Movie Reviews of Tombstone - The Director's Cut (Vista Series)
Movie Review: Why can't I change the channel?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have seen "Tombstone" more times than I can remember. And, on those lazy evenings, when they occur, if I flip through the channels and this movie is on, I stop and watch it. You can find many other detailed reviews here, so I will take the shorter path. For me, the cast is tremendous, and I agree with so many who found Kilmer to be superb here as Doc Holliday. The brand of self-deprecating humor that he displayed in this film is so dry and understated, it sneaks up on you and you find yourself repeating lines and then marveling at their nuance. There are a couple of slow periods, but, overall, this is a very well done, entertaining movie from start to conclusion. Forget the Costner pic. Just be cautious when you channel surf. This one may grab you every time.Movie Review: It makes you think...
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an incredibly entertaining movie and the development of the relationships between the major characters really makes you explore the human condition. What really snaps me to attention is at the end of the movie where the narrator says that Wyatt Earp died in 1929 in Los Angeles. Maybe not for some but 1929 wasn't all that long ago. I always thought the "Wild West" was some bygone era but, in truth, it was only yesterday.Movie Review: Your Brother's Not Always Right...
Summary: 5 Stars
But he's always your brother and that's the central theme of Tombstone. I was trying to think of a way I could be a little more detached about his movie than I feel like being, but there's no point in trying to do so. The fact is that this is a wonderful film with a wonderful story line and wonderful acting. Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday sucks out all the oxygen in every scene he's in (and even a few where he's off camera). He is devoted to his best friend Wyatt Earp for many reasons but chiefly because he's one of the only friends that he has. Admittedly, this is only a semi-historically accurate portrait of Holliday but the sacrifices he makes for the Earp brothers are touching and admirable. In my mind, the gambler/dentist is the perfect embodiment of loyalty and honor. These are very politically incorrect virtues so we must be thankful that some element of pop culture decided to enshrine them somewhere. Independent of its symbolic and emotional resonance, Tombstone is just a plain old good time. Whatever you want to call it--an action pic, a western or a drama--it's superb and fantastic cinema. Movie Review: I love this movie!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Tombstone is one of my favorite movies!!! I thought it was about time I bought the DVD.Movie Review: Tombstone is tops
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is very close to the actual circumstances of the OK Corral. Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliot (who is so perfect in westerns it makes you wonder if he was time shifted from 1880!!), and Bill Paxton are great! Then you see some of the actors from classic western movies and TV back as older men. Another one that we have memorized the lines to and still have to watch it each time it is on the satellite!! If you've never seen it....buy it, pop some popcorn, pour some butter on it and turn on the home theater!!
