Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
'Once Upon a Time...' now looks like an over-cooked mess of style, metaphor and reference.
Leone (1921-1989) is here at the peak of his epic powers.
If only the first 10 minutes of Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West still existed, this most hyperbolic of oat operas would still be acknowledged as one of the genre's greatest exhumations.
It is mostly fun for the way it cherishes movie styles and attitudes from the past.
