Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/23/25 Full Review Audience Member Well, this is a hard sell. Came out in 94'- Tombstone came out in 93'- not sure what the point was but think they were pretty close to being released at the same time. The actors are all pretty decent. Costner's 'Aw Shucks' beginning of the movie is about as awful as it gets. He's a good actor but they gave him the exact same role in every movie regardless of story. He DOES toughen up half way through though. The story is all over the place and you don't feel connected to ANY of the characters in any kind of meaningful way. The best thing is when you see this and Tombstone to see how a story that is similar can fail or succeed to shocking degrees when done right or wrong. Didn't care to watch it when I was watching it and not going to keep it for my collection. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review acsdoug D I admire the intent, the desire to fill in the before and after of the OK Corral gunfight. I have to join in the general criticism, however: the film is way too long. I maybe recommending it because I like Westerns rather the quality of the movie itself. For what it's worth, I liked it. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/25 Full Review Tim M A lesser version of its preceding twin film, Wyatt Earp finds Kevin Costner and company operating at minimum capacity within the Western genre. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/17/25 Full Review Bear B. Sadly it becomes trendy in Hollywood “journalism” circles to pan certain films and this is one. Frankly I’m embarrassed for those writers. This is an excellent depiction of Wyatt and his family from youth to old age—a necessarily long epic with high production values, very good casting, well acted, written, and directed. There’s always room for improvement but on the whole it’s impressive. Watch it in three sittings and consider it a mini series if the run time seems daunting. Well worth your time if you appreciate good cinema. The scenery is beautiful. Costuming top notch. The story is historical enough. The sound track is good but in certain moments overdone and overly prominent—possibly the film’s biggest flaw. This picture will stand the test of time and, I suspect, be increasingly appreciated with age. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/06/25 Full Review Chris F Wyatt Earp takes on the unenviable task of competing with the more glamorous but also more Hollywood smitten version of Earp's life as portrayed by Kurt Russell in Tombstone. Costner pulls it off, though, with an earthy performance and grittier Earp than Russell could ever hope to achieve. And as for the respective Doc Holliday actors, Dennis Quaid simply outshines Val Kilmer in grit and reality. This is what a western should be: gritty, unassuming and not afraid to be commonplace. The Old West was more like this than Tombstone. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
