5/10

Rating: 5/10 (8 April 2004)

I was disappointed with The Alamo because I thought it could have been better. There were scenes which were enjoyable. Billy Bob's character, Davy Crockett, is one of the only highlights acting-wise in this one. In my opinion, he comes close to stealing the show. Although it isn't really that difficult in this film. Something about it just didn't work for me. It's tough to put a finger on exactly what it was. Possibly just that the slow beginning didn't draw me in as it should have. Possibly the ending. Who knows. It was nice to see from a historical perspective, as some youth these days may not know much about the real story behind Texas as a state. As a film though, it fell a little short for me.
