The movie that I'm going to review is one of Clint Eastwood's early films, A Fistful of Dollars, directed by the amazing Sergio Leone and part of the "Man With No Name" trilogy. First off, I just have to say that I am fairly new to the spaghetti western genre, but I do have some background knowledge and have watched and own Yojimbo, so I know the original. Alright, so to the review, after watching Yojimbo a week before watching this movie, I could hardly believe it, A Fistful of Dollars is an almost exact remake from Yojimbo with some minor adjustments. Although it's like watching the same exact movie, this flowed a lot better and also was a little more exciting. All and all, was a great watch and was only 100 minutes long, if you are wanting to get into the western genre, I would recommend this because its always good to get some history of the genre and also watch some classic Eastwood, although this is not as exciting as others, check it out for yourself. I know this isn't a film critic review, but it's just a start, check out my blog later for a review of the next two films in this trilogy, thanks!
