The Man With No Name Trilogy (Remastered Edition) [Blu-ray]

Awesome packaging...the movies look incredible completely worth it...a MUST for Clint Eastwood fans

It's westerns, It's Clint Eastwood, It's great!

These three movies by Sergio Leone were the start of the "Spaghetti Western" genre. All three are great movies but “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” is in a league of its own.If you want to see another GREAT movie by Sergio Leone, then watch “Once Upon a Time in the West”. It is a long movie (165 min) with a well-known cast.If you want to see a young Lee Van Cleef, then watch the 1953 movie “The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms”. He plays the solider that shoots and kills the monster at the end.

I've owned a much earlier version of The Man With No Name Trilogy on DVD widescreen since the early 2000's. I loved all three and I've watched them many times to say the least. I purchased the Blu-ray version for my Step Father but as it turned out he wanted a Roku badly so I purchased a Roku for him and kept the Blu-ray version of The Man With No Name Trilogy (I also gave him my original The Man With No Name Trilogy on DVD as they were in excellent condition and his Clint Eastwood collection was beyond pathetic considering he shares the same liking as I for movies including spaghetti westerns.)When I made the purchase I had glanced over a review saying something about improvements made to sound but I didn't give it much thought and just assumed the Blu-ray version couldn't be improved much over the DVDs I had once owned. I finally got around to watching the Blu-ray versions of Fistful of Dollars and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. I don't know if it's because I now have a 7.1 theater, the Blu-ray sound was dramatically improved, or both, but the Blu-ray versions of these classics are phenomenal. Not only are there massively noticeable improvements to the sound, but the Blu-ray version of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly includes all of the cut scenes not on the television and DVD version I owned (ie. the first of which is a 5 minute scene after Tuco robs the gun merchant and is preparing a chicken and potatoes in a cave.) Some people many not care much about this but the Blu-ray menus I think are very nicely done, not cheaply done as I've seen many other DVDs do with old movies. Next time around I watch the movies with the added narration track.5 stars for sure.

Collects three of the best Eastwood spaghetti westerns. These made him a star.

MWNN Trilogy. 20th Century Fox Home Video release.This trilogy is a classic. I have seen many times and never get tired of watching it. The acting, directing, soundtrack and storyline are all 5 star! The price was very good.However, here is my technical review:I have all three titles on DVD but wanted to have higher quality Blu-ray.Although stated as a 2014 remastered release, TGTBTU has a 2014 date, so that may be so. However, the other two (FFD and FFDM) both have a 2010 date. None of the titles appear to be remastered to full Blu-ray quality, but quality varies. The DTS-HD 5.1 audio is very good. However, the video quality varies as follows:1. FFD - This title seems to be nothing more that a transfer from DVD to Blu-ray, and in comparing to the DVD version, I was not able to discern any difference in video quality. Doesn't appear to be remastered.2.FFDM - This title is slightly better than DVD quality. Doesn't seem to be remastered. However, it appears some attempt was made to sharpen the video, which appears slightly better than the DVD. However, this sharpening introduces some graininess and video "noise" to the move. Still very watchable, but not true Blu-ray quality.3. TGTBTU - This title has a newer production date than the previous two (both 2010). It is slightly sharper than the DVD, but without the graininess. Close-up and nearby shots are good but background is no better than DVD quality, especially on open range and distant shots.With that said, the cost of this trilogy was very good. However, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. If you are not expecting true Blu-ray quality, you won't be disappointed. I suppose truly remastered version might be available on the market, but likely at a higher cost.In summary, I give the content a strong 5 stars. Video quality, 3 stars at best. Does not appear to be remastered from the source, or if they were, not the best remastering I have seen.

I never thought I would see these films in as incredible detail as with these bly-rays played on my 4K TV! BREATHTAKING! And in surround sound! This is the way these films were meant to be viewed. And EXTRAS!!! Wow! REAL extras! Did you know that A Fistful of Dollars was played in Europe 2 full years before being released in America? I didn't either! Learned this and many other facts with this set! An absolute MUST-HAVE set for the Clint Eastwood fan in your life!

I bought these for my 25 year-old son for Christmas. We watched them together, and he was incredibly enthusiastic about all three movies. The second one, For a Few Dollars More, is our favorite, as we felt it best expressed the idea of morality in an immoral society. Eastwood is wonderful, and the supporting cast was good as well.The movies are definitely violent, and they are not the "white hat, black hat" type of Western of an earlier age, but neither is Eastwood's "anti-hero" anything like the more recent forays like Django Unchained.
