Turgid and painfully poker-faced, though Dennis Quaid's Doc Holliday is as good as anyone'sAugust 20, 2002
A parabolic sagebrush saga about this legendary figure in the Wild West.July 27, 2004
Costner's still shouting, but it's hard to hear him from all the way back there in 1940.May 31, 2003
Well-meaning western yarn starring Costner in the title role but it's too slow-moving and uneven to digest as anything riveting regarding the Wild West. Kasdan's Wyatt Earp definitely ends up shoots blanksJanuary 25, 2006
A great Western that was unfairly disparaged back in 1994. The authentic Wyatt Earp is actually a much-better film than the pulpier, more-popular Tombstone.January 05, 2003
Bloated and unexciting, but Quaid is tremendousJune 01, 2004
...hiding in this three-hour-plus extravaganza is a good two-hour movie. Too bad it's so hard to find.September 20, 2002
"Tombstone" did it better, butDecember 21, 2006
Though handsome to look at (cinematography is by Owen Roizman), the movie is overlong, stately, and too detailed for its own good; director Kasdan claims his version if more accurate, which may be true, but it doesn't make for a good picture.July 25, 2002
Beautifully shot and impressively directed, it's an ambitious Western in the classic mold, the kind of film that rarely gets made anymore.
