The popularity of this movie continues to astound me. As much as I dislike Kevin Costner, his "Wyatt Earp", while still not perfect, is altogether a more historically accurate portrayal of the real events depicted in the film. There are just some films that take themselves so seriously while totally mangling any chance of believability, they leave me alternating between laughing out loud and wanting to throw things through the screen. This is one, "Armageddon" is another.OTOH, if you liked westerns in the 50's where nothing was even remotely realistic, this might be your cup of tea. All style, no substance...
