An iconic film that's highly underrated

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2020)

Tombstone is everything a Western should be. It's simple, filled with violence & memorable characters, and absolutely BA.
I'm usually not a Western fan, but this film may make me one.
Tombstone is a historical fiction that follows the real-life Wyatt Earp. Kurt Russell plays the role of Wyatt with flawless brilliance. The Van Kilmer as Doc Holliday? Ingenious. And the villains (Powers Boothe as Curly Bill and Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo) were absolutely vile.
It's a great script that pays respect to its source material. There are some biblical undertones that I'm too lazy to explore in this interview. And the world-building of the Wild West was perfect.
You can watch this movie over and over again w/o losing any amount of love for it. It's that good.
5/5. One of my top favorites of the genre.
