Pretty Good

Rating: 9/10 (8 December 2004)

The Alamo was fairly good. Not perfect, but no historical dramatization ever can be. It portrayed the defenders are real humans, "warts and all", and was as honest as possible in the portrayal. The battle scenes were a bit forced, but relatively accurate from the records we have left to us.
The movies makers, and actors, did a good job of bringing these legendary men to life on the screen. They showed them as idols with feet of clay which is very refreshing. It also went into some of the back stories of the more important players, though skipping some of the "jucier" bits of history on others.
I'd highly recommend this movie, but I am a Texan so I'm not an unbiased source.
