Critics Consensus

With Clint Eastwood in the lead, Ennio Morricone on the score, and Sergio Leone's stylish direction, For a Few Dollars More earns its recognition as a genre classic.

Wendy Ide

The Times (UK)

Leone’s use of sparse, brooding silences and Ennio Morricone’s instantly recognisable score mean that the film’s soundtrack is just as effective as the striking visuals.

Slant Magazine

The stage is set here for Sergio Leone’s coming masterpieces, which would transcribe this intense, unsettling energy onto a canvas large enough to fit all of its splenetic, bloodletting rage.

Empire Magazine

Doesn't have the narrative strength of the first in the trilogy but individual scenes are still brilliant and each ingredient in just perfect, cast, score, tone...

Rated: 4/5

While Eastwood is of course the star, this is arguably Van Cleef’s picture.

Rated: 3.5/4

Cinema greatness! And to top it off, Leone has to have some of the most interesting and strange looking people populating his film that you'd swear Fellini loaned him a band of extras.

Rated: 5/5

Very good movie, good soundtrack. Not as good as The Good The Bad And The Ugly, but still very good.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Might be my favorite out of the three. It has the most emotion in it and the story might feel cliche to some but to me it's beautiful western classic that elaborated and added so well to the western robbery flicks. The ending dual's tensity felt even more present compared to "The Good the Bad and the Ugly" similar dual scene. The music alone makes me want to levitate and go ride off into the desert wearing a poncho.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

While up there with the quality of the original with brilliant music and acting, the plot was quite boring and many moments dragged out.

Somewhat confusing, just like "For a fistfull of dollars". It is one of "the classics", so see it for that reason, but you will not be too exited.
