Editorial Review:
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:  - A near flop
When I am asked to sit down and watch an almost four hour movie, I want to be impressed. I was not impressed with Wyatt Earp, though I did enjoy it and would recommend it to others. The film suffers most from Kevin Costner. Here's a guy who has thought it his calling to make a string of 3 to 4 hour movies. Postman, Waterworld, Dances with Wolves, and Wyatt Earp add up to a bunch of time, and a big so what. All of the movies are good and enjoyable, and equally not great.

Rating:  - Wyatt rules!
Although this production goes somewhat flat after the sequence showing Wyatt as a buffalo hunter, the fault lies with the Director for trying too hard to show Earp as suddenly devoid of emotional response and empathy. In this, the movie tries a little too hard to "explain" him. The production is, however, pretty historically accurate and the revisionists don't take over the film completely.
However,the person responsible for deciding to "slick down" Costner's hair, (even when no portraits of ... Read More
Rating: - Exceptional Western
I know there are detractors of both this movie and Kevin Costner but I'm not one of them. It is longer and more historically accurate than Tombstone but just as well made. It also features a more realistically stoic portrayal of Earp by Costner and an "I'm no slouch at playing Doc myself" performance by the unrecognizable Dennis Quaid who would have been the measuring stick had Val Kilmer not been otherwordly as Doc. This film also features a GREAT ensemble cast much like Tombstone and it amazes me ... Read More
Rating: - The Way It Happened
It is refreshing to see a western film done with such objectivity. The characters are real and are all that more interesting to watch because they are represented as family people who, along with performing what would become legendary deeds, are just trying to get through their everyday lives and relationships. I admire Costner's films because he keeps his characters real and leaves the epic filmaking to the cameraman and the landscape he is shooting. It is no wonder that this film is worth seeing ...

Rating: - Really Enjoyed This Hollywood Epic ...
I really enjoyed this, capital 'H', Hollywood historical epic film and fully expect I'll return to it from time to time. Casey
Tefertiller's book 'Wyatt Earp' helped make this epic depiction much more fun for me as I could link and look forward and back on the TONS of missing detail that the film simply hasn't the time to include. For all that, this is an outstanding movie. If you're a western/Tombstone fan, history buff, etc, get your spurs on and spend 3 hours in the 1800's. GREAT film! ... Read More
