7th Grade and up!
I am shocked at how CS was concerned about the violence in the movie. HELLO...it was a BATTLE and yes, they all died in real life! I don't think we should sugarcoat reality! I am concerned as to whether the person reviewing this for them even knows history! In my opinion, it would be the language that is the problem. Sexual conduct as a problem? Really??? So...I guess Gone With The Wind is also not appropriate due to Belle! I think this is perfect for a junior high or high school class...in order to teach the kids WHY the Alamo is so important in Texas' history...and why they wanted independence. By the way...it clearly shows that Mexicans ALSO wanted independence from Santa Anna. Let's revisit our reviewing policies shall we?

An intense war movie, with some good parts but they don't warrant all the other parts of the movie that weren't worth watching. Billy Bob Thornton did a superb job, it's just too bad the rest of the movie didn't match up.

Amazing movie!!
The Alamo is a great movie to watch on any day of the week. Just 200 men to defend the alamo is truly amazing. Very infrequent profanity and a brief instant of sexual innuendo. The violence is not very graphic to show blood or strong gore. This movie is down out a movie you dont want to miss.

A Poorly Directed War Movie Given An Extra Star for Thorton's Performance
THE ALAMO has some very fine moments that are thoroughly enjoyable. However, those moments only amount to a 2-star rating, but I added an extra star for Billy Bob Thorton's performance as Davey Crocket. I'm usually not a fan, but he acts with grace and charisma in a movie that truly doesn't deserve him.
Violence is the biggest issue in the movie. Several intense scenes lead up to big battles, and, though the fighting is no more graphic than, say, GETTYSBURG, the death of all of the heroes is truly disturbing and upsetting. Language consists of some "d**n"s, "a*s"s, and "SOB"s. A man calls another a catamite, brief reference is made to "going to the whores", and it is implied that Santa Anna forces local women to sleep with him (nothing shown).

Historically boring!!!!!
The Alamo. A movie that looks like every five minutes we get the living crud beaten out of us. The movie was very great, historically correct. Just try to get scene selection so you don't want to leave like I did. All the heroes die in the two last scenes featuring the alamo. Save your money and make your friend buy it and watch it with them.
