    Dated and flawed, but super cool for Val Kilmer's brilliant performance as Doc Holiday.

    It has problems — a LOT of problems — but as bubblegum westerns go, there's also a lot to like.

    Excellent western that's eminently rewatchable.

    Kilmer is as legendary as the Doc he plays.

    May not be historically accurate, but offers a lot of punch for the buck. A tough, guilty-pleasure Western.
