Len P There are a few versions of Wyatt Earps life due to sensationalist accounts in territorial tabloids of the late 19th century to promote circulation. He, and especially his wife Josephine, strongly sanitised his biography, omitting his own infamous past following his first wife’s death. It is a shame that the script writers didn’t make a reasonable effort to tell a true story rather than this garbage. It is unlikely that Virgil brought his injured brother, James, home from the war, but returned later. Wyatt didn’t burn his matrimonial home after the death of his first wife. He sold it for $75. There is no evidence Wyatt Earp hunted Buffalo for a living and he didn’t make the acquaintance of the Masterson brothers until 2 years later in Dodge City. Virgil was maimed in his left arm, not right. Morgan was “assassinated” 2½ months after his older brother, Virgil, was ambushed in the street and maimed with a shotgun, not the same day. He didn’t die on a billiard table nor was his wife present, having left for Colton, the previous month, after the Ok Corral gunfight. During the “Vendetta Ride”, all the known accounts of the gunfight where Curly Bill Brocius was killed differ significantly from the screenplay in the movie, including the scenery. Nor was Johny Ringo killed in this gunfight, as implied in the dialogue. This movie contains lots of fiction, using an historical character's name as the movie title to draw in viewers.

Worth a watch if you like westerns and Wyatt Earp. Dennis Quaid is annoying as Doc Holiday but besides that it's a good movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/29/24 Full Review Louis F I think this movie is an absolute classic, it captures the feel of the desert, west, cowboys etc. Not sure what everyone is complaining about. The score is amazing as well. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review A.L.Jude P Slow paced buy when started there was no paise till it ended. What an epitome for excellent movie making ? Hope no one will give a close up for negative reviews. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/14/24 Full Review Narciso R Awesome movie, what a cast. One of the things I love about movies, you get to see different angles on how life may have been in that era. This movie is different from other Wyatt versions. Excellent, the tomatometer must be operated by idiots. Wyatt wasn't just competing against tombstone, it was competing against Wolf. Sorry, I really enjoy Jack Nicholson, I saw Wolf. NRJ.
