Movie Review
Grade: C
Remember the Alamo? You may not want to after seeing this dull depiction of one of America's most historic battles. 2004's The Alamo is perhaps a bit more historical than its John Wayne predecessor, but lacks the charisma and character to pull audiences through its two-hour-plus running time.

Alamo, by Kristi
May 3, 2004
This movie properly portrayed what happened at the Alamo according to historical accounts. Regardless of what the critics say, no educated American will go to view the movie not knowing what will happen to the soliders at the Alamo. The movie is for entertainment, but should not be expected to wow the audience with thrills, it is better left with the emotions people had at the Alamo and to create a positive portrayal of what happened. See the movie because it is as true to the real story as you can get not because you expect to be surprised at the outcome.
