Good Movie

Rating: 9/10 (21 December 2008)

As a descendant of an Alamo defender I found the movie very well made. Like the other versions of the Alamo that have been made for movies or TV it brought out a lot of historical information as well as being entertaining. I feel that Billy Bob Thorton captured the true spirit of Davy Crockett as well as the other actors who where true to there historical characters. I always consider myself an Alamo buff and would recommend this movie as well as the others to anyone. I wish Disney would have given Ron Howard the money he had requested to do more with the movie because unless you have some knowledge of the events in Texas History some people may not understand where these characters were coming from. I saw on the DVD version of the film the deleted scenes that were cut from the movie. I feel they should have been part of the movie instead of cut out because it would have helped the story a bit more.
