For a Few Dollars More was pretty good

I do agree that the For a Few Dollars More and TGTBTU are better films (masterpieces), but that doesn't mean that Fistfull of Dollars isn't an excellent film itself. Leone eventually reached his peak with Once Upon a Time in the West

But the first of the trilogy, Fistful of Dollars was pathetic.
Hehe, what a childish thing to say.
I just watched this for the first time since probably the early 70s and I really enjoyed it much more than I thought I would.
I watched The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly a few days ago and liked it so much I felt I had to see the rest of the trilogy. I'm not disappointed so far.
Gonna watch all Clints early westernsit's been so many years, it's great to revisit them.

With each movie, the level of comedy goes up with GB&U being downright camp. Really, it's a mismatched buddy film. Fistful was the most brutal, especially with the slaughter scene of the entire Baxter camp. I think the overall story in Few Dollars More is better, but spending more money on GB&U to make it the biggest production of the three does not make it the best film of the three. Few Dollars More has a good balance between the humor and dramatic intensity and money spent. Then I would rank Fistful second. But I will watch either of the first two at any given time and save GB&U for the rare viewing.

Indeed the 'A Fistfull of Dollars' is the worst, but not bad by a long shot, 'For a Few Dollars More' is my personaly favourite out of the 3,

It is the worst of the trilogy (despite my username), but it's still an all-time classic. It's probably the most purely enjoyable film of the 3. The other two are better movies and overall more rewarding experiences but you have to be in the right mood and they require some patience. This one you can throw in anytime.
