When Men Were Men and Outlaws Were Shot

Rating: 10/10 (7 May 2004)

This movie takes you back to a time were justice wasn't just a word. Tombstone does an excellent job capturing the look, feel, and grit of the old West.
Val Kilmer steals the show as Doc Holliday, and the rest of the all star cast is what pushes this movie over the top. The first time I went to see this movie, I had no idea what it was about or what to expect. Needless to say, it was one of the best movie surprises of my life.

I also purchased the directors edition of this movie on DVD. While the extra scenes were nice, and a few questions were answered, I don't think it added much to the overall theme of the movie. In fact, there was one part with Doc Holliday doing a monologue type thing to the camera.. which should have been cut. I had no idea how that scene added to the movie.

This movie is #2 in my all time favorite movies.
