Blu-ray Reviews of Wyatt Earp [Blu-ray]
Blu-ray Review: Wyatt Would You Buy It?
Summary: 2 Stars
Wyatt Earp is Kevin Costner's bio-pic answer to the film he was originally supposed to star in, Tombstone. It is said that Wyatt Earp is more documentary-like than Hollywood movie. However, at the end of the day, Wyatt Earp fails to entertain or keep the interest of its audience for it ridiculous 3-hour running time.
First off, I have to commend the film for its use of Michael Madsen, Linden Ashby & Mark Harmon in particular. All three actor, while playing smaller roles, all to very well with what they have, putting up some solid performances. The cast is littered with recognizable names, and for the most part, everybody does the best with what they got. Actors like Jeff Fahey are underused, but they're usually still solid. The same can not be said for the main characters, however. Kevin Costner is for better and for worse Kevin Costner, not really doing anything with the character apart from what's on the page, often giving a distractingly tonal difference between the two sides of Wyatt Earp. Gene Hackman phones in a performance that asks little of him than to be wise. And even though he's in the movie a grand total of five minutes, he gets 2nd or 3rd billing. As for Dennis Quaid, he gives one of the most overwrought accents in recent memory with his portrayal of Doc Holiday. Sounding like a cross between the Rooster from the Looney Tunes & Colonel Sanders, Doc Holiday is a black hole of personality thats defining characteristic seems to be his only friendship with Wyatt Earp because he has TB. On his own, Quaid's Doc Holiday isn't that interesting, but compared to Val Kilmer's classic portrayal of Holiday, there isn't even a contest. Kilmer wins by sheer default.
Then there's how to film views women. Every one of the various wives in this film is portrayed as little more than a winy shrew that will steal a gun and fire it at their man if they're the least bit angry. And they happen to be angry a lot. They get mad when Wyatt moves the family asking why 'the brothers need to stick together.' They get mad when Wyatt does what Wyatt does with the "Cowboy" gang. One gets mad when her husband is cheating on her even though they're not technically married. Not to mention the sheer lack of any personality found in Wyatt's other two girlfriends/lovers/wives to begin with.
Then there's the long, drawn-out story. Covering most of the highlights in Earp's life up until Tombstone, the movie has a certain fondness for dropping you in the middle of a situation where nobody seems very happy. They literally jump in time where things are supposed to be better, only to show you that things are not going better. For example, when Earp announces he's moving the family to Tombstone, literally the next scene is the wives complaining that they were moved to Tombstone and thing are the same as they always were, to which one of the brother's respond, "It's not for lack of trying!" Wait, how did you get here again? The movie has a fondness for doing this, leaving very little connection from scene to scene. You're left extremely confused about Earp before & after the Tombstone incident. Why is everybody mad at the guy? Why did he "pick" the fight anyways? In fact, general lack of cohesion makes this movie an overall frustrating watch.
Overall, with shoddy stunts, writing, story, motive, main characters, and other problems with most everything else, Wyatt Earp is a forgettable mess that's not the epic the movie is advertised as, unless they meant epically bad and uninteresting. As a stand-alone film, it doesn't work. When compared to Tombstone, it's wiped off the floor in almost every respect.
