Tombstone was a lively piece of entertainment and Val Kilmer made a great Doc Holiday...again from the entertainment point of view.

"Wyatt Earp" with Kevin Costner was a far more realistic and accurate story of Wyatt Earp's life, and I think it's a very underrated movie...precisely because it went more for reality instead of for Hollywood action entertainment. My compliments to Mr Costner for that.

Either movie (Wyatt Earp or Tombstone) is just fine if you take it on its obvious merits and don't expect it to deliver exactly what the other one does.

People are so fond of picking on Kevin Costner unnecessarily, in my opinion, that I think they ought to form a national club of nitpickers and award gold stars to the people who come up with the nastiest critique of him at meetings, then all go out in the parking lot and have a circle jerk together afterward.
