The second film in Leone's Dollar trilogy finds the Italian director in better form than in A Fistful of Dollars. For a Few Dollars More has better writing, superior production values, and more characters who aptly complement Eastwood's stoic Man with No Name. Read full review

Sam Adams

While it doesn’t have the lunatic fervor of The Good, The Bad’s climatic cemetery shootout, For A Few Dollars more feels like its successor’s equal, which is about as great a compliment as I can bestow. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Leone's artful editing of close-ups to communicate the characters' spatial relationships is always a pleasure, and here he unveils his stylistic signature—extreme close-ups of the characters' eyes—as Van Cleef surveys the villain's wanted poster. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

A hard-hitting western with upper-case values out of the busy Italo stable, this is a topnotch action entry. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Here is a gloriously greasy, sweaty, hairy, bloody and violent Western. It is delicious. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

Not as stylish as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but a significant step forward from A Fistful of Dollars, with the usual terrific compositions, Morricone score, and taciturn performances, not to mention the ubiquitous flashback disease. Read full review

Bosley Crowther

The fact that this film is constructed to endorse the exercise of murderers, to emphasize killer bravado and generate glee in frantic manifestations of death is, to my mind, a sharp indictment of it as so-called entertainment in this day. Read full review

The bit where Man With No Name (Clint Eastwood) is hat blasting Douglas Mortimer's hat away from him is honestly brilliant. Also, I bloody love everything in this movie, the plot, the characters, the dialogue, the gun fights, the composers theme which is used throughout this movie and ClintThe bit where Man With No Name (Clint Eastwood) is hat blasting Douglas Mortimer's hat away from him is honestly brilliant. Also, I bloody love everything in this movie, the plot, the characters, the dialogue, the gun fights, the composers theme which is used throughout this movie and Clint Eastwood being a bad ass throughout. Overall, it's an amazing Spaghetti Western movie with lots of action and lots of good moments throughout. I'd recommend for you to watch this after you've watched A Fistful Of Dollars, that's also really good but I prefer this one a little bit more but yeah, it's honestly worth the watch.… Expand

A obra conta com uma trilha sonora ainda mais marcante e impactante. Você arrepia, entra no clima, e o suspense chega ao nível máximo. Os personagens são ainda melhores, e o destaque dado ao Coronel funcionou muito bem. Junto com todo plot envolvendo o Índio e ele. Inclusive, plot esse que aumenta muito a proporção das coisas.

A fotografia está excelente, com uns planos que chegam a encher os olhos. Algumas cenas são memoráveis, como o encontro entre o Coronel e Monco - Não posso deixar de mencioná-la. A atuação de forma geral está muito boa, junto com os efeitos práticos utilizados. O enredo é muito chamativo e cheio de revira voltas que não deixam que a obra caia em monotonismo, fora o desenvolvimento de personagem que está ótimo.

Por fim, deixo aqui minha recomendação. Esse filme é essencial para quem é amante da sétima arte.… Expand

For a Few Dollard More is an amazing film though perhaps not as influential as The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. There is one improvement over that film though, and that is the writing of Clint Eastwood's character, more developed and more compelling. A Fistful of Dollars is also great because of everything that makes TGTBATU and FAFDM so good, but I do consider the other two more influential on the genre and also Akira Kurosawa's Yojimbo, which used the film as its inspiration, to be the superior film. Back to A Few Dollars More, the stylised visuals are stunning to look at, the scenery is the very definition of epic and the cinematography sweeps. Ennio Morricone's score is both elegiac and operatic in tone and the story of greed and revenge that focuses mainly on the pursuit of bandit Indio draws you right in and never lets go. The dialogue is peppered with grit and dark humour, which is well-balanced with neither over-powering the other, while Leone's direction is superb. Clint Eastwood plays his more developed character with immense charisma, Lee Van Cleef is suitably vengeful and again Gian Maria Volonte snarls convincingly. Overall, a wonderful film. 10/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

This is just an amazing movie. The final scene is just beautiful. It isn't as good as The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but it remains a great film.

This film contains more of the same from the mysterious man - I love me some C. Easwood - mean and moody etc. There's something charming about the budget English dubbing (from the original Italian, I believe) and (if anythng moreso) the instrumental, sometimes quite high pitched music playedThis film contains more of the same from the mysterious man - I love me some C. Easwood - mean and moody etc. There's something charming about the budget English dubbing (from the original Italian, I believe) and (if anythng moreso) the instrumental, sometimes quite high pitched music played in the background. It is quite atmospheric and I enjoyed the battle or confrontation scenes. I think I liked that there are a number of young children and babies present in various scenes featuring the local villagers, giving an extra sense of urgency and fragility in terms of the innocents caught in the cross fires.

I'm not sure I'd say its as good as the original 'Fistful of Dollars' film but its still a decent watch and I'd recommend it on that basis.… Expand

An improved version of "A fistful of dollars". Richer characters and set pieces, decent plot and amazing score.
