Summary: Epic movie making
Comment: In my humble opinion, Tombstone is one of the best westerns made. I wasn't looking for a history lesson, I can watch the history channel for that. I was looking for movie entertainment at it's hyperbolic best. Every character; the good, the bad, the ugly are over the top. This movie is fun. I watched Kevin Costner's Wyatt Earp and was continually yawning. I loved the portrayal of Curly Bill in Tombstone, just capital. Ringo is intellectually maniacal. And dear Ike, as dufus as he is, he's practical. This is western mythology and story telling at its best. A factual history lesson, no; a grand cinematic yarn, resoundingly, yes!

Summary: Tombstone the definitive western story
Comment: Becoming if not already a classic tale of Wyatt Earp and his family and friends. Excellent cast and outstanding performances. A truly moving and sometimes shocking view into the "wild" west and beyond.

Summary: Political Correctness In The Old West
Comment: Didn't know how Feministic the women were in the old West, or how open society was to bi-sexuality. Plently of unsubtle dabbling in these themes - although anachronism is part of the B+ movie lexicon.
The best moment comes from the very sensuous, under-appreciated actor Dana Delany: she steps off the Coach as she arrives in town and shares a rapturous, prolonged glance with Kurt Russell (Wyatt Earp). Her close-up is enough to wake Truman Capote (All due respect...).
Val Kilmer does okay as Doc Holliday - I think he might have unconsciously refereced Brando in "Mutiny On The Bounty", but here he seems slighlty less interested in the fairer sex. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Cinematography is excellent and the picture is well-paced.

Summary: Tombstone Director's Cut hits the mark.
Comment: I bought this movie for my father for Father's Day and he absolutely loves it. The features make this DVD a cut above of the already amazing original. I think that as man who grew up watching John Wayne and Clint Eastwood westerns, to say that Tombstone is my dad's favorite western is truly remarkable. It is my favorite as well.
