Bad acting. Bad writing. Bad direction.

I can't believe the people swooning over this movie because it had a few more "historically correct"  occurrences over the 1960 Disney film.  It still take enormous liberties concerning the intentions of  the Americans and the Mexicans and  neither side comes off particularly heroic.  What was the purpose of telling a story that essentially treats the incident as meaningless?  But beyond the confused intention, it's simply a terrible movie.  Slow, talky, dull and incoherent.  The casting is absurd.  None of the characters are believable. Even the soundtrack is awful and seems out of place more often than not.  As for the writing, how's THIS for drama --  at the climax of the film when a soldier is shot, he remarks "I got killed" to which Crocket's response is "I'm sorry about this mess."  I laughed out loud at that one.  This movie is an insult to the story of the Alamo and it's an insult to  the audience.  It's  pretentiousness attempting to be relevance.  If you're knowledgable  of the story of the Alamo, or if you're interested in knowing more about it, this is the last thing you want to see.

Bad camera work, bad script, very poor acting, and worse directing. This movie could not even classify as a B rated movie, in my opinion. Even with minimal changes to the script, better acting and better directing would have made this a worthwhile movie to watch. I am more ashamed that amazon had this as a suggested movie to watch.

Could not get through the first ten minutes and love these actors. Yikes, bad writing and directing!

Bad acting (or maybe it was the writing?).  No, it was the acting AND the writing.  Repetitive and predictable action sequences.  The characters were a hodgepodge of every cliche you can imagine - separated couple with exactly 2.0 kids (one boy, one girl);  the mom's boyfriend who is more or less doomed from the start (did I mention the movie was predictable?);  a black president who is a widower and his hot Dr. Daughter, who hooks up with the scientist;  an evil Russian tycoon and his twin brat children;  the hippie conspiracy theorist;  the Tibetan monk . . . . blah blah blah.  I mean they didn't miss one stereotype.  The characters were so thin, when they turned sideways they disappeared.

Simply a bad movie. Predictable plot, bad acting and dumb script.

This is what I think of it: Bad movie, bad acting. Boring story. Sometimes it is even ridiculous and not because they try.

stratham is going to have to have a talk with his agent about this one.  bad writing, unexciting fight scenes, characters that you just don't care about, no conflict, etc.  if you're in the mood for a stratham flick, this ain't the one.

It wouldn't let me rate less than one star or I would have. Don't waste your time on this. The writing is so bad we would walk away and go get snacks during the way-too-long exposition scenes. The timeline is so convoluted it's simply stupid.

This movie was awful. The acting was terrible, silly and poorly directed. They took a great theme for a movie and ruined it.

Messy storyline, the time line is all messed up,  and bad acting.  They are all good actors, i dunno what happened,  maybe it's bad director.

Immature hormonal high school boy fantasy writing. Bad directing and acting. The only true comedy was the dedication at the end to his mother for such a horrible movie. (Morally Impaired--Implied sodomy, f*** used over 100 times, Christian bashing, mentally abusive situations by implied killing of beloved pets)  Total waste of time and money.

We kept thinking it couldn't get worse, and then it did.  Bad acting, bad script, bad cinematography, and very bad ending.

The original was way better. The acting here was terrible for the most part and who ever thought having a stupid college chick as a character is an idiot. What director would actually stake their name on a travesty like this? Surprising considering the actors have themselves done other movies and shows that were good. Fire the writers.

Worst acting ever.  Omg. So painful.  Adults overreacting. Kids well just being kids trying not to laugh at these over and under acting adults.  Also very bad CGI.

All around bad acting and a bad script. Halfway through the movie I knew what they were going to say before they even said it and how they were going to say it.
