The Alamo Ratings & Reviews

  • Mister ArnJune 3, 2025
    “The Alamo”, directed by and starring John Wayne, is a long buildup to an undeniably impressive final battle, especially considering it predates the advent of CGI. It's heavy on speeches and light on historical detail, more interested in myth than fact. A product of the 1960s, it leans hard into old-school heroism, with little room for moral complexity.
