Two bounty hunters with the same intentions team up to track down a Western outlaw. For a Few Dollars More benefits from Eastwood's and Cleef's great perfomances even tho it never reaches the heights of 'Good, The Bad and the Ugly' at no point plus the theme song is pretty damn memorable and the West is being shown in all of it's full glory and in the end it's definitely a movie that fans of both of those actors will enjoy but remember it's nowhere near as great as that previous movie that was just an amazing film but please do check it out. (7.5/10)

just don't know why the good, bad and the ugly is known for the best western when for a few dollars more exists. even if all the 7 milliard people in the world say that the good, bad and the ugly is the best, i will say just the last 10 minutes of for a few dollars more is better than whole the film, the good, bad and the ugly. this is the greatest western film of all time and a great gift from Leone to the cinema. for a few dollars more has the best story in western genre.

For A Few Dollars More (1965)Plot In A Paragraph: Two bounty hunters Monco (Clint Eastwood) and Colonel Douglas Mortimer (Lee Van Cleef) join forces to track the outlaw El Indio who has just broke out of prison.With triple the budget of A Fistful Of Dollars, Leone delivers a movie that is longer, funnier and bloodier than its predecessor. Even the gun play is more outlandish (seeing the end of Clints cigar get shot off amused my son no end) as is the actions set pieces!! Once again Ennino Morricone's score is superb. Lee Gan Cleef is simply as cool as a cucumber, Gina Maria Volonte (Ramon Rojo in A Fist Full Of Dollars) returns and is as reliable as he was first time around and he isn't the only one returning, Benito Stefanelli and Aldo Sambrell return too. As for Clint, he was heading in to the 8th and final season of Rawhide, and he dusts off the very same poncho he wore in the first movie and stakes his claim as a bona fide movie star As much as I love the first one, this one is even better!! And as a side note, the musical theme the watch played, was the first ringtone I ever downloaded!! Grossing $15 million A Few Dollars More was the 12th highest grossing movie and 1965. A fantastic success given its $600,000 budget.

Whilst most people believe that 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' is not only the best instalment of Sergio Leone's 'Dollars' trilogy but one of the greatest Westerns of all time, I've always preferred 'For a Few Dollars More'. One of the reasons for this is the display of talent. Lee Van Cleef and Gian Maria Volontè deliver great performances as Colonel Mortimer and El Indio, respectively. Volontè portrays his character with a level of complexity and expressiveness rarely seen in the Western genre, whilst Van Cleef is given a central part in the film's most memorable and entertaining scenes - the 'match-striking scene', the 'hat-shooting scene', and the inevitable standoff. Clint Eastwood's iconic character is always entertaining to watch, but I think the most meaningful moments in the film come from his reluctant ally (Van Cleef) and his enemy (Volontè). The technical aspects of this film are just as good as those in 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly'. Whilst some of the cinematography and of course the soundtrack in the third film are by far the most memorable, Leone's crew managed to create an appropriate visual and musical atmosphere for this darker, more brooding film. To conclude, I believe that this film draws closer to perfection than its more famous follow-up, using better pacing, excellent technical talent and outstanding performances to cement its place in the history of both the Western and cinema.
