Val Kilmer would go on to become three Doc Hollidays. "I'm your huckleberry...and your blueberry, and elderberry, and raspberry, and strawberry, and boysenberry, and bilberry, and dewberry, and cranberry, and gooseberry, and jostaberry, and loganberry, and marionberry, and olallieberry, and youngberry. VAL GOT SO FAT.

There's a fine amount of entertainment to be had from watching Russell and company's moustaches dispense hirstute justice. The villains are villainous and comeuppences juicy. Kilmer has a blast as Doc Holliday, stealing every scene he's in. I suspect that this isn't historically accurate, it's a bit daft, and it drags a bit in places, but is definitely worth a look.

A bunch of Very Manly Men that are a little wasted on a bland script. Seeing a perma-sweaty Kilmer ham it up is glorious, but the plot is never exciting or refreshing. It's just so... so... nineties that it feels like a Western variation of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

This movie is, simply put, "bad ass." The acting is bad ass, the cast is bad ass, the dialog is bad ass, the story is bad ass, historical accuracy is set aside if it means this film can be more bad ass. I suppose this could be bad if you're not into that sort of thing but if you are then this is essential viewing. If you're not a huge western fan then this is one to see to get you eased into the genre. Definitely worth seeing.
4	Ytadel	6 _70th
A really fun if occasionally a hair over the top Western, full of violence, oozing with testosterone, and featuring an impressive who's-who array of many of the most masculine of masculine actors from the last two decades, from then-living legends to stars of the 80s and 90s to current stars who then featured in minor roles. Val Kilmer arguably towers over them all and delivers a wicked entertaining performance as Doc Holliday.

This was the anti-Unforgiven. The mythos of the Wild West are in full swing with big name stars. Elliott gave the best performance, Russell was fine, and Kilmer was like Johnny Depp. The romance seemed unnecessary and I even found troublingly myself tuning out whenever a woman was speaking, usually in self-righteous indignation. That's how macho manly this movie was. Powerful music. Drawn out ending after OK Corral. Fav scenes: shootout at OK Corral; fiery background; Elliott kicking ass.

Best. Mustaches. EVER. One of the last truly great westerns.

I'm your huckleberry.

Kilmer is the reason to see this film. I'm not a big fan of Russell as Wyatt. Michael Biehn is strong as Johnny Ringo. The film can be a bit cheesy and drags in places. Works best as an action movie. The romance tends to be a little flat. Overall a good movie but could have been better.
3	Paxton	94 _98th
Does it help that I was named after Wyatt Earp? Yes it does. Val Kilmer could have walked away from film a legend after this one. Now he'll have to settle for waddling away a legend.

[Thoroughly examines cast list] There's just no way... [Watches the film with wide-eyed enthusiasm] SHUT THE #$&% UP! HOLY SHIT!!! WT#$@&%* [ERROR 404: CRITICKER USER NOT FOUND]
2	KasperL	80 _86th
Good western with an awesome cast and some outstanding lines.
2	Luna6ix	87 _93rd
I have NEVER seen a bad movie with Val Kilmer, but this has Billy Zane, Kurt Russell, Charlton Heston, and Thomas Haden Church. Together it's like a super-friends of awesome western-ness.
2	omgfridge	8 _80th
"Tombstone" is so cool that when one of the characters is drunk and seeing double, he pulls out a second gun to hit both targets. Everything related to this is certified bad ass.
2	Yiannos	53 _31st
A 90's star driven vehicle set in the west 'just because'. It features characters based on real people, but Russell's Earp may as well be called Billy Bob Joe because this film has nothing to do with the real Earp or Doc, nor is it an act of creative historical mythologisation like My Darling Clementine. It's a rote pop western saddled with a mediocre script featuring an inexplicably long first act that goes absolutely nowhere. The moustaches act well, but it's ultimately unremarkable.
1	fudgieb	96 _91st
What a classic. I could probably watch this movie once a year and not get sick of it.
1	bentley82	88 _82nd
Best Western I've personally ever seen.
1	spoonerspot	90 _97th
Another movie critics didn't like but Val Kilmer plays a most excellent Doc Holliday. Sam Elliot was born too late. He should have been a real life cowboy. Kurt Russell is an effective Wyatt and Dana Delaney is beautiful
1	lrampartl	48 _27th
Val Kilmer and the bad guys were great, the rest was just kind of there. Unforgiven is much, much better at actual character development and meaningful scenes. Watch that instead.
1	GravyMaximus	80 _84th
If I was asked to accurately describe Tombstone in one word, it would surely be "badass". Everything about it is badass. The acting, the action, the moustaches, the dialogue. It can be over-the-top and brazen at times, but that only adds to the effect. YOU TELL 'EM I'M COMIN'... AND HELL'S COMIN' WITH ME, YOU HEAR? HELL'S COMIN' WITH ME!
1	Alex Watkins	4 _70th
Totally feels like it's playing dress-up, but when everybody is having this much fun, who cares? Killer cast, lush cinematography, fantastic production design, and Val Kilmer stealing the show at every turn (if you made a top ten list of lines of dialogue from this film, he'd have delivered every single one).
1	brando814	89 _85th
One of the last Great American Epics, full of piss and vinegar and great performances and even though Val Kilmer is a primadonna it's refreshing to be reminded that he is actually good enough to be able to get away with a tantrum.
1	Dustyd	80 _89th
Imperfect but well cast and entertaining western.
1	oolookitty	80 _58th
See it for Val Kilmer's witty performance.
1	andayb	50 _27th
Somewhat comedic, overacted and "too hollywood", tombstone fails to deliver the true Wild West spirit (see Deadwood series for that.) Nevertheless ensemble cast and some nice action redeems the movie, while Val "I'm your huckleberry" Kilmer plays the best role in his acting career and steal every scene he's in. Not a classic but worth watching.
1	WWallce4prez	72 _51st
Take Kilmer out of this and, plane and simple, it isn't good. Okay, maybe not that far, but most of Tombstone is almost a good film, but a little too contrived and silly. Seriously, I wish this film was amazing, but it isn't. Better than Wyatt Earp, but nothing special.
1	Piglet	70 _59th
Kilmer's Doc Holiday is by far the best part.
1	SirStuckey	90 _94th
This was one of the 5 or so VHS tapes of adult movies that my family owned when I was a kid. As such I love it, maybe even a little more than it deserves. Kilmer is at his best as Doc Holliday. Russell is fun as are most of the cowboys. This is maybe the most quotable Western I've ever seen. Just writing this review makes me want to go watch it again.
1	Astrophizz	75 _50th
Stereotypical western with some bright spots (like Kilmer's outlandish performance). Goes on for too long IMO. How many times to they have to encounter that one stupid member of that gang who incites every conflict?
1	eyebrow	82 _58th
A fun, stylish Western. Sam Elliott is great, but Val Kilmer steals the show as Doc Holliday
1	ludvigsen	60 _37th
Visually its up there with the best of them, and initially it does take a refreshing approach to the laws and lawgivers of the west. This is all but pretty much forgotten by the third act though, with a overly extended hunt for some bad guys the film failed to establish in the first place. Kilmer as Holliday is the star of the show, with Russell (and Cosmatos) never letting us properly inside the head of Earp.
1	dunbar	80 _73rd
Although this movie isn't the smoothest ride, wobbling a bit in the saddle when it comes to a coherent structure or comfortable pool of characters, it is still a lot of fun and highly entertaining. Aside from Val Kilmer's brilliant performance, it's the Earp's mustaches that do the most work in this film. And my do those mustaches work... mmmm.
1	glumpy_99	88 _78th
Splashy and entertaining western is a high spirited call back to vintage entries of the genre (with at least a couple of stalwarts around in cameos), flecked with some "modern" brutality and performances; Russell is fine as the square-jawed Earp but Kilmer steals it as a supremely eccentric Doc Holliday. Certainly not a thoughtful or insightful experience, but a lot of fun and impressively staged and mounted by credited director Cosmatos.
1	Onac	72 _75th
It's hard to believe that everything in the movie has acutally happened. I put a bit of research into it, and to my surprise it seems to me that this is indeed the true story of Wyatt Earp's life. It's daunting to even consider that the atmosphere depicted in the first half of the movie was the actual life of the people in the period. The second part is somewhat weaker. There are a lot of parts where people are merely shooting at each other in long scenes, but overall it's still a solid movie.
1	Jimmy Suede	90 _93rd
I liked this when it was first released, being young and into gunfighters. I feel more discerning now and was prepared for fun cheese when I re-watched it. But I found it to be a very good film and a reasonably accurate adaptation of the Earp story. Add in Val Kilmer as Doc and you have a winner.
