Review of Wyatt Earp (1994) by Jim W — 20 Jun 2010
Wyatt Earp was released a year after the well made Tombstone, that already told the story of Wyatt Earp with better acting and without being as long. Tombstone didn't cover everything, but it at least covered the exciting parts. Wyatt Earp would have been better if it wasn't so long. It covers so much, that I'm surprised there's no scenes with Wyatt Earp using the outhouse lol.
The performances are ok, but they don't make you forget Tombstone. Dennis Quaid tries hard to be a good Doc Holiday, but he's just not right for the part. He has nothing on Val Kilmer or Kirk Douglas who were better in the role. The under-rated Kevin Costner fairs better as Wyatt Earp. He's believable from the younger days of Wyatt Earp right up until his older days.
