Movie Review: Alamo Action
Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is exceptional considering when it was filmed (1915). It is cram-packed with some excellent battle scenes.
Although it not not partray the mexicans fairly, it is still a great action movie that can be enjoyed by kids of all ages.
I have viewed it five times in the three weeks since it arrived.
