Best Alamo Movie Yet

Rating: 10/10 (9 April 2004)

I'm a real Alamo buff who went and saw this movie on opening day. I thought it was really good. It was realistic, historically accurate, had some emotinal depth to it, as well a good dose of epic battle sequences, which was the best part. The emotional depth and overall "epicness" of it could have been improved, but we all know too much already for it to be all that involving. A lot of reviews I've read really slam this film over the stupidest reasons, which is dissapointing. Overall, it was very well put together, not perfect, but still pretty good. It has to qualify as one of my favorite movies, mostly because I appreciate a truly well put together Alamo movie. I'd give it an 8 out of 10.
