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.

Reviews for Wyatt Earp
Beautifully shot and impressively directed, it's an ambitious Western in the classic mold, the kind of film that rarely gets made anymore.

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

Top CriticCostner's still shouting, but it's hard to hear him from all the way back there in 1940.

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.

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

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