A lot of care and attention were obviously devoted to selecting locations, designing sets, and grooming handlebar mustaches. Much less attention went to making one believe that any of the events took place circa 1879.

Doesn't really cut it in the Western genre.

A tough-talking but soft-hearted tale that is entertaining in a sprawling, old-fashioned manner.

Not everything works, but what does feels like lightning in a bottle, which is why so many return to "Tombstone" more than 30 years later.

With real mustaches and fury in their performances, the ensemble delivers a marquee feature of the era. Tombstone is not just a fun film; it's a very good one.

It’s my favorite movie. Val Kilmer is the the greatest actor of all time because of his role as Doc Holiday. Ike is a fun doofus. It’s a fun take on a cool time and place in American western history.

This is the single greatest western movie ever made. Not only is Val Kilmer fabulous, the rest of the cast including Kurt Russell are outstanding. Critics diss the film based on its plot but it is a romanticized retelling of historical figures and events. It is entertaining and fun to watch. One of the beauties of the film is the heroic characters are flawed men whose weaknesses and fears are central to the movement of the story. They are ordinary men who despite weaknesses accomplish extraordinary things. In that sense, this is the quintessential western film on par with the work of John Wayne and Clint Eastwood.

One of the best westerns ever made. Stacked with amazing actors, costume and set designs and 5 star performances from everyone involved with an especially pop culture mt Rushmore of movie characters with Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday. Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp was incredible also with other great performances from Sam Elliott, Bill Paxton, Michael Bein, and Powers Booth. This movie was my childhood and a special bond with my dad and sister over our love for this film will last a lifetime. They just don't make them like this anymore folks.
