  • New slant on history

    I wanted to see another interpretation of this historical happening. This film is well detailed but it sure is the complete opposite of the John Wayne version! The 1960 film was long and drawn out and rather heavy on character development. But the action scenes make up for it. History buffs will point out this flaw or that, at least in their opinions, but I love the dramatic moments and emotional expressions portrayed in the older version. Also, they are very respectful of the Mexican side of the story as well as the people of Mexico who, I think, were presented in a fair and dignified way. This latter version is darker, more somber, and too many of the scenes are filmed in the dark; which only adds to the depression of the theme. I'm troubled that this film is presented with a completely different slant to the story. It takes away the feeling and pride of heroism that John Wayne was able to convey. On the other hand, even at the time, John Wayne's political speeches were misplaced and, most likely, not historically accurate for the times. But one still gets the feeling that the portrayal of Davy Crockett and the others in this newer version is trying to change our minds and rewrite history of this amazing piece of history. I felt like it was trying to minimize the sacrifices of these men, while promoting a more progressive and cold side to the history. Billy Bob Thornton was fabulous, but it's too bad he had to be shown dying a captive's death instead of a hero's; even if some people believe this might be what really happened to Davy and the others.

  • Great movie

    I didn't like this movie the first three time I watched it 10 years ago. I was expecting fully engaged non stop battles through out the movie right up to spectacular fought to the last man battle. Instead, the movie felt more like well made documentary film with 3 dimensions characters. Now after watching it 4 more times I love the movie. Sam Houston, Jim Bowie ,David Crockett (he didn't like folks calling him Davy) ,and other characters were well played and well represented with depth of humanity and sometimes humility. Well made costumes and period correct ( at least in my untrained eyes) atmosphere renders the movie enjoyable to watch. The film somewhat explained why the Mexican fought and what at stakes and why the Texan fought. I pick up some favorite item from this movie like that big honky knife that Jim Bowie carried (controversial Musso Bowie) ,Mexican' S Deguello sound, and David Crockett 'S Betsy long rifle. Great movie

  • Better than the original

    I have both the original John Wayne/Richard Widmark/Lawrence Harvey movie from 1960 and this one - in my opinion this one is better (other than for the fact that Big Sam was MUCH taller than Dennis Quaid.) March 6, is a sacred day in Texas, and I plan to watch this movie every year on that day to commemorate the heroic stand of 183 men (the actual number is a matter of historical debate) who chose to fight and die rather than surrender and walk away with their lives. That spirit lives on in Texas today, at least among those born in Texas. This was a great purchase and I much prefer it to the original because the acting is just SO much better. Billy Bob Thornton's portrayal of David Crockett (one of my ancestors) is so much more believable than John Wayne's, and the same applies to the other actors. Part of the reason for my preference lies in advances in film technology between 1960 and 2004, but on the whole I just like this version better. Remember the Alamo. Remember Goliad. Remember San Jacinto. This is how nations are born.

  • Accurate depiction

    Great movie. What makes it great is it is one of the most accurate depictions of the Alamo and subsequent Sea Jacinto battles. Billy Bob Thornton is the best Davey Crockett so far. Decent acting by all actors.

  • This Alamo version is a great addition to my DVD collection.

    I cannot fairly compare this Alamo version to the John Wayne version because the acting techniques and technology used in those two movies are different. Both are great additions to my DVD collection.

  • True to the real thing...

    ...and I should know, I've read numerous books on the Alamo and this movie is the closest to reality I've seen onscreen. (This is not your Disney Davy Crocket!)

  • The Alamo, that says it al.

    I'm a John Wayne fan, and having just returned from a visit to the Alamo, it made the DVD all that more special.

  • History of the Alamo

    It's not exactly accurate to the real history of the Alamo. But it gives a person a feeling of how it may have been to be there. I enjoy watching movies about world history and I had this movie at one time. Well you know how it is when you loan someone a movie and then you don't see them in a long time. Never got my movie back.
