Same here. I loved the trio starring Clint Eastwood, and finally got to see "Once Upon A Time In The West" on the big screen last year.
Huge disappointment. I thought it was a wildly overrated mess.
...and why not? My 10 all time favourites includes films from the UK, Japan, USA and France, and one of them is "The Searchers".
It's an acknowledged classic, whether you like it or not.
