Movie seems like it was thrown together.

Rating: 5/10 (24 February 2005)

Not kidding, it was like.. okay.. what do we do next? Oh hey I know. Lets make a movie about The Alamo. And then they threw it together and we've got a movie.
Problem is, if you want a movie that does a decent job at showing what really happened at the Alamo... this isn't one of those movie. Plot holes everywhere. From Santa Anna's girl. and why is she scared (deleted scenes on the DVD indicate she was his second wife) to Sam directing one of the main soldier's here to go burn a bridge yet no bridge is displayed in the movie. TO the ridiculously short ending. Then they throw the ending of the movie per se to the front of the movie. So by the time you get to the ending.... your left to wonder what happened.
So if this movie doesn't leave you totally confused, your lucky. Because that's what it did to me. And Billy Bob Thorton as Crockett??? Although he didn't butcher the part, he sure as heck ain't no John Wayne.
For the most part I think they thought like a 4 hour movie, wanted to show all these different story lines.. Were too giddy for their own good and rushed the storyline. Which is a complete disaster. One of the biggest disappointments I've seen in a long time. Not necessarily by bad acting, but bad directing and editing. (makes Pearl Harbor - another Disney production- look a lot better than it really is. ) :(
