Tombstone was my first western, and while I know it isn't the most popular or got the best reviews, I did enjoy it. The environment and the setting was the coolest part of the film for me. I loved the way the town looked and how the speech and dress of all of the characters made you feel enveloped in this time period it is set in. The fight scenes were dope. The gunsounds, and stunts were very entertaining. I loved the standoffs and the rivalry between the cowboys and Wyatt's friends as well. The plotline was pretty entertaining, but it wasn't that straightforward as at times it felt like maybe certain scenes served no real purpose and weren't that interesting. The last half of the movie felt a little like a rush. So the aesthetics were awesome. Super encapsulating, pleasing, and entertaining, which is what a good movie should do. Though the appearance and concepts were cool, I feel like it fulfilled every western stereotype and cliche. For a movie coming out at the time it did, I assume that there are many movies VERY similar to this one, and while i enjoyed it, I could tell it copied a lot of other Westerns. I would say I liked it, enjoyed watching it, and would watch it again. I think a western is something I would like to watch while sick, as a comfort movie. I would give it a 8.3/10, as I honestly just had a good experience watching it. If I had seen more westerns before this, I would guess my rating would be lower but I am not certain. My Dad loved this movie, and Mr. H I know you said there was another western you liked more but I forget the name of it (what was it?).
