I thought this was a pretty good film overall. The plot was interesting and the characters were decent. However it is also really long and I found it a bit difficult to sit through. There were definitely some scenes that I felt didn't add much to the story and could have been removed in order to shorten the length of the movie. The story moved fairly slow and it was hard for to stay focused. I did like how the 3 main character's stories came together and they had also crossed paths before. It was interesting how the protagonist wasn't even that great of a person either. He was more so just the best out of the three. He wasn't the cowboy savior type, and had they not told me he was the good one, I don't know that I would have figured that out until near the end. The end sequence between the three guys was overdramatic though, and I found myself rolling my eyes at how long it lasted. Most of the westerns I've seen have some sort of comedy aspect, which holds my attention for longer, whereas this film was all serious all the time. The one part that made me laugh was when Tuco was riding through the desert with a pink umbrella sine he's supposed to be a tough criminal. While this movie didn't really change my mind about westerns and I definitely didn't love it, I do think it was well made. The story was pretty well developed and it had a good ending. Not to mention the music throughout the movie is really cool. It's not my favorite, but I didn't hate it and I can see why so many people like it so much.

AuthorHello fellow film lovers! Just a little bit about me: I love movies from the Old Hollywood era, especially musicals. In general, my movie taste is a bit all over the place. I don't really stick to one genre, as I just watch whatever looks interesting! I look forward to broadening my horizons in terms of film and reviewing them to the best of my ability in an honest way. Reading another passion of mine, and I'm frequently told I have an old soul, so expect to see a lot of older films being reviewed. I hope you can find what you need here! Archives
