Tombstone

I’m not kidding. This is literally the greatest western movie ever written. The cast is phenomenal, the story line is consistently entertaining. Val Kilmer killed is as doc holiday. Kurt Russel is the hero you want to be!

Especially, liked Val Kilmer’s performance!! This is one of the great western films of all time!! Don’t miss it!! J Hinton

How it took me this long to watch is on me.

I can not believe this great movie doesn’t have at least 5.1 surround…I own this but I watch it at movie’s anywhere or HBO max C’mon Apple step it up some of us have home theater

The characters and pacing of this movie are excellent. This is one of my all-time favorite westerns. Val Kilmer, as Doc Holiday, is brilliant. Strong villains, also make this a compelling story. You will not be disappointed with this movie if you are a fan of western movies… Definitely a crowdpleaser.

So many classic lines & scenes in this movie. Shocked at how low of an average score this received. Give me 4K UHD version!!

Great cast and a great movie. Highly recommended

Absolutely without doubt one of the best modern day westerns That’s it because that’s all it needs !!, so good

This movie is an instant classic! Took me a long time to actually watch it after being really into Westerns. This movie features a terrific cast, memorable lines, a good plot and great sets. The real charmer of this movie was definitely Val Kilmer for me. He really stole every scene he was in as the famous Doc Holliday along side Kurt Russell’s featured figure, Wyatt Earp. I would not have purchased this movie digitally or physically on Blu-ray if I didn’t love it.

First off, many of the characters that the main personalities of the movie introduce you to are indeed historically real & accurate accounts. Ed Bailey, Milt Joyce (whom Doc Holliday had quarreled with & ended up stabbing Mr. Joyce & was later tried for “Attempted Murder”), needless to say did not get along. Other characters such as John Behan had tried to gain Wyatt Earps friendship and/or approval was spurned by Earp thus making him an enemy & caused him to align with the “Cowboys”. Villains such as Curly Bill Brocius indeed had the true “Shotgun Duel”, with Wyatt Earp. Henry Hooker, the local area rancher & cattleman did indeed offer sanctuary to Doc Holliday when his condition had worsened. The only unsubstantiated claim is the shootout between Johnny Ringo & Doc Holliday. However when found, Ringo had his Colt drawn, 1 shot fired & lay dead at the base of a large tree with a single shot to the head. The speculation was then & now that Doc Holliday was in fact the only man that possessed the speed to which could in fact beat Ringo in a straight up “Gunfight”. However evidence shows that Holliday had been in court around the time the supposed gunfight had taken place. To add further questions, there was a considerable amount of time afterwards that no one could account for the whereabouts of Doc. So yes, it was maybe a liberty or indulgence on the directors part, but what a wonderful indulgence to add to the film. It is so well done, including the often strange & unconventional love affair between Earp & Josephine Marcus from Doc & “Big Nose Kate”, the prostitute, it truly tells the often complicated life of the men & women that were more than characters in the famous shootout at the O.K. Corral. If you enjoy the western genre at all you owe it to yourself to watch Tombstone at least once & learn about real men of action & the lengths they’d go to, to uphold the law. A little known fact about the movie Tombstone was that Val Kilmer’s performance of John Henry “Doc” Holliday was so well received the studio toyed with the idea of making a movie that told the story of the early years of Doc Holliday, to be named simply “Doc”, but ultimately was never done. Also a bit of trivia; as Doc Holliday liked to state that “He’d be your Huckleberry”, several times throughout the film. In those days the handle or “Huckle”, as it was known & men that were selected to carry the coffin of the deceased were known as “Bearers”. So it would be shortened to “Huckleberry”, meaning “he’d be all to happy to put you in your coffin, ahead of schedule”, if need be! Enjoy!
