Review of My Name Is Nobody

Apart from the work of Sergio Leone, I don't particularly care for Westerns. They're just not my glass of water(I don't drink tea). This is the story of a man who could become a legend, and a young man who wants him to be... "people need someone to believe in", he says. Some scenes are good, and the major showdown that is hinted at, described in words, throughout the film, is quite impressive(and if nothing else, a good planning job). The music varies, some of it is good. I didn't like the bastardized Ride of the Valkyries...and yes, I did know that that was the piece that was used for inspiration in composing, before reading the Trivia page... and reading said page reveals that Morricone intentionally spoofed his earlier work(his scores from the Man With No Name series, the Dollars Trilogy, no less). The acting has its moments, Fonda is good. The editing is good at points, as well. It's well shot. I suppose fans of Westerns will enjoy it. As best as I can tell, this is spaghetti-Western. The point to the story Hill's character tells is also good. I recommend this to fans of Westerns and/or the people involved in making it. 7/10
