Richard Harrington Washington Post (Top Critic)

Highly 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.

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.

A spectacular and well acted bit of Western cinema and sadly one in an endangered genre species...

Sports pretty much everything one would want in a Western, and though it's not always eminently artful, it is rarely anything less than entertaining. [Blu-ray]

Ryan Cracknell Movie Views

One of the finest Westerns to come along since the genre decided largely to pack up and ride into the sunset several decades ago.

Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid

It has an energetic flow, and a genuinely rugged, exciting feel, unlike many of the more bloated, picturesque examples of the Western genre.

It takes a lot more than the passage of time to value Tombstone. Naps, earplugs, and possibly tremendous amounts of alcohol also assist in the proper digestion of the feature.

Dated and flawed, but super cool for Val Kilmer's brilliant performance as Doc Holiday.

It has problems - a LOT of problems - but as bubblegum westerns go, there's also a lot to like.

May not be historically accurate, but offers a lot of punch for the buck. A tough, guilty-pleasure Western.
