This massive, in-depth study of the dark Western icon comes off with mixed results. Trying to capture the whole life, (warts and all) of the lawman-criminal-brother-fortune hunter, director Lawrence Kasdan gains points for sheer scale, giving us a rich epic painted in dark colors with gritty settings. But the visual poetry and extensive foreshadowing ruin the dramatic drive. Some scenes have as much impact as stalker movies; you're just waiting for someone to get knocked off. As Earp, Kevin Costner is not afraid to look rumpled and play colorlessly (as in The Bodyguard), but it saps the energy of this 3-hour-plus film. The only relief is Dennis Quaid as a droll Doc Holiday, a much more engaging character. New faces Linden Ashby and Joanna Going (as an Earp brother and a lover, respectively) are solid finds, though the remainder of the female cast is barely given anything to do. Best is the first half, with Costner, as hip as he was in his Silverado days, going through a series of ups and downs until he accidentally finds his profession. Great set design (Ida Random) utilizes dozens of similar settings that always look distinctive. Recommended to fans of the star and the genre, but the story never justifies its length. --Doug Thomas

Rating:  - Kasdan divulges something interesting.
In a recent interview on the "Director's" series onTV, Lawrence
Kasdan noted that Kevin Costner was already well into production on
this "series", when he asked Kasdan to come on as Director. Costner
was preparing a mini-series for HBO of "Earp", and, when that fell
through he needed help in reshaping it as a movie. Kasdan did what
he could, but it was too late to do very much in the way of cutting
the series down. Other: I love this film, and I love the fact ... Read More
Rating:  - Wyatt Earp with Kevin Costner
This movie is more a biography of Wyatt Earp than a simple retelling of the OK Corral shootout story.It starts with the lead-in to the OK Corral, then flashes back to Wyatt as a young boy planning to run away to fight in the civil war with his two older brothers.It shows Wyatt as taking over leadership of the Earp brothers and as a frustrated businessman along with the many things Wyatt did to end up a lawman-gunfighter.The defining event in his life in the movie is the loss of his wife, which ...

Rating: - Wyatt Earp
Wyatt Earp came out around the same time as Tomb Stone.It seemed that Tomb Stone over shadowed Wyatt Earp for some reason but I much preferred Wyatt Earp.Dennis Quad is a much better Doc Holiday than Val Kilmer.In fact, as much as I like Kilmer him being Doc Holiday was one of the things that kept Tomb Stone from appealing to me.On the other hand, Quad's Doc Holiday is one of Wyatt Earp's strong points.Kostner is excellent in this role.He is able to show Wyatt's personality changes throughout ...

Rating:  - Flawed ...but flawed
Among the unintentional laughs was the dramatic walk to the OK Corral by the Earps and Doc Holliday.This should have been released as a comedy.
Another flawed, but still excellent, version of the Earps was "Tombstone."
Rating: - EXCELLENT BLU RAY WESTERN
I purchased this blu ray DVD.......... Afterrenting it from Netflix...
I could not believe the pristine picture quality........and surround sound this wonderful remastered movie has to offer......1080P really shines with this movie.......If you enjoy quality somewhat factual movies..........Kostner.........really shines in this one......make this part of your Bluray Collection.........you wont be sorry>>>>>>>
