'Saw the Alamo

So I was lucky enough to see the Alamo last night (won't post any spoilers!). Didn't really know what to expect going in, but I ended up liking it a lot. I thought the acting for the most part was really good. Billy Bob fits right into his role as a Tennessee congressman and fighter at the Alamo. Patrick Wilson, Jason Patrick and Dennis Quaid also were good. 'Was also impressed with the battle scenes. All around, a pretty well done movie.

So then On A Scale of 1-10 what would you rate it?

Holy Hell it bombed bad.... Take a look at the rating...http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/TheAlamo-1131222/ .....0%out of 100% wow

That's only 6 reviews so far......I'm not saying it's Oscar material, but it's definitely got some good qualities (as I pointed out). On a scale of 1-10, I'd give it a strong 6.5.

The RT rating will improve as reviews from the major outlets come in. I'm going to see it and I think a lot of other people will too.

I've heard from people that saw a screening that Alamo was really good. I'll buy what they're selling on this one. It's a great weekend for the movie too, especially coming off the Final Four in San Antonio and the anniversay of the Alamo falling right around now.

Man I just got back from the theatres and I watched Hellboy and The Alamo. The Alamo really sucks, it's just another excuse for a movie so the americans (some not all) can glorify themselves as heroes and enlarge their egoes even more (Sorry american dudes, I like you but it's true, almost all of you think that the USA is the best country in the world, it's cool that you have patriotism but don't get cocky) Insipid acting joins historical flaws, it says that the Mexican Unit was made up of over 2000 soldiers against 150 texans. And the way I heard it from my history class and The History Channel it was that they were 200 texans and over 700 mexicans. So anyway whatever, let's get down to the point. Hellboy kicks some major ass, go see it. When I get back to Hermosillo I shall start working on my Hellboy siggie and avatar.

i haven't watched any of them.

and to be honest i probably won't..
i hate american-patriotism-movies... 😘

What country are you from Pablo G?
Hellboy was a pretty kick ass movie 😄

Isn't Pablo from Mexico?

You got damn right ✅

American patriotism movies are all formulaic propaganda. And I'm American ✅

I agree w/ you every step of the way, Pablo! 🤘 👆

Wow an american that agrees with me on this one, rock on Lord Soth !

I'm the most anti-nationalist American you'll ever find 😆

Well, me and my good friend that most of you know as Hypochrisitan 😆 💃
