Advantages: Epic end to the story, blinding special effects
Disadvantages: Plot felt slightly tired and the grand philosophical theme a little contrived

...I was dead keen to watch this film after seeing the first two parts of the trilogy and I have to say I personally was disappointed. The first film is, of course, brilliant; the second deals with bigger issues than just Neo's quest to find himself but is still strong and has a lot to offer. But by the time we get to the third part it's all starting to get a bit tired. I found myself longing for the gritty, desperate involvement I felt in the first film.

The film was part of Leone's second trilogy (His first being The Dollar Trilogy). The trilogy includes 'C'era una volta il West - Once Upon A Time In The West' and 'Once Upon A Time In America'. The trilogy was created to show three main historical times in history, this one with the Mexican Revolution. Leone uses the elements of his Spaghetti Westerns and what we'd see in the future with 'Once Upon A Time In America'. The soundtrack to this composed by Ennio Morricone is a lot more like Once Upon A time In America, and generally has a different feel to it, but still keeps true... Read review
