Ketrivie It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

cinemajesty Movie Review: "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" (2008)In this Action-Adventure import from South Korean motion picture production company CJ Entertainment, founded 1995 as CJ E&M Film Division, also-handling their international distribution, comes the knock-out of high-quality movie entertainment. Loosely adapted from Luciano Vincenzoni and Sergio Leone's screenplay from 1965/1966 for the Western-Classic "The Good, The Bad And The Ugly" starring Clint Eastwood as The Good; here in this inspired variation of Director Jee-Woon Kim, already with Hollywood approval in directing "The Last Stand" (2013) starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, accelerates fireworks in well-choreographed shoot-outs, knife as fist-fighting of protagonist-chasing parties from Japanese military to Chinese bandits with suspense-pushing story twists of three title-given characters, all up front actor Kang-ho Song, known from international hit movies "Memoirs of Murder" (2003) and "Snowpiercer" (2013), playing the tricky as shrewd character of "The Weird" with such delights that "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" becomes an amazing exotically-classic Action-Movie with great production design, packed and wrapped in World-War-II times of the Wild Far Eastern country of Manchuria, and skillful cinematography, for original-mimicking triangle stand-off in hyper-thrilling conclusion of this treasure hunt plot to be watch over and over joyfully again, just for the shear splendid execution of production under tight budgetary conditions.© 2018 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)

basil-grimes Action ? Yes. Comedy ? Yes. Adventure ? Yes. A mix of all three and much more than that. In the midst of a war (reminder, of course, of The Good, The Bad, The Ugly, the truly classical western, maybe the best of them all) the three main characters have a different agenda.I will not spoil the pleasure of find for yourselves what the jackpot really is, but I must tell you that is all about getting rich, the common theme to this genre.But there is a twist. The Bad is a martial artist expert and The Ugly becomes The Weird, responsible for the comedy accents of the movie. The Good is, just as in the original, a bounty hunter, but the similarities stop here.Because the action scenes are fantastic. There are no flying ninjas nor superheroes, and all this type of scenes have more realism than the old westerns.If you are tired of clichés and want a breath of fresh air, I highly recommend you watch it.

Sean Lamberger This self-dubbed "kimchee western" wears its inspiration on its sleeve, throws caution to the wind and just goes for it. And, unexpectedly, it's an almost-unanimous success. Although it's spiced by a fresh, eastern sense of direction and a series of "did they really just try that" camera angles, the mood feels right, the scenery looks right and the cast is right at home on horseback with their weapons drawn, cocked and pointed. It's much gorier than the Leone classics it tries to emulate, which makes it a bit less serious, but the three leads make up for that with their performances. Woo-sung Jung (The Good) is the standout, channeling Lee Van Cleef's lawful bounty hunter in Fistful of Dollars, but Kang-ho Song (The Weird) keeps him in good company with his impersonation of Eli Wallach's smarter-than-he-seems rogue from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Byung-hun Lee (The Bad) seems more like Prince in cowboy boots than a western gunman, but he does more to make the role his own than the others. A fine blend of big-budget action and last-generation western ethos, it's just a bit long and the constant winks and nods to The Man With No Name trilogy occasionally wear thin.

Beginthebeguine This is a stunning visual film to watch. The cinematography is exceptional through-out the movie. The framing, the lighting and the colors are outstanding. This alone makes the movie a joy for me to see.The problem with the film is that it lacks depth. The director uses archetypes from the Italian Westerns of the 1960s and 1970s. Some of the dialogue and action is lifted directly from Sergio Leone's "man without a name" opus. Most obviously The Good, The Bad and the Ugly; but also a heavy splattering of the others. The problem is not the reworking of Leone's work, but I do not think the director quite understands how to work subtext into his script. In fact, the director leaves far too much exposition to the end which makes the movie drag at the end of the epic battle scene (I thought this might be a cultural issue, but I do not know if it is).Another thing that bothers me (and here comes my western sensibilities), I know stunts.... and there were horses hurt during the filming of the battle scene. The reason I say this is that I could see trip wires. So for the photography I give this film 6 points out of 10. I also suggest that the director rent some of the Ford Westerns. As good as Leone was Ford was better.
