Title: Great Western with Wayne Director, but one major flaw
Review: John Wayne not only acted, but directed this film which tries to depict a key moment in American history. Overall, it is a great western film, with a strong cast, and plenty of action. But, the film has one major flaw - it moves along way too slow. The script is wordy, and at times sappy for no good reason. The last battle scene is great, just wish it did not take 2.5 hours to get to it. If you like John Wayne films, then you must watch it (one of the few he dies in), and it is worth your time. If not, the modern movie about the Alamo is better than this one.
