Critics Consensus

If you're seeking a stylish modern western with a solid story and a well-chosen ensemble cast, Tombstone is your huckleberry.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Chicago Reader

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.

Amazing film, every actor was a perfect fit for their characters. I have to say for me Val Kilmer was the best part of the film, action, drama and pure delight. My favorite Western of all time. Highly recommended!

Love this movie. What’s interesting is it somehow feels very focused and loose at the same time. Like after the fact, I remember it being a bullet train of gunfighting but then I (re)watch it and it’s kind of a collage of different stories playing out.

Far too much pathos, kitsch and whitewashing of violent heroism. The glorification of weapons that continues to shape American society to this day.
