Summary: Don`t miss it-in spite of what the film critics say
Review: This film has been critizised for a lot of things-for instance,for being too long,but the truth is that it`s worth every minute of your time.It`s a treat to be able to get to know people and places of the West this way.Some say there is too little action in this film,and perhaps it`s true that it relies more heavily on character portrayal and the description of relationships than on action,but there is plenty of excitement all the same,and it`s so well-made that you are being pulled into the story and made part of it-actually,it`s hard to breathe out until it`s over!
A fantastic film!

Summary: Brilliance in a Genre Unknown
Review: This production surpasses any greatness achieved in the Western genre. Costner grips tightly the reins of the pale horse which belongs to the pale rider. Not since Eastwood has there been a finer portrayal of life on the vast frontier. As viewers watch this motion picture, a stampede of wild Stallions glide briskly through his or her imagination.

Summary: Second best movie of Kevin Costner
Review: This movie of Kevin Costner, like most of his movies, are underrated. It really is a shame because it was released later then Tombstone and those two movies were compared. Tombstone was in my eyes a comical version of the Wyatt Earp sage and the movie from Kevin Costner was more a biography.
Kevin Costner, Dennis Quaid and all the others made such a big effort to the filmgoers to show us how it was in those days and when you watched it it was really like we were back in the cowboy time. I'm a very big Kevin Costner fan and this is movie is number two on the top 10 best movies ever made.
I hope the new western movie from Kevin Costner will be just as good.

Summary: Awesome!!!!!
Review: I commend Kevin Kostner for his intensive research prior to making this film. His attention to detail was incredible. This film was both, as historically acurate as I could ever imagine, and highly entertaining. Something Hollywood rarely achieves. Great cast!! Great costume design!! Awesome film!!!! Get it out on DVD soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: Dramatic and Entertaining
Review: Historical inaccuracies aside, this movie was the best I've seen in a long while. Kevin Costner was even colder than usual (as in "For the Love of the Game"), an expressionless look on his face for much of the movie, but anything else would not have done justice to the character. The supporting cast was unremarkable, but Dennis Quaid as Doc Holliday was incredible...in my opinion, he stole the show and deserved much more screen time. While many of the Earp brothers (excluding Wyatt, of course) were faceless and often difficult if not impossible to tell apart, Quaid captured Doc Holliday's character in every action--speaking, riding, making one of those cynical and hilarious one-liners (Like when Wyatt confides in Doc that he is his closest friend, and Holliday replies, after a long silence, "Shut up," or when he comments that Wyatt wants to be a lawman and an outlaw, getting "the best of both worlds."). It took me a considerable amount of time, at least an hour, to finally believe the video case and conclude that Doc Holliday was in fact played by Dennis Quaid. How did that large, handsome, all-american actor from "Frequency" manage to pull off a skinny, dying man? And that voice...I loved the voice of Doc Holliday, and would rewind the tape sometimes to listen again. Rich and deep, it was the only thing that ultimatly conviced me that Holliday was played by Quaid.
Undoubtably a movie worth seeing, even more than once, I recommend Wyatt Earp to anyone.

Summary: A TAD BIT FLAWED!
Review: Upon seeing "Wyatt Earp," one may get the feeling that something is missing. Although I found it to be one of the best western films made in the past ten years, in no way was it able to match up with "Tombstone," my all-time favorite western. The historical aspects of Wyatt Earp's life take a back-seat to an over-dramatized epic. Doc Holliday, who was played to perfection by Val Kilmer in "Tombstone," is played rather stiffly and dull by Dennis Quaid, who has turned in better performances than this (think "Frequency"). Costner's Earp is too drab, falling not only short of his acting potential ("Thirteen Days"), but he also cannot seem to go one-on-one with Kurt Russell's Earp from "Tombstone" (which told the same story without over-playing it). The biggest drab of the movie is the OK Corrall sequence, which takes up only thirty seconds of screen-time, and is not dramatic (Lawerence Kasdan fails to capture the essence of it the way George P. Costamos did for "Tombstone"). Overall, a pretty good film. But if you want to see a good film about Wyatt Earp and the OK Corrall, think "Tombstone." Grade: B

Summary: superb and flawless effort
Review: I honestly do not know why so many critics panned this movie. It is a comprehensive, well-paced and exceptioanally well done story of a great American who provided law and order when there was none. Costner's performance as Wyatt is subdued but very effective, communicating the quiet resolve and intensity of the man while Dennis Quaid's Doc Holliday is perfection, equalling Val Kilmer's outstanding performance in Tombstone. The photography is deep and earthy, evoking the loneliness and gritty realism of frontier town inhabitants after the Civil War. If you love the old west and the courage and fortitude of those that had the guts to tame it, you will love this movie.

Summary: Tombstone is Hollywood. . . Wyatt Earp is history!
Review: When I saw Tombstone, I loved it. I really didn't know much, if anything, about Wyatt Earp but Tombstone really caught my interest. Then I saw Wyatt Earp with Costner. Well, I was sorely disappointed. I loved Val Kilmer as Doc. I decided to watch Wyatt a second time (I NEVER watch a movie a second time . . . except for The Matrix) I really started to understand the wonderful difference between the two movies. Delany as Josie became pathetic. Quaid as Doc was more than just "one liners." The entire atmosphere of the movie was so much more believable. I fell in love with this movie and realized Tombstone was merely "Hollywood" at its best . . . and very good at that
My advise. Don't make a comparison, appreciate the difference!
