I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
... View MoreVery very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!
... View MoreAbsolutely brilliant
... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreThis was a splendid film produced on a low budget. Kilmer in an unfamiliar role, performs magnificently. Otherwise, a straight forward contemporary western without any political angle. The scenes are real and mostly shot on location, which always makes for a good western. The surprise ending seals it all. A good story never told, and most enjoyable.
... View MoreDisappointing to say the least. I had troubles with this one right from the start. Val Kilmer looked like his face was swollen from a tooth ache. His moustache was almost laughable. Surely there were other choices. Was his hat to be worn throughout the entire interview? After all, they were inside. The whole bunch of Earp's companions had to be brought into it and they were. Do Holliday appeared to be a half crazed sadist loving to inflict pain. The screaming of his patients, both dental and medical, were memorable. Extracting bullets from bellies seemed no more difficult than removing a tooth from the mouth. Romantic flashbacks and frequent gun play didn't help this baby. Nothing could.
... View MoreFor very good reason, copies of this on DVD are selling for around A$2 on eBay. The parts of Val Kilmer retelling the story weren't too bad - it was the parts that showed the story that were just awful. It didn't flow at all and jumped around too much to be able to relate to any of it. There's no other way to describe the acting than shocking. I've seen better acting at school plays than was on show here. I'd love to know how much these people were being paid for their roles. If it's anything significant then I'm downing tools and becoming an actor because while I may not be better than this lot (Kilmer excluded), I couldn't be worse.The actual premise of the story in itself isn't a bad one and having done some research on it is quite an interesting tale. The way it's portrayed in Wyatt Earp's Revenge is just terrible. I wouldn't have been surprised if Rob Schneider popped in for a cameo it was that cringe worthy.Kilmer was good, the rest not even worth bothering with.
... View MoreThe direction and (with the exception of Mr Kilmer) the acting in this movie are so badly done it honestly felt like a fan fiction. While it was interesting and even entertaining to see Val Kilmer play Wyatt Earp, there is nothing else even remotely redeeming about this movie.There were many places where the filmmakers tried desperately to pay homage to the 1993 movie Tombstone. Even going as far as having characters from both movies say similar lines and using Michael Sherayko, the actor who played Texas Jack Vermillion in Tombstone, in a small role. However, it fails miserably.I would rank this one right up there with Showgirls, Highlander:The Source and Bloodrayne:Third Reich.
