I am a astronomical fan of Leone’s work, especially his Westerns. The Marvelous, the Unpleasant and the Plain is a incredible entry in his oeuvre (though I tainted Once Upon A Time in the West and For A Few Dollars More objective above it) . It is chunky of his grand style, it’s very challenging, and it features one of the best adversarial trios ever establish to film in Blondie, Tuco, and Angel Eyes.

So it is with sadness that I have to rate this Blu-Ray 3 stars (and it’s closer to 2.5) . I’ve bought this movie three times now, not counting this Blu-Ray: on VHS, the first single disc DVD, and the SE that came out a few years ago. It should be distinct that I treasure this movie. When the Blu-Ray was announced, I was gratified. High definition Leone? Label me up! I pre-ordered it along with the fresh T2 disc. Then I started reading early reviews that said the represent quality wasn’t up to snuff. I was disheartened, and decided to abolish my order until I could check out the disc for myself.
I rented it from Netflix, and have unfortunately found my fears confirmed. While it certainly looks better than the SE DVD, it is not the best this movie can spy. The over-zealous Digital Noise Reduction that has been applied completely robs many scenes of the beautiful detail we might otherwise have seen in 1080p. I set aside the stale SE DVD in my Xbox and flipped aid and forth between the Blu-Ray and DVD on a single scene (Blondie stands alone against some hills in the background in the final scene) . While the Blu-Ray looked “cleaner” (that is, the digital artifacting visible on the DVD was gone), there was actually no further detail to be seen on the Blu-Ray! It was as if you took the DVD image and smeared it until the noise was gone, then bumped it up to 1080. I looked specifically at Blondie’s eyes to seek if any more detail was visible on the Blu-Ray, but there wasn’t. The bushes on the hill in the background, too, looked like sharpened up-scaled blobs rather than bushes captured on film by a camera.

So, the relate quality isn’t as qualified, but how about the rest? Well, it’s mostly titanic! The extras, carried over from the SE, are all smooth gripping, and the unique commentaries (which I haven’t listened to yet) are very welcome and appreciated. The unique menus are also nice. But I do have one more negative point: the sound.
If you glance the special feature on restoring the movie, the producer notes that in order to build a 5.1 audio track, he had to add sound effects. While I’m obvious some enjoy having a 5.1 track, the sound effects (specifically the gun-shots) sound device off from the novel novel and integral Leone effects. They consume the true same stock gun-shot that you’ve heard on TV cop shows and it really detracts from the movie if you’ve seen the fresh as many times as I have. The Blu-Ray includes many audio options, but unfortunately, an new mono track is not among them. It did have an English 2.0 mono, but it’s composed the remastered sound with the lame gun-shot effects, oddly. To hear the contrast, assume a scene (like Tuco in the bath), and switch succor and forth between the English 5.1 or 2.0 and the Italian 2.0. It’s very sure and really bugs me. So if I want to hear the recent sound effects, I have to discover it in Italian? Arrive on, MGM/Fox, how hard would it have been to include the New 2.0 Mono track?
So, in conclusion, you have a vast movie on Blu-Ray with lackluster record and no new English soundtrack, but a plethora of immense extras, all on a single disc. Worth it? Not for me, but it may be for you. I’m holding out hope that one day MGM/Fox will find a gracious transfer that isn’t overly digitally tampered with (Leone should have some GRAIN, man! Check out the Italian BR releases!), and includes the novel mono sound in English. Until then, I’m going to have to recall the feeble 1-disc DVD release conventional to savor this mountainous movie.
Don’t miss Christopher Frayling’s terrific commentary which is packed with production information and incisive observations. Particularly touching is the draw Frayling takes up for Leone’s decision to humanize Tuco, pointing out that this movie, far from a straight shoot-em-up, shows Leone coming of age. (This fragment of the commentary is during the huge scene where Tuco meets his brother.) Frayling makes a few errors that are a bit surprising… Eastwood says “clear” rather than “pshaw” in a key exchange that Frayling gets depraved, and Frayling claims that Lee Van Cleef does not have portion of his finger missing, a point definitively refuted by scenes in FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE… but his fancy for this movie comes through resoundingly. This is one of the best commentaries I’ve heard. And the transfer, despite whatever DNR was applied, looks very detailed, film-like, and graceful. Prefer it from somebody who has seen the movie over a hundred times… this Blu-ray is worth getting!
