Absolutely terrible! Anyone who has read the Oakley Hall novel "Warlock" or has seen the Edward Dmytryk movie, (also titled Warlock), with Fonda as Blaisdell/Earp would agree. And in light of more n more "mass shootings," and all the…

I was reminded of this film when reading a recent interview with Kurt Russell in a Cowboys and Indians magazine newsletter. Despite the challenges of having to replace the director and changes to the script because of run time and budget,…

An okay film, but I'm not sure why so many people gush over this. Kurt Russell as Wyatt is so dramatic that it's to the point of cheese. Val Kilmer was brilliant as Doc Holliday, though, and stole the show in practically every scene he was…
This is my favorite movie of all time but I admit it is not the movie that was supposed to be made. The excellent writer Kevin Jarre also started out as the director but it was his first attempt at directing. He was taking too long and…

Perfectly OK late-period oater, but its cult following is rather inexplicable.
Yes, it's considerably less pretentious and vastly more entertaining than Lawrence Kasdan's three-hours-and-change dirge "Wyatt Earp" that followed it by six…

This is one of my favorite movies. It’s a fairly straightforward goodguys vs. badguys western, but the film is just stuffed full of terrific character moments from its splendid cast. This includes Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Bill Paxton, and…
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but a couple of the ludicrously scathing reviews below suggest it is possible to have tin eyes and sensibilities as well as tin ears. I have watched hundreds of Westerns and am a big fan of the…

Something of a jumble, I'm afraid. You're sure to find something to like, just don't expect consistency. It gives the impression of being rushed so as to get it onto the screen before its "Wyatt Earp" competition.
It's both too long…

This is a great Western movie in my opinion .Maybe if your into older spaghetti westerns or over the age of 50 you might not enjoy it much I guess ...but I find it very credible as far as movies considering its probably the only one that…

Ridiculous. I agree with user Punnoval below. The high rating here and on IMDB reflect users both easily impressed and uncritical, or perhaps haven't been exposed to much better. But unlike the Leone westerns, the Deadwood series, and the…

After the movies of Sergio Leone, one would think that the sensibilities of Westerns would have changed forever. Not True!
A revisionist remake of the Gunfight at the OK Corral was needed. Unfortunately, this one is not it.
What would…

There are westerns then there are westerns, this is a great western. True, Val Kilmer is a 90's star, but this is my all time favorite role from him. While the "short" love scenes are a bit mushy, Kurt Russell has an outstanding…

This is a 1993 American western directed by George P. Cosmatos.
The film is based on events in Tombstone, Arizona, including the Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and the Earp Vendetta Ride, during the 1880s.
It depicts a number of western…

My favorite western. Great characters with great lines. Great action sequences. Looks the part 100% and excels as a period piece. It is possible you would like this movie even if you don't care for westerns. Its that good. Kilmer steals…

I frankly wished there was more of Val Kilmer in the movie overall. He alone carried the movie for me. He gives a very solid performance and his character has just become one of my favorite ever. Doc needs his own sequel for sure.
All in…

Exceptional western with a good cast and pacing. Russell and Kilmer play Wyatt and Doc well, and Sam Elliott is a nicely cast Virgil Earp. It doesn't quite match up to the Costner version, which I consider a superior film, but still well…

I love a good western, unfortunately they can't seem to make good ones anymore. I liked this movie a lot even though it was slow in some places. Liked Val Kilmer's performance but had questions. The ending was kind a let down for me. I…
