Val Kilmer is absolutely brilliant.

Rating: 10/10 (30 August 2004)

Most people find Westerns a bit on the boring side, but "Tombstone" fits that description in no way whatsoever. This movie takes you on a ride during the actual showdown and during the events that lead up to the O.K. Corral. in Tombstone, Arizona and does a terrific job on the historical actuality of the whole story. During the journey you meet retired lawman, Wyatt Earp and his two brothers, Morgan and Virgil. Kurt Russell does a superb job playing Wyatt and I must say Bill Paxton and Sam Elliott do their rolls justice also as his brothers. BUT, the most excellent and brilliant performance comes from Val Kilmer who plays the part of the legendary, Dr. John Henry "Doc" Holliday. Without Kilmer's awesome performance, this film, in my opinion, would just be mediocre and no better. Instead, it is a fun-filled, action-packed blast that is just waiting to have you sucked into the story throughout it's entirety.
