Review: Second only to "Silverado". One of the best westerns ever put on film.

Summary: I'm a history buff, so I hated this movie
Review: The popularity of this movie continues to astound me. As much as I dislike Kevin Costner, his "Wyatt Earp", while still not perfect, is altogether a more historically accurate portrayal of the real events depicted in the film. There are just some films that take themselves so seriously while totally mangling any chance of believability, they leave me alternating between laughing out loud and wanting to throw thing through the screen. This is one, "Armageddon" is another.OTOH, if you liked westerns in the 50's where nothing was even remotely realistic, this might be your cup of tea. All style, no substance...

Summary: Tombstone
Review: Well......here it is April of 2004...and I cannot believe that as much as I like westerns...that I am just now seeing Tombstone! (The one made with Kurt Russell and many more big names!) I have most of John Wayne's best westerns, Clint Eastwood's...and I thought "Palerider", was possibly the best western for years....and of course...John Wayne in El Dorado! However, Tombstone is Fantastic!! It just seems really so very real and the movie is very interesting in so many ways,..including the fact that it is set around a true story and gives you a bit of what actually happened to the main characters in their real lives...(at the end of the movie).
It was just really great...and since I bought it about a week ago...I have watched it 5 times and am ready to watch it again!
You are missing something if you don't take the time to watch this one, if you are a fan of westerns!! My wife went on-line and put in ("Wyatt Earp"), and up came several of the fine points of the real lives of the characters in this movie, including the fact that Wyatt Earp lived until 1929 and Josephine lived until 1944!! I guess that just makes the movie seem so much more realistic!! You cannot help but enjoy this movie if you are a true fan of westerns!!

Summary: The Number One Western Ever Made!
Review: Tombstone is without a doubt the best Western ever made. Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer give the perfomance of their lives. This is a film that delivers everything a movie should: action, drama, more action, intrigue, more action, stunning visuals, more action...you get the point. Val Kilmer plays Doc Holliday better than the original Doc. Holliday, I bet. In fact, the whole cast did an amazing job of rising to the same level - near perfection. I don't see how any Western could top this one. The only drawback to this movie is the fact that the entire cast can never top what they did in this masterpiece, NEVER! Ya hear me? I said NEVER! I am going to see what other movies George P. Cosmatos has directed, so I can see if the rest of his work is as good. If you haven't seen Tombstone, you're really missing out - push that buy button and enjoy. Peace-out! www.theruninggirl.com

Summary: Directors cut/The better cut
Review: Okay, for one, this is my favorite movie. For two the director's cut gives you the coolest deleted scenes and angles. I can not tell you everything but it is fantastic. By the way some people like to know how the inside looks. It is awsome! Very well done and it will always be at the top of my collection.

Summary: The best of the Wyatt Earp movies.
Review: This is a fun movie to watch. Much more so than Kevin Costner's morose offering, although Costner more accurately caught the taciturn personality of the real Wyatt Earp and Dennis Quaid gave an Oscar quality portrayal of Doc Holliday. Also, in Tombstone Bill Paxton portrays Morgan Earp as rather timid. Morgan was actually the most impetuous and combative of the Earp brothers. Both movies have terrible final scenes. Still, I would class this movie with a movie like Silverado, a great western that can be enjoyed over and over.
One final note, in the dozen or so reviews I've read on this site comparing Earp movies no one has mentioned Hour of the Gun with James Garner.

Summary: Thanks Val Kilmer.
Review: Now every Hollywood actor has a film where people look back and say "this is them at the top of there game." Well this is Val Kilmers movie. I struggled through the movie Wyatt Earp. And i dont think im alone when i say that Tombstone blows the Kevin Costner version out of the water. Its full of action, drama, and at times very funny. Just an all around great movie.

Summary: Val Kilmer - Genius!!!!!
Review: Aside from Clint Eastwood's "Unforgiven" & " Outlaw Josey Wales", this is the best western (and certainly the most authentic, as they used actual antique guns, saddles,etc). Val kilmer gives a performance that ranks with peter O'Toole and Richard Burton. Just buy it! I own one of Val's pistols and knife from the film, acquired from the company owner who supplied it ( and also played Texas Jack Vermilion ((Peter Sherayko)). If i can spend THAT MUCH CASH, you can drop a $20 bill for a treasure. And stop reading all these "critics". The film is historically acurate save the shortening of time between events. Self proclaimed Earp experts insist that Doc could not have killed Ringo , as Doc was in another state. I saw, in earp's own hand (in a letter to a friend), that false papers were made to make people think doc was somewhere else. doc killed ringo, then turned ringo's gun belt upside down......typical holliday humor. Enough history. Enjoy the film and be prepared for kilmer to blow you away!

Summary: TOMBSTONE
Review: I rented this movie, then taped it off of tv, then bought the VHS, then bought a DVD player and this DVD and I would do it all again. First just let me say that I have shown this movie to six different people and they have all bought it. Many people may not like this because there are many scenes that seem inacurate, but many things in this movie that seem completaly ficticious, like Curly Bill shooting at Wyatt Earp three times and missing are acutally true, and things that seem real, like Virgil Earp and Morgan Earp being shot on the same night, are actually false (I forget the actual time frame, but there shootings were atleast 5 months apart). Despite these things, it was impossible for me not to love the movie and especially Val Kilmer's character (Doc Holiday). The movie "Wyatt Earp" (Kevin Costner) shows his whole life, and I am one of those people that get bored with most stories very fast. "Tombstone" spans just the short two years Wyatt Earp lived in Tombstone, Arizona, though the movie almost seems like the whole story takes place in only a few weeks. Anyway, this is a great movie (my favorite)and is filled with likable charactors, #1 ofcourse is the almost un-intentially comedic Doc Holiday. This DVD has some deleted scenes included that were not in the VHS or regular DVD, which do help to bridge the story, like what happens to Doc's mistriss Kate.

Summary: Just like ony old western, except...
Review: Tombstone is about the Immortal Wyatt Earp and his brothers in a town called Tombstone where they came to make a new living but took up the side of the law again to fight evil cowboys. There are running horses, saloonfights and a lot of gunbattles, so nothing new there. And a little romance of course. Even the titles in the end scene are western like What makes this movie stand out a little about the others is the acting performance of Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. His accent is perfect and he plays a dying man very convincingly. This is the only reason you should really see it.
