A very good film

Rating: 8/10 (26 September 2006)

I am sick of people denigrating films like this. It seems that the average audience member these days is offended by anything that requires a bit of thought. They dismiss characters with any complexity as either cases of "bad acting" or "bad scripting".
I enjoyed The Alamo very much, and my only regret is that the finished version is not longer. I found it absorbing and very satisfying to watch.
Another very fine film, Alexander, got a similar reaction from "critics" and mainstream viewers.
Meanwhile, the simplistic likes of "The Patriot" and "Kingdom of Heaven" are considered to be perfectly fine.
