“This one only gets better with each viewing. Leoneu0026#39;s masterful storytelling and Morriconeu0026#39;s crazy, beautiful, epic soundtrack; desperate, haunted faces which look like the barren landscapes the story is set in and a plot that unfolds with impeccable pacing to culminate in THE ultimate western finale.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAs in Leoneu0026#39;s previous films, music isnu0026#39;t just used to add to the atmosphere but is essential to the story, or perhaps even more: Morriconeu0026#39;s main musical theme plays the actual role of a (or rather: the) protagonist in the film. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnyone who thought that the so called u0026quot;Spaghetti westernsu0026quot; were nothing but cheap, violent B-movies had to reconsider after seeing this film. It doesnu0026#39;t get any better than this: this is movie history; iconic, classic, unforgettable, epic. For this film, I just run out of superlatives.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMy vote: 10 out of 10u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFavorite films: http://www.IMDb.com/list/mkjOKvqlSBs/u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLesser-known Masterpieces: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls070242495/u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFavorite Low-Budget and B-movies: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls054808375/u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eFavorite TV-Shows reviewed: http://www.imdb.com/list/ls075552387/”
