Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential video:
Clint Eastwood (the Man with No Name) is good, Lee Van Cleef (Angel Eyes Sentenza) is bad, and Eli Wallach (Tuco Benedito Pacifico Juan Maria Ramirez) is ugly in the final chapter of Sergio Leone's trilogy of spaghetti westerns (the first two were A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More). In this sweeping film, the characters form treacherous alliances in a ruthless quest for Confederate gold. Leone is sometimes underrated as a director, but the excellent resolution on this digital video disc should enhance appreciation of his considerable photographic talent and gorgeous widescreen compositions. Ennio Morricone's jokey score is justifiably famous.

Rating:  - " Sorry, Tuco."
WOW! I've always loved this flick & this Special Edition made me appreciate it all the more. Sergio Leone took all of our American, safe, comforting & familiar Western conventions, blew them all to hell & then thrust a jarring, jagged, grotesque epic in our faces. Even the landscape itself is alien-looking to us: sun-blasted & disturbingly weird, as though its from another world. The sets are all weathered, battered & awful-looking. Most of the people are striking in the strangeness ... Read More
Rating: - Great title for a great western
Sergio Leone once said that he knew more about the old west than any American. I'm not sure he was right, but he might have been right about Hollywood westerns. The Good, the Bad and the Ugly is so good that it's title has become a part of the English language lexicon. The movie is, in it's own way, a comedy but there are moments of stark realism and pathos. The movie is not particularly logical or consistent but more than makes up for it with gritty characters and austere symbollism.

Rating: - This movie is a good now as it was 40 years ago
I first saw this movie in 1968 when I returned from Vietnam,
It was one of the best cowboy shoot em ups I had seen then and yuppers now 40 years later it still is among the best of the best.
Eastwood is hard core at his best!!.
I have wanted to buy this entire series for all of this time,finally I bought this one and the 2 others exactly like it in it's series.
They are by the way the best ones of those I reviewed, they are as great now to watch as they were then...

Rating:  - Over Rated
Well, I really had high hopes for this one. Being a lover of western films, I decided I needed to go back and watch all the ones I had never seen, especially the old staples, i.e. The Wild Bunch, Magnificent Seven, etc. Having never watched one from this series, and being a moderate Eastwood fan, I was excited to get it home and watch it. All I can say was I was not impressed. I thought the musical score was annoying, screechy, repetitive, and not very interesting. It seemed Sergio Leone's greatest camera ... Read More
Rating: - Eastwood, Wallach and Van Cleef at their Best : One of the Great Action Westerns
On the heels of a "Fistful of Dollars" and "A Few Dollars More", this film is the greatest of the Italian trilogy as Wallach and Van Cleef add perfect balance to Eastwood in this western thriller set in the Civil War, in the midst of Confederate General Sibley's failed attempt to wrest New Mexico from the Union. What is superior in this film, compared to the two earlier films with Van Cleef and Eastwood, is the addition of the excellent actor Wallach who plays the unprincipled, unflinching, killer Tucco who adds ...
