for a few dollars more
For a Few Dollars More is the sequel to A Fistful of Dollars in what is known as the Dollar trilogy. However, you can watch the movie as a standalone feature as the only thing that connects this film with Fistful of Dollars is that the main character is played by Clint Eastwood and wears the same clothing. This is due to the fact that The Man with No Name is a stock character just like most characters in the genre. Unlike the previous film, this film is not a remake to another film although Yojimbo did have its own sequel name Sanjuro, which I have not seen. The plot is essentially two bounty hunters teaming up to bring the same guy to justice. Just like the last film, The music and cinematography is fantastic. The main villain of the film is played by the exact same person who played the villain role in the previous movie. The name of the actor is Gian Maria Volont'e. Unlike the previous film, the main villain is fleshed out with a backstory. Lee Van Cleef plays the rival bounty hunter in the role that revived his acting career and shooting him into a western star. However, I do have problems with this film. I think the film is drawn out a little longer than necessary. Unlike the next film, This film does not have enough content to justify its long length. While I do criticize the pacing, the film is still worthy of a watch. I give the film an eight out of ten.
