Review of Tombstone (1993) by Warlok9 — 18 Aug 2019
This movie is vastly underrated. Kilmer's performance as Doc Holliday is arguably the greatest interpretation of a real western character in the the history of western filmmaking. It's not to be missed. If you haven't seen the movie, watch it! Even if you're not a fan of the genre, this is as entertaining as a movie can be. It doesn't matter if this is not an accurate account of these real men and women. Just enjoy the ride.
With an all star cast that delivers, this movie turned many folks who never liked westerns into fans of the genre when it was released.
The greatest weakness of the movie is also its greatest strength; Kilmer's Holliday (and Bein's Johnny Ringo to an extent) steal the show from Russel's Wyatt Earp who is the main protagonist of the film. Powers Booth and a familiar cast of actors take on the roles of the no good "cowboys". Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton and the rest of the cast deliver.
A fantastic interpretation of the famous Gunfight at the O.K. Corral and all the events that lead up to the fight and what may have transpired after.
