movie is dead on with Sergio Leone's film making, making it a classic in the genre and one of the top films of the sixties. The entire film comes off as a box office success and a treasure for your home DVD collection!

The premise:

Clint Eastwood is back as Joe/Blondie - The Good guy. Eli Wallach shows up as Tuco - The Bad guy and Lee Van Cleef makes a return as Stenza the Ugly guy. The film starts wonderfully by deftly making the introductions of the three primary characters doing what they do best. Blondie ends up capturing Tuco and they make a comical deal. Stenza makes a dramatic first appearance as well.

Blondie and Tuco have a dramatic parting of the ways that also brings them back together in classic Sergio Leone style. They literally stumble across some fortunate information which leads them down the path of the civil war in the hopes off retrieving a rather large sum of money. This also forces them to run across the path of Lee Van Cleef's character, Stenza and his quest for the same information and treasure.

All of this combines to make this film a "must see" for those that are fans of this genre as it leads to the ultimate climatic ending and a classic Clint Eastwood shootout. I highly recommend this film and the entire trilogy to Eastwood and western fans. {ssintrepid}

bad sync
In the final shootout the score starts too early when Blondie drops the stone.So all the power in that shot is gone.In the short version(2h40min)the score starts half second or so later.
Also the new dubbing sounds quite bad.Good movie but not so good release.

Incredible western epic
I remember seeing ads for this movie when they would show it on TV, during those "Movies that Guys Like" marathons. I don't know why, but for some reason I thought it would just be a boring Western shoot-em-up. Now I'm 25 and I just watched all of Sergio Leone's westerns, and I have to admit that I was dead wrong. These aren't just among the greatest westerns of all time, they are some of the greatest movies of all time. "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" and "Once Upon a Time in the West" are Leone's two stunning masterpieces.

This film isn't just a shoot-em-up, although it has some of the best gunfighting scenes you will see. It is a mesmerizing epic about the old west, the Civil war, friendship, greed, and revenge. It stars the greatest Western hero of all time, Clint Eastwood, in the role that made him famous. It also stars the great Eli Wallach as "the Ugly" and Lee Van Cleef as "the Bad". Superb characters, good humor, amazing battle scenes, and incendiary cinematography make this a movie well worth buying.
