There are such great scenes here, incredibly imaginative, that I just can't rate it lower, but still, it's a weird movie that I was apprehensive about. My fears were well-founded. It's just such a strange film, such a strange western, but it has its own logic and great ideas. I'll have to watch it again sometime in the future because this is a film that deserves more viewings.
