If you are indeed in a goofy mood, this movie is going to entertain you about men with sticky mustaches. Remarkably, this still-legendary shootout that resulted in 3-4 deaths is still the basis for movies - one even came out almost simultaneously (unfortunate timing) with Costner - while now a little clash between gangs results in multiple casualties . Most recently in Waco, Texas. Still, this is a great movie, with decent actors. Kurt Russell rises above himself and gives Wyatt Earp's character something superhuman. Striking amount of chemistry between him and the female character played by Dana Delany. Towards the end, the film even gains in magic, with a hushed farewell to Doc Holliday (good role by Kilmer) and an almost picture-postcard ending, which seems to form the basis of the still-living Wyatt Earp legend.

A fun, if somewhat unbalanced, western. There are a lot of good elements in Tombstone, but it all feels a bit messy at times. Characters that seem important at first suddenly just disappear, subplots that are started are not finished, etc. In the first 80 minutes, there is also little forward drive in the plot; it basically just revolves around the day-to-day happenings in a small western town and three brothers trying to find their way around it. Only in the last 45 minutes is the battle with the outlaw gang built up and started. But as I said; the movie is also very good. The atmosphere is great, the images are very beautiful and in terms of sets and locations clearly a lot of work has gone into this. The biggest asset of the film, however, is the cast. Everyone is acting great, including of course the ever fantastic Kurt Russel. Certainly at the end he can go wild as a gunslinger. As far as I'm concerned, the star of the film is not Russell, but without a doubt Val Kilmer. He plays a fantastic role. In the hands of a lesser actor, his character would have served primarily as comic relief, but Kilmer puts pure coolness and emotion into the role. By far the best character, who also got the coolest individual scenes (including the final duel).

3.5*.
