this movie be quite a bit different than 1993 tombstone . obviously it focus on wyatt earp and more than anything . this movie paint quite a different picture of earp than tombstone do . it depict him in a much different light . kevin costner portrayal of earp be much different than kurt russel in tombstone . i think i like russel portrayal a bit more . dennis quaid portrays doc holliday and and his portrayal be much different than val kilmer in tombstone . i actually like val kilmer performance well and and i like his character more . quaid do a good job though . the support cast be also very good . another big difference between this movie and tombstone and be that this movie be very deliberately pace and and more in depth . the story be much deep . there be not that much action and and some may be turn of by the length of the movie at over 3hrs . but if you can view it a character study and you might enjoy it . one thing i really like rise the musical score . i find it very rouse and poetic . for me and wyatt earp be a positive .
