Pretty cool movie, but over-long, campy with wooden characters

Watch it drunk or high. It’s a religious experience.

You really think 14-year-old kids are the ones voting this classic into the Top 10 films of all time? Here, let me break down the IMDb voter demographics on this one for you real quick:

Total Number of Votes: 728,988
Votes by Users under 18: 329

If you need some help with the math there, let me know.

I disagree with your evaluation. The wooden characters I can't understand. The expressions on the faces of Blondie and Tuco when they are confronted with the war - there's a lot there. They get a lot through saying very little (Blondie) or saying things other than what they mean (Tuco). Tuco constantly runs his mouth, comes off as an impulsive, hedonistic doofus, yet we see him manipulate those gun pieces, carefully plan and scheme, and this is a guy with layers. Blondie says very, very little, but I can tell he's got a lot clicking around.

Campy is, maybe, in the eye of the beholder. Ironically, I see it come up a lot by younger persons to describe older films when they don't like how movies were made in older eras. So you get this "campy" or "cheesy" accusation which actually means, "I don't like the preferred way of writing and delivering dialogue in the '40s, and rather than get into it or try to understand it, I'll just call The Maltese Falcon cheesy." I have to assume that's not you, since you're writing off people who liked this movie as "too young".

I think it deserves its rating and I don't agree with your evaluation.

The last 30 minutes of this, in my opinion, contain some of the best scenes ever placed on film.
