  Give this film a chance

everyone keeps comparing modern day cowboys films to Clint Eastwood ones and some people don't give new cowboy films a chance because of this.
Kevin Costner had a go at Wyatt Earl and was'nt as good as this,Tombstone has good performances from the whole cast and Val Kilmar was extra good.
This is a good hard hitting,gunshooting movie,lots of action and what you expect from a cowboy movie, not some long winded 3 hour epic but everyone has different taste's

  Fantastic

One of the best Westerns i have seen. Not only is Kurt Russel fantastic as Wyatt, Val Kilmer gives an astounding performance as Doc Holiday. No other Wyatt Earp movie comes close to the sheer brilliance of Tombstone.

  Epic western

This film has to be the best western i have had the pleasure to watch. This is Kurt Russell's finest performance as the lead character Wyatt Earp and he is ably supported by a strong cast including Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday who nearly steals the show. Michael Biehn is chilling as a hardened outlaw who is part of the cowboys gang that terrorises the inhabitants of tombstone. The shootout at the OK Corale takes place in the middle of the film and we get to see the rest of the story as Wyatt vows to take the gang down and he is relentless in his pursuit of the remnants. The bond between he and Doc is excellently represented on screen with them both displaying the loyalty and respect you would expect between two close friends. I must admit to not really being a fan of westerns but this film has such a strong script and the characters are so well portrayed that you are gripped and pulled into it from the beginning. It shows the Earps arriving and the events leading to the infamous OK corale shootout as the brothers strive for what is right. As said before the story then follows Wyatt's pursuit of the cowboy gang members. The film progresses at a good pace with enough action and story to satisfy most people. Overall a fine film filled with strong performances from both lead and supporting cast.

  Good film, But

As my title says but, although Play don't mention it in their description the Special Features mention a DVD-Rom feature & The Tombstone Epitaph, these 2 features ARE NOT included . But there is an easter egg(hidden feature)included to soften the blow.

Tombstone is a very well made and very under rated Western about a series of events involving infamous lawman Wyatt Earp and his brothers in the town 'Tombstone'.Kurt Russell delivers his best performance as Earp,Val Kilmer is terriffic as his long time friend Doc Holiday,Michael Biehn is the villainous Johnny Ringo and Bill Paxton plays Earps' brother Morgan.A great western and to prove it,watch it along with Kevin Costners' poor film 'Wyatt Earp' released the following year. :-)

  Tombstone vs Wyatt Earp

| | See all Mingsbeard's reviews (5)

When Kevin Costner and writer Kevin Jarre started work on a Wyatt Earp movie, they simply couldn't agree on how to tell the story of the legendary lawman, so they parted company and went on to make two very different movies. Waytt Eap is so concerned with being bigger and better and more epic than it's competition that it forgets to be entertaining. The film ends up being a heroic failure - but still gets my recommendation for the performances. Tombstone is the least ambitious of the two Earp movies, but it's by far the best. It is a rip-roating adventure with brilliant action scenes and memorable performances ( Val Kilmer surely deserved an oscar for his turn as Doc Holliday) . But it's Kevin Jarre's brilliant script that is the real star. The dialogue is searing, funny, authentic and as quotable as anything Quentin Tarantino has written: "You gonna do something or just stand there and bleed!" This is one of the best westerns ever made. "I'm your Huckleberry!"
