On my top 10
Amazing movie, amazing plot, amazing acting. Nothing else needed to make it better. And let’s not forget about the Buetiful soundtrack by Enio Morricone.

A little bit more violent than described
Extremely well talented cast and director. Common sense media rated the violence at 3 stars which is a good rating star wise, but the description could use a bit more description. For instance, the knife flinging scene is really done with a machete, and it shows the machete going in one way and coming out the other, with blood. It's not focused on for a long time, but still there. Also, two men are crushed with a giant barrel, and their blood is seen on the wall behind them. Their faces are also covered in blood. The torture scenes aren't that bad, except lots of punches and kicks to ribs, and also a cigar burn to the hand, which another man steps on and runs the heel of his boot into. The gunfights aren't very violent, except the last one shows blood coming out of mouth, and the second to last one is a massacre in which men surrender but are gunned down anyway, and some catch on fire. Overall, I don't realistically see any 11 year old even sitting through this movie, because a lot of it is talking and they might find it boring. But if they could, I don't think they would be messed up too badly, but I would wait till 13 maybe. I watched it at 15 and loved it. The good the bad and the ugly is probably my favorite of the dollars trilogy

Pretty tame movie that should interest kids that like westerns
A fistful of dollars, a true classic in the western genre. So, let’s start with the review.
Violence: Pretty tame. There is a machete throwing scene with blood, but it’s not that bad.
Language: Pretty tame aswell. I’m pretty sure there is one scene where the main character (he doesn’t have a name) calls someone a son of a gun (except it wasn’t quite “gun”) but over all it’s pretty tame.
Drugs/tobacco: Hardly any. There are some beer bottles in the local bar and the main character smoking his iconic cigar.
Role models: The main character himself! Near the ending of the movie he saves a family from a gang after hearing a child cry out to see his mother.
Overall pretty tame. The movie is great so if your kid can handle blood then I’d recommend giving it a go!

Aim for the heart, ramone
i love this film. its a great western action guns go bang film. it doesn't even have swear words, the violence is moderate. there is one scene where clint eastwood gets beaten up so be weary of that scene if you don't like seeing people get hurt, but he gets back up. some days i want to be the man with no name, wondering around the western americas gun in my hand claiming new land. i give it an A

Start to the Best Trilogy of All Time
This started my favorite trilogy ever. The Dollars trilogy. All 3 films are 5. Anyway this one has violence but it's not too intense. It's basically the same as superhero cartoons with violence only its live action so it's a little more intense. There is a kid at the beginning who is tortured. Man With No Name (Eastwood) has a cigar in his mouth basically at all times.

Great movie
This movie is similar to Open Range with Kevin Costner, but not as disturbing. There is one scene the high lights the coldness and hate of the bad guys. There is drinking and smoking

This movie could be PG-13 not R
Great western/cowboy movie, contains lots of shooting and violence.
