Tombstone Ratings & Reviews
- blood7003d agoIt is a tad bit slow in the beginning, but otherwise certainly a masterpiece of the western genre.
- Guy Peters4d agoA Rare Gem in Modern Western Filmmaking Tombstone (1993) stands as a shining rarity in modern Western cinema; a film that not only respects the legacy of the genre but reinvigorates it with style, grit, and unforgettable performances. In an era when Westerns were considered relics of the past, Tombstone boldly saddled up and delivered a compelling, character-driven story that’s equal parts action, drama, and mythmaking. Kurt Russell’s portrayal of Wyatt Earp is commanding and grounded, but it’s Val Kilmer’s Doc Holliday that steals the show; equal parts tragic, hilarious, and lethal. Kilmer’s performance is arguably one of the most iconic in modern Westerns, delivering lines that are endlessly quotable and layered with nuance. The film’s atmosphere is immersive, thanks to stunning cinematography, a hauntingly effective score, and attention to period detail. Director George P. Cosmatos crafts a world that feels lived-in and dangerous, where law and chaos clash in dusty streets and saloons with cinematic ferocity. What makes Tombstone truly rare is its commitment to the spirit of the classic Western while embracing a modern sensibility. It doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel; it sharpens it. It’s operatic without being melodramatic, nostalgic without being stale, and entertaining without sacrificing depth. In short, Tombstone isn’t just a great Western of the 1990s; it’s one of the last great Westerns of the modern era. A cult classic that deserves its place alongside the legends it depicts.
- sKRxPTidMarch 12, 2025This movie is more than "OK". Sorry new-gens. This is the greatest post-Eastwood modern Western starring some of Hollywood's best in their prime during the greatest entertainment decade in history. "I'll be your Huckleberry..." 9.3/10
- RichMediaJune 26, 2025A purebred Daisy from my childhood. ‘You tell ‘em I’m coming, and hell’s coming with me!’ A forever classic.
- Gene CapmanApril 7, 2025My hypocrisy only goes so far...
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025"Tombstone" is firmly rooted in the western mythos for its framework. Kilmer's Holliday is a pleasure to watch as he positively impacts every scene he graces.
- James TangApril 23, 2025This movie is a rare case where the whole is lesser than the sum of its parts. Which is fine, because it has so many great parts. Val Kilmer absolutely kills it as Doc Holiday. There are arguably too many characters and parts where the movie drags, but I can't bring myself to give it less than 4 stars because of how many iconic lines/scenes this movie has.
- DoggesAndCattesApril 17, 20254 out 5 star because Wyatt Earp could have exacted even more righteous revenge but didn't.
- AngusMcNutzDecember 21, 2024Perfectly mediocre with only a handful of strong moments. Shame though, Val's near-flawless performance might have finally gotten him an Oscar nod if the rest of the film wasn't so heavy-handed around him.
- Doc HolidaeApril 2, 2025Many people assume that I chose my nickname because of Styles P, but the real inspiration comes from this movie, it's where I decided to call myself "Doc Holidae". It's spelled differently, of course, but 'Tombstone' is my all-time favorite Western of all-time, and Doc Holliday is one of my favorite characters (second only to The Joker)... I’m your huckleberry! 😉 Still think that's one of the coolest scenes in movie history... R.I.P. Val Kilmer!
- ljdavis1983April 6, 2025A collection of quality actors doing a superb job. Weather you believe the movie is fact or fiction its a wonderfully made piece of cinema.
