Awesome: The best Alamo picture ever made. I loved it.

Rating: 10/10 (30 September 2004)

IMHO: this movie was great! Crocket's portrayal was excellent. The other actors were excellent too. Crocket was portrayed as an ordinary person AND a hero. The action and battle scenes were realistic. Credit was given to the Tejanos who fought there and who were important afterwards in the development of Texas. It was "patriotic" but not overly so. It had that intangible "realness" to it. I am sorry I did not see it in the theatre. I was afraid it would be a politically-correct anti-American self-loathing revisionist piece done in the despicable manner of the lying anti-American propagandist Michael Moore. I was wrong. The movie was well balanced and well worth watching. AAA+
