That film plays excellently with atmosphere in general. The opening is a very long silent credit sequence where some bandits are just sitting at a train station waiting for the train and it is somehow great.
The one thing I don't like is the main female character's treatment...
I love how Leone used his music atmospherically. Man With a Harmonica in Once Upon a Time in the Old West has its motifs repeatedly play like Ecstasy of Gold in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Then when it all came together as a full composition in the final duel, it made both films more emotionally powerful than any other action/western film I've watched.
