Typical

Rating: Null/10 (3 November 2003)

Coming from the director of Rambo and Cobra, it's obvious that Tombstone isn't trying to make new boundaries of the genre. However, when a movie fails to be basic entertainment, then you know something is wrong.
Excess is the name of the game in Tombstone. Too many players, too many scenes, too many fool's pardons on the writer (who also wrote The Mummy and Rambo, go fig). Kurt Russell is not his usual Escape from New York self, he is totally anti-Carpentar in his depiction of Wyatt Earp. That's not very good either. Watch Bill Paxton carefully, you can always guess what he's going to say next.
Overall, only Val Kilmer and his self-assured swagger make the only worthwhile element here. Everything else is underdone or overcooked. 1.5 out of 5.
