Which one did a better job?

XDConvert9mm · 03-01-2008, 10:17 PM

I think Val Kilmer nailed it.

Up to 15-0 so far, that's a good run!

Kilmer was too "nice." Quaid nailed the cantankerous side of Doc to a tee.

ETA: BTW, I think "Wyatt Earp" is a better movie than "Tombstone," even though I have seen "Tombstone" so many times I can quote the lines.

+1. I was thinking the same thing. Both are good movies, but I prefer Wyatt Earp and Dennis Quaids performance better myself.

Tombstone had some of the most accurate firearms and costuming ever put in a Western. The storyline, while not as in-depth as Wyatt Earp, was also the most historically accurate representation of what happened at the "OK Corral". While I personally don't care for Kilmer, his performance as Holliday was exemplary.

Kilmer by a long shot.

I like both movies and watch them regularly.

Tombstone did a good job of telling the story surrouding the events leading up to and after the shootout at the OK Corral.

Wyatt Earp did a good job of doing what it's title made it seem like it would do. Tell the story of how and why Earp wound up like he did in Tombstone.

Val Kilmer and his twirling the drinking cup after Ringo did his show. It was funny. I think both did a good job and liked Kilmer just a little more.
