"Folks that throw dirt on you aren't always trying to hurt you, and folks that pull you out of a jam aren't always trying to help you. But the main point is when you're up to your nose in shit, keep your mouth shut."

I can see why other people like this film a lot and it does have some good moments, but I would say it is mediocre at best. Henry Fonda is pretty decent, as always, but there are other things which I found didn't hold up their end of the bargain. For starters the score becomes irritating very quickly... here i am referring to the whistling score whenever "nobody" is on the screen. It completely removes any tension the film has built up in one fell swoop. On top of that I am not that impressed with Terence Hill. It is already obvious here that he has some comedic talent, but his portrayal of Nobody is too slapstick. This could have been such a great film and instead it is almost a spoof of itself.

When your movie opens with Henry Fonda forcing a man to shave him at gunpoint, there’s really nowhere to go but down. This one manages to remain pretty cool throughout, give or take Terence Hill’s incongruous slapstickery.

I dint really mind Sergio Leone's silly attempt at humor. It adds a strangeness and craziness to the title character even if it's not funny. The funniest thing about this movie though are the ridiculous bits of Morricine's score. The non silly parts if that score are really great and emotional.

Henry Fonda is a joy to watch and even here in his last western is the only Fonda worth a damn. Terrance Hill, is just goofy and psychotic!

This movie is a bit different from the more well known spaghetti westerns and I appreciate that.

Such a silly fun western. The whole movie has a levity to it that feels like it was intended for children. The music ranges from beautiful to ludicrous. Alot of fun.

O filme não é perfeito. A combinação de slapstick com a narrativa western tradicional às vezes não encaixa bem, os motivos do Nobody nunca são suficiente claros, o Henry Fonda passa o tempo todo em despedida nostálgica e o final é apressado (e tolo) seguido de uma longa despedida (talvez demasiado longa) em voz off. Mas foi o primeiro spaghetti que vi em Bluray e tive aquela sensação que tinha quando os via nos cinemas (de praia, no verão). Aqueles tipos sabiam filmar. As cores são quentes e ricas, a expressões faciais dos personagens são ricas e bem iluminadas, o aproveitamento dos espaços exteriores é superior, o trabalho de câmara é criativo, a acção é desenfreada, a cinematografia é gloriosa e as bandas sonoras são sobejamente reconhecidas como “as melhores”. E que o digam os Metallica e o Tarantino.

Leone directed this, Leone directed that... Doesn't matter really. It's a fun ride and a kiss off to the genre. If like me you grew up watching Hill/Spencer flicks this one is great as Henry Fonda (in his last Western) plays the straight man perfectly.
Oft considered a "circus" western I think it stands up as one of the last really good Spaghetti's.

Mixed feelings on this one, as it is well-made and I appreciate the themes about legends and change, I only wish the dopey comedy angle had been played down or eliminated entirely.

A whole movie to make a pun?... Eh, it happens. I dunno if it's just my version, but the sound effects are absolutely horrible. The guys responsible should be sacked... And dumped in the harbor.
