Just seen it for the first time last night (Directors Cut version on DVD). Is this movie somewhat historically accurate, or is it mostly hogwash? I don't know, which is why I'm asking.
The acting was pretty good, I was impressed by the actor that played Virgil Earp, and also by the actor that played Doc Holliday. Kurt Russell for some reason did not "feel" or have the look of Wyatt to me though--although he did an okay to decent job IMO.
I was NOT impressed by the way the scenes jumped around and were so choppy. It seemed to me that they rushed in some development areas.
It was nice to see some nice examples of Old West guns though, those ivory gripped pistols Doc had were nice on the eyes. That long barrelled pistol Wyatt carried looked like it would make a good club after the bullets were gone.
I think this movie was slightly above average (2.5 stars), but far from being good. Anyone wish to comment on their opinion of "Tombstone"?
