seriously? yes.
I wasn't crazy about it the first time I saw it because I was expecting it to be....I hate to use this word....light hearted, like Tombstone. Nope, Tombstone was not corny but it romanticized the life of Wyatt Earp and The Shootout at the OK Corral. Wyatt Earp is a more of an accurate historical depiction of his life. I love both movies for their different depictions of the characters.
believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

Here is why I like it. It tells the whole story on how Wyatt became a lawman. Dennis Quaid as Doc does a great job. He's not Val Kilmer but actually both did a great job. I remember reading that Quaid lost over 60 pounds to play the part. More then he was suppose to.
It's a long ass movie. Kinda a pattern for a Kevin Costner movie. But I really like it. I'm one of the few on here. But hey I have to stand my ground on this one.

Yes, Quaid lost that much weight for the movie and had to sit down between filming scenes as he was so weak from starving himself for the role.

"Oh, Johnny, I forgot you were there. You may go now."
PissBottleMan will say that Wyatt Earp was the better film and I will say he is wrong.
Come on...Quaid nailed the role. Kilmer was good, but Dennis owned the part.

"We paced ourselves and we didn't rush through it and we tried to be as creative as our collective minds would let us be over some course of time instead of just trying to rush through a record"
I think this is just a ruse to get me to watch the whole thing sometime. It has Costner, how good could it be?
I like Tombstone...I think it's a great flick, but Wyatt Earp shows the evolution of the character.
Plus, you should have affection for this:

for those who say that wyatt earp is more historically accurate, etc...honestly, i just don't care. i didn't see either film for a real history lesson, wasn't looking for a documentary....was looking to be entertained.
of course, all simply differences of opinion, but for ME....kilmer was/is the BEST doc holliday. period.
i also remember the timing of both films in the theatres, and how wyatt earp was supposed to be so brilliant, etc....and i think? overall tombstone did just as well, maybe better? at the box office, and even critically......bit of a draw at best. just sayin'. both really food flicks, but kilmer alone tips the scales for me. as far as earp...i have no love for russell or costner, probably both the weakest links in each film for me.

I like Kilmer...his performance is applauded more because he is more well-liked than Dennis Quaid. You put the performances side-by-side and Randy's brother puts Val to shame.

i completely DISagree. i like both actors, very much so. as i already said, it's obviously subjective opinion. i think kilmer did a better job, and even moreso...i think the part WRITTEN for doc holliday in tombstone was simply a better character than the one in wyatt earp. the only way to truly *judge* either actor would be if they played the exact, identical roles of doc holliday. may be the same historical figure, but quite different figures in each film. i enjoyed tombstone and particularly kilmer, far, far more. that's it. it has NADA to do with *liking* him more. however, i will agree that he is considered a better actor than quaid....and i'd probably have to agree with that assessment. however, quaid is a damn fine actor too. kilmer, to me, is simply a notch above. anyhoooooooo....the ROLE of doc holliday in tombstone was simply far superior imo, thus why i like it and kilmer so much moreso in it.
patrick, you're entitled to your opinion too of course. i can and do politely agree to disagree on such subjective matters.
PBM- I thought you'd like Tombstone better just for the 90210 connection.
