This Western has become a modest cult favorite 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

Rating:  - Tombstone Director's Cut hits the mark.
I bought this movie for my father for Father's Day and he absolutely loves it. The features make this DVD a cut above of the already amazing original. I think that as man who grew up watching John Wayne and Clint Eastwood westerns, to say that Tombstone is my dad's favorite western is truly remarkable. It is my favorite as well.
Rating: - The Best of the Earp Movies
Having read three biographies of Wyatt Earp and having seen four Earp movies, I can honestly attest that Tombstone is without a doubt the best. Historically, it falters, only slightly, but it stays close enough to documentation to be believed. Whether or not Wyatt Earp screamed from the train station at Tucson, "tell 'em I'm comin', and I'm bringin' hell with me," or if Doc Holliday turned around from a tree and told Johnny Ringo, "I'm your Huckleberry," it's all moot. The point is Tombstone is ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent, Excellent, Excellent!
I'm speechless about this film. It is absolutely excellent in every way! I must have watched it 20-times and I never get tired of it. If you like westerns and/or are interested in Wyatt Earp, this is the movie to watch!
Rating: - Best. Movie. Ever.
I could watch this movie every day for a year and still never tire of it. Val Kilmer is fantastic as is Kurt Russell. Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo dominates every scene he's in and the bar scene with him and Val Kilmer is a great moment where Doc uses his droll humor to diffuse an otherwise deadly situation. This movie is definitely my Huckleberry!
Rating:  - Movie-0, Russell-5, Kilmer-10
This movie is dreadful. Whopping historical inaccuracies, horrible score, very cheesy. Russell is good but Val Kilmer steals the picture performance wise. This is one of those movies where everyone and his uncle are in the cast. Look! It's John Corbett. Is that Jason Priestley? Wow, Billy Zane was in this? Whoa, Billy Bob! I know the Dana Delaney part was that of a free thinking woman but she would still have spoken in the manner of an 1880s lady, not a modern woman although this is the 1st time ... Read More
