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: - As it was meant to be seen
Four decades after it's release the FULL version of Sergio Leone's epic THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY is finally being seen in North America.

Missing scenes include Tucco's meeting the three bandits, Blondie and Angel Eyes when the latter's ... Read More
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.
