It's difficult to assign responsibility for the most serious of this film's shortcomings, but one thing is clear: somewhere along the way, the creative process misfired.

Reviews for Tombstone
Top CriticHighly stylized fashion-wise but awkwardly unfocused in its plotlines, it aims for the western iconography of Sam Peckinpah and Sergio Leone but never gets past its own directorial hurdles.

Top CriticTaken on its own terms, with some lowered expectations, Western fans will have fun.

...a good, rousing, Wild West adventure yarn.

Tombstone is nothing special, but when it sticks to its guns it generally finds its target.

Top CriticMay not be historically accurate, but offers a lot of punch for the buck. A tough, guilty-pleasure Western.
09/20/03
Most of the movie is above-average, but Val Kilmer's performance is what makes it a must-see.
08/08/02
Dated and flawed, but super cool for Val Kilmer's brilliant performance as Doc Holiday.
11/04/07
Kilmer is as legendary as the Doc he plays.
