This film combines big operatic visuals and satisfying but unrealistic action set to the sound of a Morricone soundtrack that has a unique Spanish/Western feel...a true masterpiece by Sergio Leone.
Leone does not care about the practical or the plausible or how long he takes to tell his story, but builds on his imagination and having an abundance of Western movie cliches, It feels like a tribute to an American genre that will survive the test of time.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, is a long, deliberate, mad epic of a film, in another day/time or place in the imagination with a style that draws attention to itself with it's larger than life visual style, exaggerated action and mythic characters.
