It's 160 minutes and drags during the second half (especially when Tuco and Blondie become prisoners of the Union army and the subsequent blowing up of the bridge). However, I did enjoy it and loved the famous score. I was surprised that Eli Wallach had more screen time than Clint Eastwood, and that Lee Van Cleef had a smaller part than the other two (especially after his strong opening scene). I guess it lives up to its reputation as the ultimate spaghetti western.

I may have mentioned a few hundred times that Westerns aren't my genre. But this might be one of a handful of Westerns that I enjoyed more than slept through. Might have a lot to do with the score. You say "Wicked" , like it's a bad thing.
