The Alamo Ratings & Reviews
Epoch Times
Ian Kane
The Duke produced a glorious cinematic reminder of a crucial part of American history.
TV Guide
All the pontificating about the joys of freedom becomes irritating, but James Edward Grant's dialogue occasionally crackles with enough humorous wit to hold an audience untill the gripping finale.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
Interminable.
Variety
Variety Staff
In spite of the painstaking attempts to explore the characters of the picture's three principal heroes (Bowie, Crockett, Travis), there is an absence of emotional feeling, of a sense of participation.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Despite a banal and preachy script, full of speeches about religion and patriotism,the film has some good action sequences; overall, it's not worse than the 2004 remake starring Billy Bob Thornton.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Patriotic but inaccurate epic Western.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
As his own producer and director, Mr. Wayne has unfortunately let his desire to make a "big" picture burden him with dialogue. His action scenes are usually vivid, his talk scenes are long and usually dull.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Duke does Alamo redux. Heroic, overblown, speechy.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
John Wayne doesn't appear for the first twenty minutes of The Alamo, his 1960 directorial debut, and that's a bad sign.
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
Wildly overwrought, clumsy, and embarassingly directed.
Old School Reviews
John A. Nesbit
Could Wayne have crafted a better film if he only tried his hand at directing, instead of putting on the hero's mantle as well? Doubtful.
