Wyatt Earp

I really enjoyed this film even though it was much longer then I thought it was going to be (over 3 hours). The film seemed like a combination of Wyatt's early life before he became the iconic bad ass we know him as today and the movie Tombstone. In his early years Wyatt avoided violence and guns but after holding his first gun everything changed. Throughout the film he became more aggressive/bad ass the farther into the west he traveled. He was a lawman for many different territories and kept moving from one to the next trying to tame the wild west towns to be more civilized. As soon as he finished taming the town by kicking the "bad guys" ass, cleaning up the drunk miners, and establishing laws he would move onto the next town. As much as he moved around Wyatt and his family were always trying to settle down and make some money by being business men or miners. They failed because the need for justice always pushed the Earps to become lawmen and protect their family. The movie had the famous shoot out at the OK Corral, but I thought the way it was depicted in the film was extremely anticlimactic. I didn't like this gunfight because everyone standing about ten feet away from each other shooting and yet still missing each other. Maybe I didn't like one of the most famous gunfights in the west because I was just praying that the movie was getting close to the end. All in all if you want to watch this movie be prepared to clear your entire night to watch an all star cast.
