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. Full Review |

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.

Costner's still shouting, but it's hard to hear him from all the way back there in 1940. Full Review |

...hiding in this three-hour-plus extravaganza is a good two-hour movie. Too bad it's so hard to find. Full Review |

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 blanks

Bloated and unexciting, but Quaid is tremendous
|

|
Turgid and painfully poker-faced, though Dennis Quaid's Doc Holliday is as good as anyone's

"Tombstone" did it better, but

A parabolic sagebrush saga about this legendary figure in the Wild West. Full Review |
