Leave your thoughts about Wyatt Earp.
| Boston GlobeJay CarrWyatt Earp's attempts to cover so many years lead to too many scenes with little emotional power. The film doesn't shoot blanks, and it is better than Tombstone, but, considering the names involved, a little disappointment isn't out of the question. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackAs a mindless popcorn shootout, Wyatt Earp is highly watchable. But this three-hour drama, starring Kevin Costner as the straight-shooting marshal, takes its time sliding out of the saddle. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyThough handsome to look at (cinematography is by Owen Roizman), the movie is overlong, stately, and too detailed for its own good; director Kasdan claims his version if more accurate, which may be true, but it doesn't make for a good picture. |
| EmpireAngie ErrigoTedious Western, that's a disappointment given the talent involved. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranIt's a rambling, unfocused biography of Wyatt Earp, starting when he's a kid and following his development from an awkward would-be lawyer into a slick gunslinger. This is a long journey, in a three-hour film that needs better pacing. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyA great Western that was unfairly disparaged back in 1994. The authentic Wyatt Earp is actually a much-better film than the pulpier, more-popular Tombstone. |
| Movie MetropolisJohn J. Puccio...hiding in this three-hour-plus extravaganza is a good two-hour movie. Too bad it's so hard to find. |
| TheWorldJournal.comFrank OchiengWell-meaning western yarn starring Costner in the title role but it's too slow-moving and uneven to digest as anything riveting regarding the Wild West. Kasdan's Wyatt Earp definitely ends up shoots blanks |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThis strenuously dark biographical Western plays more like a choppy, self-important miniseries. |
| Austin ChronicleRobert FairesIt all comes off as too sketchy and too obvious, and after 90 minutes, we're bloated with incidents but still hungry for satisfying drama. |
