Rebel Yell thank you!!! I loved this movie the Alamo with Billy Bob. I thought the characters were well done and the battle outstanding. I went to the Alamo that spring after I saw the movie and everywhere I went people bashed the movie. I think it was because the HEROES of the Alamo were played as real human beings. I remember talking to one person that said the actor that played Travis was way too young. I told the person that actually the man was a year older than Travis was when he died (I believe , I am talking from memory here ). I thought Billy Bob was perfect as Crockett. Much better than (gasp dare I say it ) John Wayne. I saw the Wayne movie I think six times one summer when I was visiting a small town in Idaho where the theatre was owned by friends of my parents and we helped out for a week. All the main characters in that verison were older men. Of course growing up on Fess Parker/Disney Davy Crockett I had to erase many misconceptions I was taught in the early tv show. One of the other details I loved in the newer Alamo was the including of men like Juan Segein and other native Texans . All in all I thing this was a good movie.
