Advantages: great movie, clint eastwood Disadvantages: 15 certificate
Plenty of people I know who have watched the film disagree with me that it is one of the best western films made.I totally disagree this film sequels a fist full of dollars,of which is also one of the best around of its time.
The sequel has been branded unneccesary and downgrades the 1st film but if the film had not been produced the first would not of had the same affect as it did.
Clint Eastwood is at his peak in both the films and so is the ... ...i know that he is a star.the theme in both films is incredible and i am told that there are other films that have been based on the same theme to try and get money and more viewers but since the two fabulous westerns came out no film has continued with the success that they did.
Altogether a great watch ...

Advantages: Shoot out scenes Disadvantages: Not a great role for Russell Crowe

A un-realistic close bond which is created between these unfamiliar foes, which blossoms throughout the film at least adds something different to ... ...and mouse chase between Russell Crowe's gang and Christian Bale, make out for a ending which was to be expected by many of the viewers, after both actors successfulness, this film is a step back in their amazing line up to films in which they have acted and will hope to forget and move on. ...

Advantages: see the film the way it was meant to be seen Disadvantages: none
...look at the legend of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. Released in this new form it adds extra scenes which give more character study although in places it does seem like there are still parts missing.
Nevertheless it is a beautifully shot film which due to the subject matter has a sense of inevitable doom about it. The violence that is so much a part of Peckinpah's films is here in its full glory serving to show the true brutality of the Old West.

Your dropped right into the action from the start but given no explanation why, you won't find out the reasons behind why a group of men are chasing 1 man until almost near the end of the movie.

Mainly this is Gideon being chased from 1 location to another meeting not many people and seemingly falling foul of all the people he meets.
Also its ... ...until it's just him & Carver left chasing each other across a desert where you discover Carver was a retired Confederate Colonel who Gideon (a former Union soldier) who Carver had chased to try and find him & his men (although it's not really clearly explained exactly why he's looking for them or what they are supposed to have done) despite the fact the civil war is over.
Eventually after Gideon orders his men to burn the Carver family barn the ...
