I do have to say -- and I don't even mean to be overly diplomatic -- that both WYATT EARP and TOMBSTONE are among my favorite scores by James Newton Howard and Bruce Broughton. I really don't favor either one over the other. I think TOMBSTONE is more kick-ass, WYATT EARP is more epic, but they are both positively excellent scores.
I finally got around to EARP -all 3 effin' hours of it. The film is a misfire to be sure. JNH composed a very good score but it hurt the film at times with its romanticism and repetitive theme.
