Ratings and reviews

Good movie if you can overlook the many historical mistakes (some of them huge mistakes). One of the most laughable is having Doc as an MD doing surgery then having him die at the ok corral wearing no boots (he died in a sanatorium a long time later with no boots). Another is having Virgil dying before the fight (when he didn't die in Tombstone at all). There are just too many things wrong but still it's an entertaining movie with an authentic feel to the look of it. So if you can ignore the mistakes it's worth watching and considered by many a classic.

The movie and acting is fine, but what the hell is this story based on, exactly? This is NOT the historical account of these people at all. This story is so far out of left field i stopped watching half-way in.

Watch and learn what makes for eternity!
