The Alamo Ratings & Reviews
Common Sense Media
Nell Minow
Doesn't work despite Thornton's top performance.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
Laborious mush.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
Arriving in theaters today, the resulting $100-million dollar motion picture is a flawed, sprawling examination of the Mexican-American conflict that raises far more questions than it answers.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
It's dull, talky, and sometimes maudlin.
Premiere Magazine
Peter Debruge
Looks and feels like the kind of 16mm filmstrip once projected in grade-school history classes, right down to the corny dialogue and hammy acting.
Ebert & Roeper
Richard Roeper
Thanks to the skills of director and co-screenwriter John Lee Hancock and a deep cast of reliable veterans, this is an authentic and rousing version of the most famous battle in Texas history.
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
The film lacks the emotional, doomed punch for which it's so clearly striving.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Absorbing yet ever-so-slightly jaundiced retelling.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
With the notable exception of Thornton's Crockett, none of these characters engages you.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It may be history, but it's too meticulous to be believable.
New York Daily News
Jami Bernard
Alamo buffs will be delighted, and everyone else will be treated to something that feels like Old Hollywood crossed with new sensibilities.
Detroit News
Tom Long
It offers no great insights into the majority of its characters or the politics of the time; it is not the proudest or most shameful moment for any member of its cast; and it is neither overly long or dumbly abrupt. It's simply what it is.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
A deeply compromised film, if not a broken one.
San Francisco Chronicle
Carla Meyer
A valiant but losing effort.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Despite Thornton's yeoman efforts and a remarkable 52-acre set, you're more apt to forget The Alamo than to remember it.
Detroit Free Press
Terry Lawson
An ambitious mix of history lesson, politically correct speculation, character sketches of American icons and pretty scenery, but it winds up without much of a point of view.
Houston Chronicle
Bruce Westbrook
[Hancock's] Alamo may be flawed, but it tells a tale that still has the power to stir our souls.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
As talented as the cast is, not a one makes this an Alamo worth remembering
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Succeeds in taking those pop-culture brand names like Davy Crockett and Jim Bowie and giving them human form.
