Plot: Directed by Lawrence Kasdan, this epic version of the legendary western sheriff-gunslinger's life story stars Kevin Costner as Earp, who lived from 1848 to 1929. Growing up on a farm in Iowa, Earp tries to run away to join the Union Army in the Civil War, but he is turned away because of his youth. Instead, he studies law and marries Urilla Sutherland (Annabeth Gish). But Urilla dies of typhoid fever before they can have children. Earp grows despondent and descends into drinking and petty thievery, but his father Nicholas (Gene Hackman) finds him, sobers him up, and sets him straight. Earp becomes a buffalo hunter and a close companion of Bat Masterson (Tom Sizemore) and his brother Ed (Bill Pullman). With his brothers, Virgil (Michael Madsen) and Morgan (Linden Ashby), Earp sets out to clean up the violence-plagued towns of the old West -- by using his own guns to settle scores. Earp takes up with Mattie Blaylock (Mare Winningham), a drug addict and prostitute, then discards her for actress Josie Marcus (Joanna Going). In Tombstone, Arizona, the Earp brothers and their comrade Doc Holliday (Dennis Quaid), who is plagued by tuberculosis and a compulsion for gambling, meet their match in a ruthless gang led by Ike Clanton (Jeff Fahey). ~ Michael Betzold, All Movie Guide

Rating depends on your like of the movie itself
Added 10/20/2009

The rating you will give this movie will depend almost solely on your like of Kevin Costner and the Wyatt Earp (Cowboy) saga. I give it 4 stars because I'm a Costner fan and I love the Earp Cowboy story. I just can't give a good Cowboy tale less than four starts. I would give City Slickers 4 starts, cause I love Billy Crystal...
Now, is this movie anywhere as good as Tombstone... I say no way... Yes it does go way more indepth into who Wyatt Earp is and where he came from but Kevin Costner is just not good enough to overpower the great supporting cast in "Tombstone"
I think Costner is a way better actor, therefore, he gets the nod over Kurt Russell in Tombstone, but Val Kilmer is what puts Tombstone over the top... His role in Tombstone is classic and leagues better than Dennis Quad in the Wyatt Earp film.

From a Blu-Ray perspective it really all depends on how much you are paying attention. Is it as explosive and as ALIVE as a BLU-RAY cartoon movie or GLADIATOR... NO. But, is it horrible, NO. It's an improvement on the standard DVD and that is what your paying for so I have no complaints. Would I buy this movie on BLU-RAY if I already have Wyatt Earp on Standard DVD... No... But I can say that for any movie I have already...

Best Wyatt Earp Movie
Added 9/12/2009

I expected this to be something like Tombstone but it wasn't anything like it at all, I like both of these movies but if I where to choose it would be this one due to the fact that this one tells almost the whole story of Wyatt Earp and how he became famous. I would recommend this movie to anyone that is a fan of Wyatt Earp.
