Hollywood tried to be historically corrrect with this movie and that's why this movie fallls short of the 1961 version. In this movie, the final battle corrrectly took place at night, but you couldn't see anything. In this version, Billy Bob Thornton played Davy Crockett and his version of Davy is better than the Duke's. That's the only standout from this movie version. Mix parts of this movie and the 1961 version and you'll have something close to the truth. When Disney told Davy's tale back in the late 1950's, they best summed up the tale by showing Davy as a frontiersman, politician, and soldier for Texas independence. I harp on Davy a lot, because in my opinion, the men stayed at the Alamo because of Davy. They felt they had a superstar on their side and couldn't lose. This tale deserves a part one, part two, and perhaps a part three-tellling Davy's tale, the tale of the Mexican Rmy, Nd the final outcome regarding the batttle of San Jacinto, it's outcome and the once, but no longer invincible Santa Annna telling the Mexican legislature how an amateur army whipped his army.
