Fair. It'a a classic for the way it introduces greater psychological complexity into the genre but it's not without its faults. Definitely agree about the tacked on nature of the final battle and the love-interest angle always feels like a distraction. I love the tournament scene at the beginning, though, where Stewart wins the rifle, and the one with the gun trader. Plus it's Anthony Mann, so lots of great exterior shots.
