Wyatt Earp / The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2011)

I bought this set primarily for the 'Jesse James' movie, which is dark, slow paced and cerebral, and features fine acting by Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck. This film may bore you if you are looking for action or plot twists, and you'll know if it's right for you after about the first 15 or so minutes. If you can stick with it, Casey Affleck's smoldering performance is a revelation.

I had not seen "Wyatt Earp" before and it proved to be quite a pleasant surprise. It came out a year after "Tombstone" and wasn't as successful I guess, but this film strikes a good balance between being too violent or too fawning/watered down. It pretty much follows the same main storyline as "Tombstone" with the addition of showing events that mold the younger Wyatt into the man he becomes by the time he arrives at Tombstone.

Dennis Quaid does a good job with the Doc Holliday role, but Val Kilmer's performance will always be more memorable.

The movie clocks in at a bit over three hours, however it never dragged for me.

The cinematography in "Wyatt Earp" is beautiful, and the Blu-ray transfer is excellent there are many dark/shadowy scenes that are rich in detail and have very little or no noise. The frequent daytime panoramas are gorgeous. Warner did a wonderful job here.

If you want to add two very different, good westerns to your Blue-ray collection, this combo set is a steal.

Held off buying this for a long time since Tombstone is my favorite but it was worth watching a more thorough historical account of Wyatt Earp. Haven't watch "The Assassination of Jesse James" yet, but 2 for the price of one is a good deal.

Wyatt Earp is a bit overlong but a well done western..Costner tries to ce real Earp...there are so many stories about the legendary lawman. One isn't sure what to believe...gene hackman is great as earps strict dad.....the other western, with the overlong and thoroughly forgettable title is average at best..Brad Pitt is the films only asset
