Hell comes to Tombstone.

Rating: 10/10 (8 September 2012)

As many others pointed out. Tombstone is the definitive Wyatt Earp film. In some cases it's historically accurate. And in some cases it's not so accurate but who cares ? The real movie is Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer as Wyatt Earp and Doc Holliday. It helps that they had the good sense to bring Sam Elliot on board as well. Elliot is The Western actor to turn to since John Wayne died.
Tombstone tries to tell the Story of the Gunfight at the O.K.. Corrall. The Events leading up to it and the events after.
Russell steals the film as Wyatt Earp making a classic portrayal of a classic historical figure. And Yet Val Kilmer becomes the whole show for his portrayal of the doomed yet honourable Doc.
I saw it when it came out in the theatre. And I watch it every now and then and I'm always amazed by how well a job they did. Always worth seeing just for the incredible acting of Val Kilmer. And always worth seeing Kurt Russell making Wyatt Earp a little bit more human.
