A So So Western With Many Hammy Performances

Rating: 6/10 (11 August 2006)

Today as I watched Tombstone again I said to myself, this is a good western, but I also said there were a lot of lousy performances especially from Dana Wheeler-Nicholson, and Stephen Lang in a thankless role.
I keep hearing the comparisons between Wyatt Earp and Tombstone and they are stupid, first of all Tombstone was in the theater while Wyatt Earp was still in production and the director of Wyatt Earp made a movie with more depth and straight language to not offend the dim minded movie goers.
Tombstone from Wyatt Earps mouth has language flashes in Metaphor and attitude, and the movie doesn't seem thrown together, but it looses speed at the 1hr 45 min point Hardly a stinker, but there are quite a lot of hammy performances from Val Kilmer and Michael Biehn.
Watch this one on cable or rent, but don't buy (*1/2)out of (****)
