A Fantastic Film

Rating: 8/10 (8 July 2006)

It's great to see a historically accurate film like this. The bad reviews are not deserved. It's great, and Billy Bob puts in a superb performance as Crockett. The film tensely leads up to the main battle in a way you have to watch to appreciate. Davy Crockett harmonising on his violin with the Mexican army, causing them not to attack one particular night is fantastic. His comment of "see what a little harmony can achieve" is one of the best quotes i've seen. the film is extraordinary and too many people are writing this film off before they have a chance to watch it a second time and truly appreciate the magnificence and human element of the whole piece. Finally, I don't think there has been a more elaborate set ever designed. To fully recreate the Alamo is a great achievement. Don't listen to the reviews, just watch and..............
REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
