About this movie

Kevin Costner plays the most famous lawman ever to stride the Wild West. In a gritty, complex portrayal hailed as a "classic American performance" (Bob Campbell, Newhouse Newspapers), Academy Award winner Costner (Dances with Wolves, The Bodyguard) plays the man who became a myth in acclaimed director Lawrence Kasdan's (The Big Chill, Silverado) epic, action-filled saga. Gene Hackman, an Oscar winner for Unforgiven, as Wyatt's iron-willed father, and Dennis Quaid (The Big Easy, The Right Stuff) as Earp's deadly best friend Doc Holliday add power to this mammoth, hard-hitting Western. From Wichita to Dodge City to the O.K. Corral in Tombstone, Arizona, Wyatt Earp is a thrilling journey of romance, adventure and desperate, heroic action.

Came out about the same time as Tombstone and ended up a bit overshadowed. It's a bit long but worth the effort. Coster has gone for a more accurate look at the period and character's. His portrayal of Earp is rather unlikeable coming across as a selfish and driven man. Dennis Quaid plays Doc Holliday whose ill health is shown very well here (Kilmer was a bit too buff in the other one) also good are Michael Madsen and JoBeth Williams. Well worth a look

Some people don't really like it. But I think it's great. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon when you just want a sofa day

Slow laborious and only made it half way though before fell asleep.
