    ''I spent my whole life not knowing what I want out of it, just chasing my tail. Now for the first time I know exactly what I want and who... that's the damnable misery of it.''


    A successful lawman's plans to retire anonymously in Tombstone, Arizona, are disrupted by the kind of outlaws he was famous for eliminating.

    Kurt Russell: Wyatt Earp

    Val Kilmer: Doc Holliday

    If you love westerns or action flicks you have to love Tombstone. The movie is simply loved. The directing is top notch. Tombstone focuses on accuracy while creating an exciting story.

    Kurt Russell who leads, never fails to give an electric performance he is on top form as Wyatt Earp.
    Val Kilmer is the total essense of Wyatt's friend Doc Holiday in gaunt like looks and his disposition.
    Wyatt and his brothers arrive with their wives in tombstone looking for a peaceful place to settle down. Dana Delaney is the beautiful lady Wyatt falls for though his already married. His wife is a drug addict and Wyatt's marriage doesn't seem to be working out the way he hoped it could have. Wyatt is in retirement but Doc isn't but soon trouble comes in the form of an outlaw gang called the cowboys wearing red scarves tied to their belts. They cause all kinds of trouble wherever they go. One night they kill the town sheriff and then they bring their revenge and kill Wyatt's brother Morgan.

    Wyatt is spurred out of retirement for good and becomes US marshal seeking his own vengeful brand of justice. Soon a shootout takes place and even Doc gets in on the action too alongside his friend.

    My fave scene involves Michael Biehn as Johnny Ringo and Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday. Val Kilmer spinning his gun albeith with a cup I could watch all day, first time I saw this I knew Tombstone was great! This scene I always remember alot alongside Val Kilmer who steals the film in my opinion.

    This is one of the best western shootouts I've ever seen I'm not usually a big fan of westerns that don't have Clint or John Wayne but Tombstone has an amazing story about real people and events that sucks you in. Tombstone was very enjoyable and the film was brilliantly acted there were no boring scenes throughout the entire film it was a great ride.

    Don't miss this you will not be disappointed with an all male cast including Kurt Russell,Val Kilmer,Bill Paxton,Michael Biehn,Sam Elliot,Billy Zane, and loads of others you cannot go wrong with.

    A masterpiece and one of my favourite movies.

    Excellent movie. Good acting brings the story of Wyatt Earp and Doc Holladay to life in spectacular gun-blazing fashion.

    Val Kilmer did an incredible job here, probably his best ever. Great lines, too. Kurt Russell just seemed a bit too intense and overacted.

    Even though the movie was just over 2 hours, it seemed longer, especially the first 30 minutes of the movie. They seemed rather cheesy and unneeded, but I guess this IS a western so go figure.

    The music score was awful, but I've heard worse in movies that i otherwise enjoyed (i.e. Major Payne and Silence of the Lambs).

    Its a very good movie with very good action moments . the story is very interesting perhaps because its based on true facts. Wyatt Earp decides to retire as a lawman and move to Tombstone with his brothers and partner Doc Holliday but he's forced to come back to free a town from a band of outlaws. The direction from barely Known George Pan Cosmatos is very good. The movie has a enjoyable rhythm, slow at some moments but never tiresome. It has some good scenery, the landscapes are beautiful and the music is really good also. It has an excellent cast. Kurt Russell in the role of Wyatt Earp its his best performance since Backdraft. Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday is just wonderful, he puts the comedy part in the movie. Sam Elliot and Bill Paxton give a very good performance as Virgil Earp and Morgan Earp respectively, they give the necessary support to the story and to the leading actors. In conclusion, a very good and enjoyable western.

    This is a good western. The film has a great cast. Made and released the same time as the Wyatt Earp film. Just as good as that film but just a different take. If you like westerns then this film is for you.

    MICHAEL BIEHN!!!!

    (Interesting note: Michael Biehn + mustache = villain [such as in the Abyss and Tombstone], whereas Michael Biehn + clean-shaven = hero [like in the Terminator and Aliens]. Coincidence?)
