I think this kind of marketing killed 'The Alamo' before it opened. It turned out to be a better film than it was promoted to be.

If "The ALamo" turned out better than it was promoted, the promotions must have been pretty durn BAD!! (I never saw them).

I watched that revisionist POS movie-They sure downplayed the cowardice of the Mexican Army and Santa Ana. They didn't tell about the measley 18 minutes it took to overthrow the Meexicans whenthey were not fighting at 100 to 1 ratio and made it look less than tactical when help did not immediately arrive for those at the Alamo. It was HORRIBLE!!! Very Hollywood.
