wyatt earp details thirty - five years in the life of same from around 1865 to 1900 .
after seeing the movie speed twice recently , i kept thinking that i was seeing wyatt 's life pass before my eyes in real time .
this movie was boring , slow , boring , and slow .
there were a few scenes that tried to be great scenes that tried too hard and just fell flat .
the script happily woman - bashes but also tries to sound like an 80s movie .
they can not have it both ways .
"
i now pronounce you husband and wife .
" sure , they said that in the 1800s .
" entrepreneur .
" sure .
every bit of male - ego - stroking dialogue that wyatt 's third wife speaks to him made me sick to listen to it .
"
oh , the script was written by two men ?
" " no kidding !
"
the movie is torture to sit through .
the scenery is boring .
the fades were either awkward or cliche or to self important .
can you say poor editing
? everyone looks ugly in this movie .
when you shoot people from under their chins , they look like they have double chins .
kevin costner has never looked worse .
he should sue .
he looks like he gained the 43 pounds that dennis quaid lost .
dennis quaid is marvelous . if you have to see this movie just for his performance , go into the theatre at the movie 's halfway mark .
doc holliday ( quaid 's character ) shows up at about the 90-minute mark .
gene hackman is very good .
is he in the credits ?
i do n't remember seeing his name .
mare winningham makes the best of a small role as wyatt 's second wife .
annabeth gish is good as wyatt 's first wife .
i though that jamie gertz played wyatt 's third wife , but i later heard that her name is joanna going .
she looks great but
her dialogue sucks .
she also seems way to young for costner .
costner seems way to old for 90 % of this movie .
in his first scene he is supposed to be about 19 years old .
yeah , right .
catherine o'hara and jobeth williams are always good and totally wasted here .
this is the worst movie that i have seen in years .
the last action hero was better that this .
go see maverick if you want to see a western .
bullets for dennis quaid 's performance only .
this is the worst movie that i have seen in years the scenery is boring her dialogue sucks boring , slow , boring , and slow tried too hard and just fell flat yeah , right . everyone looks ugly totally wasted awkward or cliche or to self important poor editing torture to sit through
