I enjoyed the movie overall. A little over-the-top, but still a good flick.
What I loved:
Val Kilmer's acting. I've never seen him act better. Good stuff.
When they first went after the Cowboys, and Earp (I think) jumped through the fucking window, and then killed all the Cowboys there. That was fucking sweet.
The things that really bothered me were:
The wasted shooting on horseback, especially when you couldn't see that they were shooting at anyone. Does this happen in most Westerns?
Kurt Russel's mustache. That was just ridiculous.
The end of the movie, where Wyatt doesn't have to worry about money ever again because his bitch's family is rich, and he's perfectly OK with just mooching and getting room service from her moneys. [Reply]
People want tombstone to be different, I'm sorry but it was a retelling of a real story, you can't just hollywood it up because you want things to be different [Reply]

Charles Bronson to two thugs at the train station there o pick him up: "You brought two horses"

Bronson: "Nope. One too many"
Classic. And one of my all time favorite movies.
Sorry. My "Best of" lists can only contain a single Charles Bronson movie in aggregate. That would be "Top Ten WWII Movies" that would include "The Dirty Dozen." [Reply]

Wow, I'm just not a huge Western fan, but I'm not a complete movie idiot. I've seen Jaws, Rocky (the entire series), and Citizen Kane. I haven't seen The Thing though. I may add it to my list. [Reply]

I was effing with ya.
Actually The thing also stars Curt Russell. It was very well done for the time. If you liked any of the Sci-Fi stuff like The Alien or Predator movies you would probably like it. [Reply]
The action scenes in that movie were much more intense.
Hmmm. I liked 3:10, as well, Mr. BuckinKaeding. In fact, I'm probably one of the few who liked the remake better than the original. However, Tombstone knocks 3:10 in the dirt, ties it to a tree, and jams devastating bacteria up its colon.
