Travis was portrayed in a really good way in this movie, which most movies don't do for Travis.
Bowie was good also and no cheap shots were done, he died like the history books say ans it was inspiring.
Santa Anna was portrayed as a no good pervert dictator who was arrogant even against his Generals wishes. It makes it clear he was a murderous villian and it doesn't even attempt to put a nice side on him.
Houston was great and the San Jacinto battle was great.
If I had any problem with the movie it was that it was edited as if they cut out some of the "secondary characters" scenes to focus on the main four. Dickenson is only a very small part, it was if his part was bigger before they cut out scenes.
Over all I would say this is NOT some liberal drivel and worth the money to see on the big screen. When you see the Mexican army coming over those walls its quite a site.
