Average Rating: Rating: - Win, Lose, or Draw Tombstone is a first rate western with a top notch cast! The film tells the story of the now infamous gunfight at the OK corral between the Earps and the Clantons. As well as the events before and after. The film is so much more than the umteenth version of this classic tale. Kurt Russell. Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, and Michael Biehn all give great performances. However, Val Kilmer as "Doc Holiday " gives, I think, the best perfomance of his seasaw career. He lives and breathes the part. Bravo!! Director Cosmatos keeps this one moving at a very nice pace. I even applaud this new cut. At no time does the added footage seem like padding or filler. The script has fully fleshed out its main characters and that translates very well on the screen There are also some minor parts for Billy Zane, Robert Mitchum (Voice Over off camera), and Charlton Heston thrown in too. The new VISTA SERIES 2 disc DVD set has some pretty good extras that make this editon worth a look over the movie only edition. The DOLBY DIGITAL 5.1 mix sounds just awesome and will blow you away. The commentary by Cosmatos is very good and should please you. The "making of" stuff worked better as a single documentary than when it was viewed in sections There is also a neat game and an interactive timeline for viewers to enjoy. The only negative feature for me is the newspaper archive. I expected it to have a better presentation All in all a fine addition to anyone's DVD collection!! Rating: - "Law Don't Go Around Here, Lawdog." Wow! What a movie! You may have seen this epic western before but unless you've watched the Vista Series DVD you haven't seen half of it! There are several new scenes added into the film that makes the movie as a whole more interesting and in-depth. It fills several holes and all and all makes this a better movie. This is of course, an adaption of the historic O.K. Corral old west shootout that took place in Tomstone, Arizona. The plot is perfectly constructed and is next to flawless. The performances are magnificent! Kurt Russell Makes the perfect Wyatt Earp and is totally believable in the role of the famous western lawman. Sam Elliot of TNT fame is cast as his typical old-west sheriff and is very good at playing Wyatt Earp's brother. Bill Paxton in an interesting change of role is cast as another of Wyatt's brothers and is most interesting in the role and pulls it off extremely well. Now, the absolute best performance in this film is given by the incredible Val Kilmer and watching his slyly sarcastic Doc Holliday on the screen makes you incredibly upset that he didn't even get nominated for an academy award which is downright unjust! He is the epitome of cool as he utters such classic lines as, "I'm your huckleberry" or whispering to his girlfriend, "Look Darling, It's Johnny Ringo" at the sight of the infamous outlaw. His accent is so believable it's amazing to think that it's put on! One of the most famous scenes in 'Tombstone' is one in which Val Kilmer's Holliday, after watching gunslinger Johnny Ringo show off by spinning his pistols around, takes two shot glasses and mocks Ringo by duplicating his movements. When viewing one of his other performances, say, his Bruce Wayne character in 'Batman Forever', released the same year as Tombstone, it's amazing to think that this is the same Val Kilmer that played Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Incredibly, Val Kilmer has all but dissapeared from the screen. His last film being the little-seen 'The Salton Sea', released earlier this year. He surely deserves to be a more well known presence on the screen. All in all this is a powerful tale of friendship and justice that should be treasured among the best westerns, in fact, Tombstone is The Best Western ever to grace the screen! Rating: - The law is back in town This 1993 western may have received mixed reviews from critics when it was released, but it has since become a cult classic film that is still great movie that even people who don't like westerns can enjoy. The film is carried at a rather nice pace, and the sublime casting of Val Kilmer as Doc Holiday makes Tombstone work. Kilmer turns in his best performance, while Kurt Russell turns in a near equally great performance as Wyatt Earp. The huge ensemble cast includes Sam Elliot, Bill Paxton, Michael Biehn, Powers Boothe, Dana Delany, Jason Priestly, Billy Zane, Billy Bob Thornton, Michael Rooker, John Corbett, Thomas Haden Church, Stephen Lang, Robert John Burke, Charlton Heston, and the voice of Robert Mitchum in major and supporting roles, along with some great gunfights and brilliant set design all help Tombstone be a feast of the senses. If you already own Tombstone on video or on the older edition DVD, then seriously consider upgrading to this new edition Vista Series DVD set, the extras are great and well put together, and Tombstone is one of the best action films I have ever seen.
