Truly an outstanding, well made film!!

Rating: 10/10 (28 May 1999)

I used to love Western movies, but the genre had all but disappeared in the few years leading up to "Unforgiven" and eventually to "Tombstone". This rendition of the OK corral legend, although not all that accurate from a historical perspective, was without a doubt the finest ever filmed. Kevin Costner's "Wyatt Earp" was a slow moving, plodding disappointment compared to this masterpiece. The dialog in "Tombstone" is simply amazing, some of the most memorable lines in American movie history. Val Kilmer came of age as Doc Holliday in this movie, he should have won an Oscar for his portrayal. If you like good movies with a great cast, run, do walk to your nearest video store and add "Tombstone" to your collection!!
