Product Description

Lavish remake of the 1960 John Wayne epic. The film retells the remarkable events of the 1835-36 Texan War of Independence, in particular the historic siege of the Alamo - a crumbling abandoned Franciscan mission near San Antonio where a rag-tag band of some 200 soldiers and volunteers, led by Colonel William Travis (Patrick Wilson) and including Davey Crockett (Billy Bob Thornton) and Jim Bowie (Jason Patric), joined together in a courageous pact: they would stand firm against the Mexican army of more than 2,000, under the personal command of dictator General Santa Anna (Emilio Echevarria), and willingly give their lives for freedom. The film also chronicles the Battle of San Jacinto in which the Texan army, led by General Sam Houston (Dennis Quaid), took on and defeated Santa Anna's army, finally winning freedom and independence for Texas.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great movie!!

The Alamo is a compelling and visually stunning historical drama that brings to life a pivotal moment in American history with passion and authenticity. Director John Lee Hancock skillfully navigates the complexities of the siege at the Alamo, offering a balanced portrayal of both Texan and Mexican perspectives. The film's meticulous attention to detail, from the costumes to the set design, immerses the audience in the rugged Texan landscape of the 1830s.

The performances are stellar, with Dennis Quaid, Billy Bob Thornton, and Jason Patric delivering powerful portrayals of historical figures such as Sam Houston, Davy Crockett, and Jim Bowie, respectively. The emotional depth and camaraderie among the characters create a genuine connection with the audience.

The Alamo succeeds not only as a historical epic but also as a tale of sacrifice, courage, and the human spirit. The battle scenes are gripping, and the film's respectful treatment of the cultural and historical nuances adds to its authenticity. A must-watch for history enthusiasts and movie lovers alike, The Alamo (2004) stands as a respectful tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice during this pivotal moment in American history.🎬🏰🌟

5.0 out of 5 stars Best depiction of the Texas Revolution on film
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2021

First of all, no historical film is 100% accurate. Although I love the St. Crispin's Day speech, I suspect that that is not exactly what Henry said before the battle. That being said, as a person who has studied and taught the Alamo for years, this is very, very good.
I absolutely love that the director has added little filagrees to the movie standard blockbuster directors would never even know about. For example, in the very first scene, you see Francisco Esparza, a Mexican soldier, grieving over the body of his brother Gregorio, one of the defenders who died inside the church. The scene was just a moment with no dialogue, but it shows that the film makers actually had learned about the complicated relations between the loyalists and the rebels.
Except for Dennis Quaid, whose Sam Houston was all bluster and no finesse, I think the cast was very good. The center of this story is Billy Bob as Crockett. Sorry John Wayne - Billy Bob is the Crockett against all future Crocketts will be measured. He shows a charm and humanity we have not seen in the role before. You can believe his pain, understand his fear, and appreciate his courage - not as a cardboard superhero, but as a frail and imperfect human.
The parts of Bowie and Travis played by Jason Patric and Patrick Wilson are solid and are actually age appropriate (as opposed to Widmark and Harvey). You actually learn a great deal about them as real men as well as the complicated realities of the Revolution.
If it seems like I am slamming the 1960 version of the story, I am. That would be better titled John Wayne goes to San Antonio. If you want to enjoy a good historical presentation of one of the iconic military events in history, this is the one. Enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Watched it 5 times in theatres ... at full price. Fascinating story, well-told in this movie
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2013

By now, anyone reading this has read all the negative reviews by all the "smart" people. Forget all of that #%$&!, clear your mind of all expectations, and just watch the movie. I found the story fascinating, and very well-told by this movie. After watching it, I immediately read several extensive volumes and watched a number of documentaries about the Texas Revolution, the Alamo, and the key players whose lives ended there.

Having never met David Crockett, William Travis, nor Sam Bowie in person, I can't know what they were like, but the on-screen depictions of these men seemed very much in line with the accounts I have read. Yes, the movie did take some liberties with the chronology of events, but that is commonly done in movies in order to develop the characters more completely. This movie helps us understand who these men were who fought this battle and what they must have gone through in the 2 weeks leading up to their deaths. Stories like this are never about the events as much as the people who shaped them. This movie did an excellent job of depicting these men as real flesh-and-blood people, without diminishing their status as authentic heroes.

Most of the negative reviews seem to be from people with political axes to grind, mostly on the left but some on the right, too. Some "smart" people complain about this movie because they believe it showed the Alamo defenders as larger-than-life heroes, instead of the ignorant, racist, opportunistic thieves that the "smart" people know them to be. These people have never read the history. Others complain because they believe the movie unfairly depicted the Alamo defenders as ignorant, racist, opportunistic thieves.

Historical figures are real people who did extraordinary deeds. They are not the hideous nor the flawless caricatures that some people want them to be. The defenders of the Alamo were real people, and the movie did an excellent job of helping us see them as such.

After watching the movie a couple of times, watch it again as one of the project historians gives a scene-by-scene commentary. It is also excellent.

This film, though not overly heavy in combat scenes, goes into accurate detail about the events before, during, and after the events surrounding the Alamo. Events such as the Texian provisional government in San Felipe arguing over their allegiance to Mexico through their oath to the Constitution of 1824, arguments between the War Party and Opposition Party over a desire to invade Matamoros to beat the Mexicans at their own game or taking a defensive posture, through to Sam Houston asking Jim Bowie to destroy the Alamo (part of the reason Bowie chose not was because he didn't have the Oxen needed to carry away the Alamo's cannons, which Houston had requested he seize prior to the demolition).

As a film this is naturally not 100% accurate, there are a few details missing, i.e. the few Texians remaining in Bexar raising a banner in the plaza of San Antonio in defiance of the approaching Mexicans which consisted of a Mexican tricolour with two gold stars for Texas and Coahuila (not depicted), the Mexicans raising the "No Quarter" flag prior to their attempt at parley which resulted in Travis firing the cannon (in the film, the former happened after the latter, when in reality the Mexicans raised the flag first), the Mexicans immediately firing their howitzers following Travis' shot of defiance.

Also not depicted is Louis "Moses" Rose being the alleged sole Texian to cross Travis' line in the sand, also, another event not depicted was Travis sending Juana Navarro Alsbury, Jim Bowie's cousin-in-law, to negotiate an honourable surrender on the 4th of March. Another slight error is the fact that much of the real siege took place during uncharacteristic cold weather. Another event not shown was the Texian Master-of-Ordnance attempting light to gunpowder in the chapel in the final moments of the battle, only to be killed by a musket ball with his torch inches from the powder, which would've destroyed the entire chapel.

Aside from these minor historical inaccuracies and missing events, the film is highly enjoyable. I recommend it, despite being a box office failure.
