I watched this show twice and yeah, i agree that it was kinda long and slightly long-winded. However, it was a good movie overall. The acting was quite effective. Kevin Costner did a decent job as Wyatt Earp and did what was necessary to play the legendary lawman. I was especially impressed with Dennis Quaid who played Doc Holliday. I couldn't recognise him at first but realized that he had actually lost 20 lbs to play Doc, and did it brilliantly. I am sure not many can argue on this point. Gene Hackman was also useful as Nicholas Earp. This movie relates more to Wyatt Earp's life compared to Tombstone, which is more on the gunfights and conflict. Thus, it is unfair to compare these two films with each other. To be honest, Wyatt Earp was an interesting movie which deserves more credit than is given. Even if not for the long and rather slow-moving storyline, I'm sure a many out there have to agree that the acting was quite outstanding. Direction was also decent enough. 6/10?? Crap. It deserves at least a 7.
