A stone classic - great film! - By: Chris Wood, 04 Nov 2008
A stone classic - great film!This is a fantastic film, a brilliant example of a western or a war film, as well as being a very entertaining movie. The action is brutal & the directing makes this an amazing spectacle.

This is one of the best films I've ever seen.

Good bad Ugly double DVD - By: Mr. Thomas R. Hardwick, 07 Sep 2008
This film is getting on a bit, but Sergio Leone knew how to make us sit up & take notice, oh yes.

The double disc set is the one to go for as the Eastwood / Wallach chats to camera are fascinating as they look back. The commentary is superb too, adding enormously to the pleasure you get out of this (restored to original length) film.

It's nowin 5.1 surround as well & the picture quality on an upscaling DVD player into a big 46" 1080p TV are astonishing.

Ground breaking - By: Mr. Derek R. Osbourne, 18 Jul 2008
Of course this movie was really a prequel to Fistful of Dollars but it cemented the dominance of the spaghetti western as a new, grittier & somewhat more authentic type of western. Straight after seeing this movie I watched John Wayne, Bob MItchum & James Caanin El Dorado & the contrast could not have been more stark. El Dorado is very much a good quality standard of it's type & already out of date as a cinematic style. Eventually the conflict between the two styles led to seventies gritty westerns like the Wild Bunch & the John Wayne style disappeared. Ironically Clint Eastwood, the star of The Good, the Bad & the Ugly, led the revival of the new American western retaining the best of the old & adopting the visual style of the new - & this led to The Outlaw Josey Wales & Unforgiven.

A great transitional movie.
