You gonna do something, or just stand there and bleed?

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2007)

To say this movie is entertaining is to say that Popcorn is sold at the movies. It is a no brainer. Tombstone is one of the best movies ever made from an entertainment standpoint and it is by far the best western ever made, and that includes films like Cool Hand Luke and Stagecoach.
I also have to concur with the opinion that Kilmer steals the show and he should have at least been nominated in 93 for best supporting actor. Tommy Lee Jones was brilliant as Girard in The Fugitive but Kilmer was equally as brilliant in this film.
This film may not be a completely accurate re-creation of the famous story with the Clantons and the OK Corral and such, but it is so much fun that accuracy doesn't really matter. What does matter is that you are mesmerized by Doc and even guys like Ike, Curly Bill and even small roles such as Billy. But to me the two most interesting characters in the film was the relationship between Doc and Ringo. They truly hate each other but have a mutual respect for each other and you just know that there will be a showdown between these two gunslingers. And when they do play for blood, we realize that not only is Doc " your Huckleberry " but Ringo " ain't no daisy. He ain't no daisy. There is so much fun in this movie.
The script is unbelievable and some of the lines in this film will be quoted for generations to come, with the bulk of the hilarity and brilliance coming from Doc.
On a scale of 1-10, this film easily gets a ten. And if you want to see one of the best casts ever assembled, you have come to the right place.
To sum it up, I'll leave you with this " You tell em' the law is comin. You tell em' I'm comin' and hell's comin' with me. HELL'S comin with me! "
