Movie Review #14: For a Few Dollars More

Whew! It feels like it's been forever since I've done a movie review. Let's get right back into it with the second movie in Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy: For a Few Dollars More.

Short review: it's at times slow-paced, but generally more fast-paced than A Fistful of Dollars was. The characters are also generally more developed, giving the action sequences more meaning. Still, it's a long movie that's a bit slow at times, so I kinda drifted off a few times.

Movie Review #8: A Fistful of Dollars

Up to this point, my only experience with Westerns has been spoofs like Blazing Saddles, modern takes like Django, and the things I'd find my dad watching at six in the morning before I went to school. I'd never had anything specifically against the western genre, but the setting never appealed to me that much.

Still, Sergio Leone's classic Dollars Trilogy was as likely as anything to pull me in. So, I gave it a shot.
