Good, but not nearly as good as "Wyatt Earp".

Rating: Null/10 (5 September 2003)

This movie was great, but I do not think it was as great as "Wyatt Earp". Kilmer was really good as Doc Holliday, no doubt about it, but I think Dennis Quaid was better. Same with Kurt Russell, I think Kevin Costner was more of a "Earp" than Russell, though Russell had his moments.
I really can't figure why so many people think this movie is better than "Wyatt Earp". This movie was pure entertaining to me, and "Wyatt Earp" has something special, which both inspires and entertains. Maybe it has something to do with that "Wyatt Earp" seemed a little bit more realistic than "Tombstone".
Good and entertaining movie, but if you miss it, it's not a disaster.
"Tombstone" : 6.5/10 "Wyatt Earp" : 9.5/10
In other words, if you're interested in the story of Wyatt Earp, rent/buy the Kevin Costner-version.
