This film was a great start to Cint Eastwoods spaghetti western trilogy. I thought that this film was a really deadly one. This is the first film in my opinion that made Clint Eastwood famous. It was the absolutely fantastic setting and the amazing costume design that made me feel really good about this film. It was the scenes and it was the reality of the characters too.
The acting was absolutely fantastic from Clint Eastwood as the Man With No Name. I find that the Man With Not Name character isnt just really deadly and cool but he is a character that I find a really amusing character. Most of the characters in this film appear in The Good, The Bad And The Ugly which is the third and final of the trilogy.
The direction from Sergio Leone was an awesome start to a great trilogy. I find that Leone tries to adapt these three westerns into a film that Akira Kurosawa would do. His direction made the Man With No Name a true badass. I was impressed with the written screenplay too. It really makes it like a real kick ass and bad ass film. The thing that sort of disappointed me was that I dont think it was as action packed as I was hoping it would be.
This is not the best of the Spaghetti trilogy and is not the best of Clint Eastwood (as an actor). I liked this film but I do think that The Good, The Bad And The Ugly is a better film. That is the best western film ever made. I havent seen For A Few Dollars More yet which is the second in the trilogy so will find out whether it is better than A Fistful Of Dollars. This film is a good start to a great trilogy of epic western films and for one of the coolest film characters of all time.
