Amazon.co.uk Review
This Western has become a modest cult favourite since its release in 1993, when the film was met with mixed reviews but the performances of Kurt Russell (as Wyatt Earp) and especially Val Kilmer, for his memorably eccentric performance as the dying gunslinger Doc Holliday, garnered high praise. The movie opens with Wyatt Earp trying to put his violent past behind him, living happily in Tombstone with his brothers and the woman (Dana Delany) who puts his soul at ease. But a murderous gang called the Cowboys has burst on the scene, and Earp can't keep his gun belt off any longer. The plot sounds routine, and in many ways it is, but Western buffs won't mind a bit thanks to a fine cast and some well-handled action on the part of Rambo director George P Cosmatos, who has yet to make a better film than this. --Jeff Shannon

5.0 out of 5 stars "I'm Your Huckleberry", 13 Jan 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Tombstone [DVD] [1993] (DVD)
This is one of the best westerns ever made and ranks right up there with "The Searchers" and "The Unforgiven." It is a story of changing times that haven't quite changed enough. Kurt Russell gives his best performance as Wyatt Earp, coming to Tombstone with his brothers to settle down and put his Marshaling days behind him. Tombstone is wild though and a group known as 'The Cowboys' along with young Johnny Ringo begin to make this impossible.

Dana Delany is radiant as the actress Wyatt falls for even though he is married. His wife has become a drug addict and his marriage is not the stuff dreams are made of, but Dana Delaney is. Wyatt and his brothers are slowly drawn towards the history we have come to know, and the aftermath we may not. This is a multilayered story more faithful to the truth than most versions.

What makes this film different from other westerns is the depth of the story and the realistic performances of the cast, the finest of which is Val Kilmer's terrific turn as Doc Holliday. This film more realistically portrays the relationship of Holliday and Wyatt than any other film. Kilmer is dangerous and intelligent, and above all, loyal to perhaps his only real friend in life, Wyatt Earp. Kilmer so becomes the real Doc Holliday that it was said he remained in character on the set at all times. His performance is something that will always be remembered by anyone who watches this film.

Wyatt is a real man in this film with raw courage but no self delusions. He is no gunman and realizes he can not beat Johnny Ringo in a gun battle. Doc Holliday, in spite of his illness, arrives there first and in one of the greatest (and most accurately portrayed) gunfights in film history kills the legendary Johnny Ringo, thus saving Wyatt's life.

Doc Holliday and Wyatt Earp remained friends until Holliday finally was overtaken by the tuberculosis which had plauged him for years. As in real life Wyatt Earp acually does find happiness and settles down with Dana Delaney after his wife dies. He became quite wealthy in the latter part of his life. The rich tapestry of events that formed the legend of the dangerous Doc Holliday and Marshall Wyatt Earp are given the best and most accurate screen treatment ever filmed. This is a must see western. You will never forget it and you will never see a better and more colorful true to life performance than Val Kilmer's turn as Doc Holliday......

5.0 out of 5 stars The best western since he good, the bad, and the ugly!, 17 April 2000
By K. J. Long (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Tombstone [VHS] [1993] (VHS Tape)
The plot is based on a true story and houses big names such as Val Kilmer, Kurt Russel, Jason Priestly and Billy Zane. The story is an in depth one with lots of little sub-stories and hidden meanings. Val Kilmer plays the 'lunger' Doc Holiday who was once feared as the fastest draw in the west now dying from tubercullosis, but still insisting that he is 'in his prime'. It is a classic performance, as his character locks horns with the cowboy Johnny Ringo. Kurt Russel impresses as lawman Wyatt Earp, but it is Doc Holiday, the cliche ridden polka playing outlaw who steals the show.

The end gunfight is one of the best for suspense since the end scene of The good, the bad, and the ugly.

It is also a film with a lot of emotional depth to it as Wyatt comes to terms with his life, his drug addict wife, losing his brother and making money in the town.

A must for all western fans!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greats, 21 Jun 2004
By Simon (Cambridge UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tombstone [DVD] [1993] (DVD)
This is one of the best Westerns ever made and is actually historically pretty accurate. Kurt Russell is very good as Wyatt Earp but Val Kilmer steals the show as the ice cool Doc Holliday. I can watch this film time and again and never get bored with it. Packed with action and superb gunfights it is entertaining from start to finish.Well worth the money, its a classic.
