Von der strengen Hand des Vaters wird Wyatt Earp zum gottesfürchtigen und rechtschaffenen Mann erzogen, für den die Familie der zentrale Lebensinhalt ist. Als seine erste Frau während ihrer Schwangerschaft an Typhus stirbt, ergibt sich Wyatt dem Alkohol und schlägt sich als Büffeljäger durch. Nachdem er diese Lebenskrise mit Mühe gemeistert hat, wird er zum Sheriff gewählt und sorgt, gemeinsam mit seinen Brüdern und Doc Holliday, mit eiserner Hand für Gesetz und Ordnung - und wird nebenbei als Glücksspieler zum reichen Mann.

Wyatt Earp - Das Leben einer Legende Rezensionen & Wertungen

Jeremiah29. Juni 2025
Plays out like a Wikipedia article on Wyatt Earp. A series of episodic keynotes paragraphs on his life with little connective tissue tying them together with a ridiculous 3 hour runtime. Dennis Quaid is almost unrecognizable doing his own thing on Doc Holliday that is brash and gruff and in the very least sets it apart from Val Kilmer’s soft-spoken, gentle, and stylistically earnest take. I didn’t mind it but definitely prefer Kilmer’s, if for anything that it’s just way more memorable. Everyone else is almost a non-character. Never getting all that much to do beyond their standard tropes. Gene Hackman’s 15 min of screen time are noteworthy, giving us that Gene-reliable acting class. But yeah. Not much else is really to be said about almost any character. In Tombstone (the movie), practically every bad guy is memorable and way more defined. In this one I honestly couldn’t even tell you who was who, and because of Tombstone I’m very familiar with who they are and their names. By far the film’s biggest problem though is Kevin Costner. Whom the film hinges everything on. He shows up playing a 20-year-old version of his character, which is hilarious as the actor is 38 (I looked it up) and it’s sooooo apparent. Here he’s giving his best gee golly, proper and gentleman version of the character before a tragedy sets him in a spiral and he comes out on the other side stoic and matter-of-fact. So stoic it gets so boring and so repetitive and so uninteresting. Costner isn’t really known for his range but damn, his range in 95% of this leans 1 degree off-center in either direction at the most. And because of that he comes off as almost a non-personality in a movie that’s all about his character. It’s pretty hard not to compare this to Tombstone (the movie) as it came out almost the same time and covers the same subject. Everything about Tombstone works, its colorful cast of characters that are fleshed out and memorable. Its focus on a snapshot in Earp’s life. Its grandiose dialogue and character interactions, characters having. Its great action and just a general air of macho badassery, next to Predator I feel Tombstone is one of the most macho badass movies ever. But even still, its human element is still way better even, Kurt Russell plays Earp like an actual human with feeling and range. All the side characters are distinctive and memorable. Wyatt Earp (the movie) has almost none of that, it’s competent in many ways but as a whole it falls flat as just being a decent movie. And it’s nuts to think that anyone might feel this is better than Tombstone (but you know they exist, those rubes.)
