8 + 1 stars (1 ontop for one of the best scores of all time)
As the title implies, there are three main characters. One of them is BAD (aka Angel Eyes), which is an understatement due to his cruel behavior. He should better be called WORSE.
Then we have a sleazy villain who introduces himself as Tuco (UGLY). Please note that Tuco is pronounced Tooco not Tucco. He isn't very smart, but like the BAD is he good at shooting of all kinds of westerners. The UGLY is well versed in slipping into a dead man's uniform without showing telltale bloodstains on the fabric. And that thing you can call a task. Especially when the selection of too-short-but-stout Southerners is manageable.
And we have a handsome "business founder" (GOOD, aka Blondie), played by Dirty Harry (sorry for the joke). This man doesn't have it quite as tough. He is a marksman who shoots that all the ends of any ropes meet and meet and meet. But at times with ulterior motives. Why he is not on a "Most Wanted" list remains an unsolvable mystery.
I'd say the story unfolds a little bit too randomly. Nonetheless the "el desenlace final" and the score are absolutely stunning. Especially the score! Ennio Morricone's masterpiece will stand the test of time for sure.
PS: Does it only look like that? Or is it always the same black horse carrying around all kinds of heavy stuff all the time? Holy crap, the poor animal!
