The Marvel comic version of the gunfight at the OK corral

Rating: 4/10 (29 January 2006)

I own just about every quality western ever made. I don't own this movie, because it's about the most inaccurate, unrealistic, over blown, western I've ever seen. We've got gunfighters flicking their wrists while shooting, much as if they are really fly fishing. They'd be lucky to hit the ground six feet in front of themselves, if not their own feet.
Tombstone was a boom town at this time, not a city of sophisticates, wearing the latest fashions from Paris. Watch "Once upon a time in the west", to see how a real western should look.
At one point Wyatt laments about the one gun fight he's been in, and about having to kill a single man. Soon after he's mowing them down, by the dozens often shooting them in the back, as they try to escape. So much for being the hand of justice.
The acting is good, Kilmer excels, as does Russell, and others. But the direction and writing is so heavy handed, I rather be dragged through cactus than have to sit through it again.
