Its aim is true, even if the facts aren't

Rating: 7/10 (30 March 2015)

One of the many cases where there are two films covering the same subject or subject matter released by rival studios in close proximity to one another, 'Tombstone' was certainly viewed at the time as having the lesser pedigree than the supposed Oscar bait of Lawrence Kasdan's 'Wyatt Earp', but over 20 years later I think it's safe to say that the former is widely regarded as being the superior film.
This is easily one of the best ensembles of the last 25 years, and standing tallest amongst the giants is Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. With so much stoic machismo on display his sly turn as Holiday gives things some much needed balance. I don't know if it's good history, but it's certainly an entertaining film.
