The Best Western EVER!!

Rating: 10/10 (1 April 2012)

I have seen some great westerns, like "Shane", "The Man Who Shot Libery Valance," etc. etc. And until I saw "Tombstone" I considered "The Outlaw Josey Wales" to be perhaps the best Western ever made.
Believe it or not, this is an even more satisfying movie, and the biggest surprise of all is that Val Kilmer can really act. I mean he can REALLY act. His best role easily. He steals the show from start to finish as Doc Holiday. Kurt Russell even exhibits some talent as Wyatt Earp, and of course a Western wouldn't be a Western without Sam Elliot. The actor who portrays Johnny Ringo also gave a great performance.
The gunfight at the OK Corral is probably the highlight of the film, although there are many excellent scenes. I'm not sure if Doc Holiday says "I'm your huckleberry" or "I'll be your huckleberry" but whatever he says you'll be quoting it for months anytime someone challenges you.
In summary, it's a simple story of good guys being punished for being good, and then kicking the living crap out of the bad guys - something many of people would enjoy seeing considering recent world events.
