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]

I thought the scenes where they were shooting the Cowboys off the horse were dumb. I would have preferred a couple of actual scenes of them going into saloons oir hideouts and shooting them.
I also thought the music was way over the top at points. And I thought it had a little too much of that 1990's shine and polish on it. It was too slick for a western. It was ok, Kilmer was great, but it was nowhere near the top of the list when it comes to westerns.
You were disappointed because they shot cowboys off horses instead of shooting cowboys inside a saloon?
And it didn't impress me all that much. Good movie, not better than Tombstone.
To each his own.

Sometimes you sound like a Charger fan.

Thats strange. I better get checked at the doctors.

Tombstone IMO is the best western I've ever seen. Certainly the most entertaining.
Though theres this new western coming out soon (forget the name) that I really wanna see.
Well, I don't think it was bad, but thats just me. Ben Foster was ridiculously good in that movie.

Holy Pink Fuzzy Boas. Sometimes I wonder what some of you guys were fed as children. Jesus.

I'd recommend each of these posters take some HGH and report to a strip club immediately. [Reply]

All I said was that his mustache was "RIDICULOUS." Once again Mr. FAX, you are pulling a media move and putting words in my mouth. [Reply]

I'm confused. The real Earp had a ridiculous moustache (by today's standards), so what do you expect?
If they had a movie about Hitler, do you expect him to be cleanshaven because nobody has that kind of moustache anymore either? [Reply]

I'm sorry, Mr. EyePod, but I'm not talking to you until you go to a doctor and get yourself checked for Y chromosomes.

Back in those days, it was fashionable for real men who shot bad guys for breakfast to sport that kind of mustache. It kept the blood spatter off their teeth. But I guess I shouldn't expect this generation of body shavers to understand that.
