In a retrospective review of the Dollars Trilogy, Paul Martinovic of Den of Geek said, "For A Few Dollars More is often overlooked in the trilogy, awkwardly sandwiched between both the original film and the best-known, but it's a stunning film in its own right."[30] Paolo Sardinas of MovieWeb said, "Eastwood gives it his all and turns in another iconic performance along with scene stealer Lee Van Cleef, who helps make For a Few Dollars More twice as good as its predecessor."[31] Film historian Richard Schickel, in his biography of Clint Eastwood, believed that this was the best film in the trilogy, arguing that it was "more elegant and complex than A Fistful of Dollars and more tense and compressed than The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Director Alex Cox considered the church scene to be one of "the most horrible deaths" of any Western, describing Volonté's Indio as the "most diabolical Western villain of all time".[32]

-
BONUS MOVIE: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ukuap WARNING I didn't post this individually because the stream messes up and starts "buffering" at 2 hours and 55 minutes (just at the end) which is a nuisance. Of course you want to see the end of the movie, so here's a video clip that is ONLY the end of that movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0-rb4QQlp0
Eh... GBU benefits from Eli Wallach (Tuco) being a NYC native, while in FaFDM Gian Maria Volonté (El Indio) was a non-native Engish speaker and so was whoever did his dub. But in GBU if you listen to the Confederate officer at the camp when Angel Eyes visits, and the Union officer when he tells Tuco and Blondie about the bridge, their dubs aren't that great. Still, the poor dub quality is part of the charm of these movies!
Incidentally, I've read that the Italian dub actor for Eastwood in these movies sounds really villanous, I need to check it out sometime...
