Less tight in its narrative but it has far more interesting characters that aren't the man with no name. Sergio feels allot more present in this one with his direction because this time he had a bigger budget to work with and thats apparant in its scope and setpieces which are all bigger and better then the ones from a fistfull of dollars.
Leone took this little film that was loosely adapted from a akira kurosawa film and made it his own.
A lot of its character introductions are great. The camera movements are slick and the score by ennio Morrison is great.
For a Few Dollars More
The man with no name is back... the man in black is waiting... a walking arsenal - he uncoils, strikes and kills!

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A stylish, methodical pursuit across desert wastelands where two hardened gunmen circle a sadistic prey, punctuated by explosive bursts of violence and moral ambiguity. It's a study in cool efficiency dressed up in operatic posturing.
