Just watched this one and I have to say that I was disappointed! The characters are extremely flat and the story hardly goes on. There are of course some good moments like when Anthony Steffen digs his grave (what an amazing moment), where the music fits very well and I can’t imagine it better, but generally the hole movie gave me the taste that it tried very hard to have an specific style. I’m not saying that it hasn’t, but I could feel an effort to be something more. I can think now of the scene where Steffen rides in and we can see him trough a Winchester trigger. I didn’t like it at all! Over the top! In my opinion the style is not something that you can force. When you do too much, you kill it. And how about the duel at the end? Garrone wanted soo much to have made The good, the bad and the ugly. It was obvious! Even the score was tending towards Morricone and stepping back when the connection became too obvious.
Maybe I was not in the mood for pasta tonight and I read that many of you like this film, but I was expecting much more! Even Macchiavelli couldn’t save it! Although being the worse film appearance of her that I’ve seen, I don’t know what I’ve would have done if she didn’t appear in it. And what an awful love story!!! And what about the Mexican couple! Ahhh!!!
I think that I should stop writing about it. :-X
So, conclusion. 2/5 :
P.S.: What the heck were those black & white flashbacks??? :o
