Excellent epic. Wyatt Earp is an icon of the old west.

Rating: 8/10 (5 March 2001)

This is a tremendous movie crammed with gunsmoke, romance and the full flavor of the old west. The life of the legendary lawman and his family is very interesting. Earp moves to rugged Arizona to start life over with his brothers. He proves to have a strong stature as a businessman, but can't get away from his legend or let it die. The elaborate gunfight at OK Corral lets the lead fly. Flawless camera work and lighting and talented ensemble cast will draw attention to this epic for a long, long time.
Kurt Russell is a powerful and macho Earp. This role is almost as strong as his portrayal of Elvis Presley in a TV bio-pic. Val Kilmer is excellent in the role of Doc Holiday. Probably his best job of acting ever. Sam Elliott is a standout as Virgil Earp.
Other fine performances come from Bill Paxton, Powers Boothe, Dana Delany, Billy Bob Thornton, Charlton Heston and Jason Priestly.
This one you can watch again and again with no fear of tiring of it.The full cast and crew are responsible for making Kevin Jarre's words come alive. This is more than a western; it is classic bound.
