Morricone KILLS it in "Duck, You Sucker" – But is the movie any good?

Alright soundtrack nerds, Hughes here! So, I finally got around to watching "Duck, You Sucker" (aka "A Fistful of Dynamite") and, man, I was blown away by Morricone's score. The way he blends that folksy melody with the more bombastic, operatic stuff is just *chef's kiss*. Seriously, the scene where they blow up the bridge? The music just elevates it to another level. I even think the main theme is one of his best and most recognizable! But as a *movie* movie... I'm a little less convinced. I loved the dynamic between Rod Steiger as Juan and James Coburn as John (that whole IRA connection was unexpected!), but the pacing felt kinda off. Like, it meanders a bit in the middle. There are moments of awesome, for sure – the flashbacks to John's past are particularly haunting and add a lot of depth. But I'm still on the fence if it all comes together as well as it should. And honestly, is it just me or does Sergio Leone get a little too heavy-handed with the revolutionary themes? So, here's my question for you guys: Am I missing something? Is there a deeper appreciation for "Duck, You Sucker" that I'm not getting? Or is it a case of an amazing soundtrack carrying a flawed film? I'm open to being convinced either way! Also, what are some of your favorite cues from the score? The bridge explosion one is definitely up there for me, but the more melancholic themes are fantastic as well.
