Apparently, you can't rate a movie zero stars. In light of this film, Amazon should reconsider that policy.
In my nearly-50 years, I have watched tens of thousands of movies. And yet I can't think of one that stunk as badly as this picture. The makers of this film try to pass off as "artsy" a film that has no plot, asinine dialogue, thoroughly detestable characters and an unredeemed attraction to gore and ugliness. Val Kilmer should be shot for real for lending his name and photo to this picture. Comparisons to Eastwood's spaghetti westerns are ludicrous.
Just poke yourself int the eye. You'll save a dollar and have essentially the same experience.

Val Kilmer plays the dead man: the bounty on the wrong man
is to be paid for a drunken Sheriff and a bar maid, his Civil war bride.
All sorrow and blood for bounty.
A very black western that comes just short of an horror movie.
More blood and severed heads than I would ever like to see
again. We have no sympathy left for anyone by the happy ending.

2 hours of watching a corpse that's all that Kilmer does in this entire movie is lay on the ground. He doesn't utter one word through the whole movie..But, they got to put his name and face on the cover so it would sell my dog could have played this part just as well probably for a lot less money.

Sheesh! I am so glad I stumbled into this artistically-done western. Until seeing Dead Man's Bounty, I admired The Good, Bad, and Ugly as the most artistic film in the genre. Dead Man's Bounty exceeded my expectations, particularly in the stylistic camera work and editing - notable in the character's viewpoints. I found myself captivated by the story without even being able to understand all of what was being said; it literally made me think of those old cowboys with broken ear drums from all that gunfire.

As a final note, I thought it would never get any more repulsively great than Clint Eastwood as Josey Wales spitting a big, black tobacco loogie on another guy's boot. Dead Man's Bounty raises the bar with a scene in which a cowboy draws a naked lady in the sand with his urine.

I will keep it short: They likened this to the "Good, the bad and the ugly". What a deadly way to con viewers. Dead man's bounty is beyond dead, it is totally rotten. Bloody gore without meaning!

Hoo boy. Hardly worth the one star. I had the misfortune of seeing this one in the theater, believe it or not. Luckily, that theater was located in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (and MoMA, I still love ya' - despite your decision to display this flick), and a friend of mine was a museum member. That meant I got in for free, thank goodness - because if I'd paid money for this dreck I'd have been batting down the box-office door and asking for a refund. Now, I know this flick is supposed to be an art piece - an homage to and satire of the Spaghetti Western - but *only* because the museum literature said so. Characters come and go with laughable dialogue and little motivation, while scenes often play out with what seem to be missing transitions.

And oh, yeah - Val Kilmer's in this one too. But like these two final sentences, his presence kinda feels like an afterthought.

This is by far the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life... do I need to say anything more? Val Kilmer must really be desperate for cash!

I love westerns....love Val Kilmer, but can't really recommend this movie unless you like kind of strange, slow moving (not much real action) westerns. Also, the cast seems to be foreign... definitely didn't come across as an American western to me...isn't that what western's are supposed to be?! Anyway, if you have plenty of spare time and absolutely nothing else to do...

lots of blood and lots of wasted time didn't make any sense, I wished I had wasted my time and money on something entertaining.

FIRST OFF DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE AVERAGED 2 STARS.....THIS FILM (ALTHOUGH NOT WORTHY OF THE WORD) GIVES REASON FOR AMAZON TO RE-VISIT THE RATING SCALE THEY USE. THIS FILM DOES NOT EVEN MERIT A SINGLE ARM OF A STAR. IT IS BYYYYYY FAAAAAAAAAAR THE SINGLE WORST WESTERN I'VE SEEN HANDS DOWN AND DEFINITELY IN THE RUNNING FOR WORST MOVIE OF ANNNNNY KIND I'VE EVER SEEN!!!!! GIVING KILMER CREDIT, I BET HE WAS EDITED BACK INTO THE FILM DEMANDING HE BE DEAD THE ENTIRE TIME BECAUSE HE PROBABLY REALIZED WHAT A PIECE OF TRASH IT WAS AFTER IT WAS TOO LATE. FOR PEOPLE TO THINK OF THIS FILM AS "ARTISITC FILMMAKING" IS SO LAUGHABLE. ENOUGH SAID I'VE WASTED 2 MINUTES OF MY LIFE ALREADY ON THIS.
