The Beginning of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

I thought the first scene of the movie was pretty boring. I didn't like how they stared at each other for so long but I guess that is a typical western movie. My first impression of Clint Eastwood was that I thought he was going to be one of the bad guys because he was saving this bad guy over and over again to split money between them. However, he lets him go 70 miles into the desert and leaves him to die, and he is characterized as the good guy. When I saw that the bad guy lived, I'm pretty sure he is going to want revenge with Clint Eastwood for what he did. I'm intrigued to find out what happens next.
