What a cartoon compared to the superior WYATT EARP (coming to DVD May 18 2004.) This movie was paled by the other instantly. Not only is the characterization way off here, but the whole “Cowboys” and red scarf thing has nothing to do with anything related to the events or characters. What a shame some fine talent is wasted in this overrated mess.

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 things 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…

How can anyone watch this garbage? I got through over half the film but not without fast forwarding more than a few scenes. Finally I couldn’t waste my time any longer. I found the acting to be hammy when I could find it believable at all. Wasn’t that the dimwit from “Wings” playing a rugged cowboy? Yeah, that’s believable… These characters don’t even look like they belong in this era. I think the mustaches were added to make the actors look older. They travel over great distances and then come on camera with every hair in place and not a spot of dust to be found on their clothing. Give me a break. Rent “My Darling Clementine” instead. It has real actors: Henry Fonda, Victor Mature, Ward Bond, Walter Brennan and is truly a great western. Tombstone is garbage.

I thought that the movie was okay and I’m being generous when I say that…The movie went on and on and just when I thought I was going to puke.Val Kilmer shows up still trying to die from Tuberculosis.It just got old after a while.

Wow, 246 Amazon reviewers, and they all think Val Kilmer is good in this movie. I don’t know how anybody could watch this ludicrous performance — the beady little raisin eyes, the strangled Brando-impersonation voice, the psychotic self-absorption — and not recoil in embarrassment. Imagine not being able to out-act Victor Mature, who was actually a far better Doc in “My Darling Clementine.” Watch that movie and you’ll see this for the souped-up high school production it is.
