It was ok, but not great

I'm not a huge fan of westerns, but I did enjoy Unforgiven a lot, and if you count Dances with Wolves a western (I don't, but if you do) then I thought that was awesome as well.

This one however is a bit too boring for me. It wasn't terrible, but it was way too long. I think maybe I saw an extended cut? I really don't know, but I do know there were several scenes that could have been cut out.

Kinda jarring to see Clint Eastwood so young here, but he does his job well. He always is a good actor, so no complaints with him. The dubbing is fairly horrible with everyone else though, I understand that a lot of the dialogue is in Italian if I'm not mistaken. Well the English dubs suck, and don't match up at all. But then again, dubbing over someone's lips saying something completely different is damn near impossible anyway.

All that aside, not completely horrible, but not my cup of tea either.

And you felt a burning desire to post that here on the board of one of the worlds most beloved Westerns, what a douche.

You ought to try "user reviews", maybe someone will be interested in your opinion. This was the best movie of all time! Clint Eastwood was his usual self(great), but Eli Wallach was absolutely fantastic, should have won an oscar for that performance.

Yes you're right it will probably be forgotten about in a year or two

You might enjoy Once Upon A Time in the West a lot more.

I agree. It was boring at times and too long. I have seen other films that were over 3 or 4 hours long that were more entertaining. This movie dragged.
