Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: This Western has become a modest cult favourite since its release in 1993, when the film was met with mixed reviews but the performances of Kurt Russell (as Wyatt Earp) and especially Val Kilmer, for his memorably eccentric performance as the dying gunslinger Doc Holliday, garnered high praise. The movie opens with Wyatt Earp trying to put his violent past behind him, living happily in Tombstone with his brothers and the woman (Dana Delany) who puts his soul at ease. But a murderous gang called the Cowboys has burst on the scene, and Earp can't keep his gun belt off any longer. The plot sounds routine, and in many ways it is, but Western buffs won't mind a bit thanks to a fine cast and some well-handled action on the part of Rambo director George P Cosmatos, who has yet to make a better film than this. --Jeff Shannon Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Tombstone vs Wyatt EarpTombstone is an immensely enjoyable western. And this version - the Vista series / Director's Cut - is the best one to get. I ordered it from the USA and it came in immaculate condition in an amazingly short time; but what's on it? There are 3 bite sized featurettes (about 10 mins each): An Ensemble Cast; Making An Authentic Western; The Gunfight at the OK Corral. There is an Interactive Timeline of the actual events as they took place, Director's Storyboards, an Actual Newspaper Account (which you navigate around to read in your own time), a DVD-Rom featuring the game of Faro (the game Wyatt Earp runs in the film), also a fold out map of the actual layout of Tombstone including the OK Corral, an Insert booklet and not least - a ... Read More: Rating: - "Tell them I'm coming, and hell's coming with me!"If not as good as John Sturges' under-rated and rarely revived masterpiece Hour of the Gun, the first film to follow the aftermath of the O.K. Corral, Tombstone is far from the spoiler for Kevin Costner's ill-fated Wyatt Earp that it was first made out to be. Rather than follow most of the lawman's life, this concentrates on his days in Tombstone and is much more of an old-fashioned western, with Russell's Earp no embittered misogynist but a man forced against his domestic and financial instincts into a reckoning with the forces of evil. Where the build-up to the gunfight is a bit rushed and confused in Costner's film, here it carries more weight thanks to a literate and relatively accurate script that convincingly develops the ... Read More: Rating:  - THE DOC STEALS THE SHOW !!Quite a good western.Certainly not a classic though.VAL KILMERS portrayal of Doc holliday was worthy of an Oscar.He was nothing short of brilliant with his wit and poignant moments.I could watch this film over and over again for his performance alone. Rating: - "You called down the thunder! Well, now you've got it!"If you're going to make a list of the ten best Kurt Russell films (and why wouldn't you?), you'd have to consider this one for inclusion. Um, even if Val Kilmer does kind of steal the film out from under, well, everyone else in it. Speaking of everyone else in it, check this out: Powers Boothe, Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton, Sam Elliott, Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Rooker, Thomas Haden Church, Terry O'Quinn, Billy Zane. How's that for a list? And most of them have some magnificent mustaches! The film itself is another re-telling of the tale of Wyatt Earp, starring Russell as Earp and Kilmer as his drunk, sickly, eccentric buddy, Doc Holliday. Earp and his brothers arrive in the dusty mining camp of Tombstone to make their ... Read More: Rating:  - good fun, plenty of atmosphere, but not one of the great WesternsThis is a rather rambling film about the Earp brothers and their long struggle to tame the frontier town of Tombstone and in particular the Clancey brothers and their large number of friends and associates. It is distinguished by excellent performances by Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp and, particularly, Val Kilmer as the heavy-drinking, bronchial Doc Holliday, and also by a nice vignette from Dana Delaney as Josie, a high-class saloon girl who loves life and comes to love Wyatt Earp as well. The baddies are very bad and look it, the goodies clean-dressing rather sober-looking men with consciences and quick gun-hands. For me, it falls down a bit in the industrial scale eventually of the killings - not so much family feuds as small armies as the film ... Read More: |
