Reviews
ChicRawIdol A brilliant film that helped define a genre
Stoutor It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
J Besser I was late to the party on this one. I always liked it but after a number of viewings spanning several decades I finally appreciate it's greatness. Leone took his time telling a story. But for me, "For a Few Dollars More" is the only one that doesn't seem to be just a bit too long. Great stuff right from the get go.
Pjtaylor-96-138044 Set to the tune of what is, for my money, the best musical score of the three 'Man With No Name' pictures and perhaps my favourite western score of all time, this larger-scale sequel is an improvement on the first mainly in terms of its plotting. 'For A Few Dollars More (1965)' casts Eastwood's nameless stranger - who's introductory sequence is one of the best in cinema history - as a dangerous but reckless bounty killer, pairing him with Lee Van Cleef's methodical and sophisticated Colonel as they aim to take down a well-known criminal and pocket the large reward. Van Cleef has a more personal stake in the action whereas Eastwood's in it for the cash and this juxtaposition wisely adds variety to the already well established formula as their uneasy partnership is never as straightforward as it may seem. Along the way we get the blistering confrontations and cool cigar-chewing banter we'd expect from a picture of this calibre. Those stare-downs are just as good as ever and, while there's nothing here quite as intense as the final showdown from the trilogy's first instalment, the feature as a whole is just a lot more fun. 8/10
Stephen Bird All three films of the Dollars trilogy are undoubtedly classics, but For a Few Dollars More is better than A Fist Full of Dollars and not that far off The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The man with no name strikes again, and Clint Eastwood is the man with no gimmicks, the guy just doesn't need one, he oozes charisma and demands respect without even needing to open his mouth. Lee Van Cleef plays a great foil for the western legend, but his natural charm and efficiency has to give way for that of Eastwood's, you just knew from the beginning of their partnership who would walk away looking stronger, nobody outshines Eastwood, nobody. I like westerns for their vastness and attempts to venture into the unknown, spaghetti westerns are a particular favourite, Sergio Leone is capable of assembling a cast of relatively unknown foreigners to star alongside the two American leads and just make it work, make a classic out of it. The Dollars trilogy are proper old school, grown up films..., a time before the younger generations took control, cluttered with prima donas and kids who consider themselves to be hard, no-no you're not hard, not at all, Clint Eastwood's hard, the older generations were hard, and this trilogy of films is a shining example. I loved the sound of the gunfire echoing and reverberating across the landscape, loud and raw, you don't get that in film anymore..., I loved Ennio Morricone's haunting score, some of the best music in film I've ever heard, the closet thing to perfect you'll ever hear..., and I loved the slower more methodical pacing of the film, it doesn't go head first or a hundred miles an hour, it's slow at times almost to a crawl, it builds tension and adds to brilliance. El Indio the main antagonist of the film is revolting, a hideous, heartless man with no morals, I was impressed that a character was created such as this without making him over the top and overly animated, he like a lot of the film is slow, somewhat lazily, but he's truly disgusting nonetheless. For a Few Dollars More was released during a transitional time in Hollywood, gone was the golden era but the New Hollywood era hadn't quite reared its head just yet, therefore I don't quite know what era to class this film as, I'm going to go with neither, it doesn't have a category, it stands alone with its two other trilogy mates, making all three films that extra bit special, they staggered the line between two distinctive eras. For any budding film fan or film student, all three films in this spaghetti western trilogy are essential viewing.
Miguel Neto in my opinion For a Few Dollars More is the weakest of the trilogy of dollars of Sergio Leone, even more so is a good movie, Sergio Leone this very well, the action scenes are very good, the picture is excellent, the costumes are great, very good cast, Clint Eastwood too and as always, the soundtrack is very good, all movies trilogy of dollars had good soundtrack, the pace is good, the movie goes fast, the script has some problems, had unnecessary scenes, some dialogues which in my opinion should not have, even more so the film goes fast, For a Few Dollars More is a good movie, good action scenes and beautiful photography. Note 7.7
