The film spans Earp's life, from his youth, when blood and gore made him deeply uncomfortable, to his role in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral, to his becoming a rigid, by-the-book sheriff. Also dramatized are Earp's relationships with his brothers and their wives, and with loyal friend Doc Holliday, who is dying of tuberculosis. [More]

Emanuel Levy

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.

Chuck O'Leary

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.

Walter Chaw

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

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

Frank Ochieng

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

Turgid and painfully poker-faced, though Dennis Quaid's Doc Holliday is as good as anyone's

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