Larry P Obviously one of the greatest Westerns of the 21st century. Val Kilmer steals the show as Doc Holliday, but Kurt Russell has some fine moments, too as Wyatt Earp. Powers Boothe and Michael Biehn are superb villains as Curly Bill and Johnny Ringo. I would love to have seen the Director's original vision with Robert Mitchum as Old Man Clanton. This is one of those films that has grown in popularity since its original release, with many clamoring for Val Kilmer to have at least received an Oscar nomination for his performance. If you like Westerns, this is a keeper. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/26/25 Full Review Ken B Best of my generation, the casting was excellent and one name Val Kilmer, is why you watch. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Maria A The best Western ever made in the USA, bar none. Fantastic acting. One of the best screenplays ever composed, with dozens of quotable one-liners that are never clunky or weird. Val Kilmer & Kurt Russell both deliver Oscar-worthy performances. In fact, it is a travesty that this cinematographic masterpiece did not get the wider — international — distribution that it deserved, nor the critical acclaim across all media that are its just deserts. For those who love big sky shots, such as those that are a signature of the works of Terence Malick, "Tombstone" yields a treasure trove of scenic vistas that make the Wild West come alive. I have no idea where some of the negative comments are coming from, because they are from way out beyond left field... My family has watched this film at least 5 times, love it every bit as much as we love "Gladiator" — and in certain ways even more, because we understand the period it depicts better, and because of its profound relevance to America's current social & political crisis, in which we can see organized crime threatening the very survival of American democracy & the US Constitution. Just watched this precious motion picture once again, in full 35 mm glory, at an arthouse cinema in Spain, with full Dolby... An experience as thrilling and enriching as any great operatic performance of something serious and sublime, by Verdi or Mozart or Rossini or Beethoven... We went in particular as a tribute to the incandescent Val Kilmer, in what is probably his finest film role. Take the time to fully enjoy this movie. It will change how you think of your fellow human beings. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Jan V Peak cinema, movie perfection. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/11/25 Full Review P M The humor in this movie redeemed it, but it was otherwise cliche-ridden and drawn out. They began to take too many liberties with near-death misses toward the end, dramatically lowering the tension.
