How accurate is Tombstone? Less the plot, more the character depictions? I do know Ike Clanton's family complained about his portrayal.

It's pretty accurate while at the same time giving a slant. Doc Holiday, for instance, was kind of annoying loudmouth judging by reading about him, but the movie managed to portray his character pretty accurately and make it charming, which I guess makes sense, since there was clearly something that appealed to him to very reserved people like Wyatt. who was almost the complete opposite.

Not at all. But there was a Doc Holliday, and there was a shootout at the OK Corral. Believing Hollywood films are representations of history is retarded. Don't be a fucking retard.

Also stop posting until you've actually read a book or two.

Pretty accurate, especially the gunfight.

No, it's quite clear the main basis of the characters in the movie was their historical counterparts. It's not My Darling Clementine.

The gunfight in the Keven Costner movie was also very accurate, but his movie is overall much drier and less satisfying, it's more like a high-budget documentary reenactment.
