XoWizIama Excellent adaptation.

RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Paynbob It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

meganmiller-75195 As a member of the Daughters of The Republic of Texas I am ashamed but not surprised. If you are going to do a film based on true events, GET IT RIGHT. They left out very important people that actually took place in the fight. Look up my great-great-great grandfather, Capt. Jesse Billingsley and you will find out from not only his personal journal but many other resources that his company was the first to ride in. Where is Edward Burleson? Check your geography. I would never, nor will I ever recommend this to anyone. As a proud Texan, this makes me sick!

sykespj I was an oilfield brat from Australia who landed at Angleton Junior High (about 50 miles outside of Houston) in 1970-71. At the time, it was compulsory to study Texas history. I was absolutely fascinated with the sheer excitement and adventure surrounding the rise of the Republic of Texas. I even got the only A+ in the class for my Texas history scrapbook... absolutely jam-packed with any bit of memorabilia or promotional pamphlet (thanks Mum) I could find.Unfortunately, this version of the story bears about as much similarity to the truth of the story as the history the small-town of Texas in northern New South Wales. C'mon... anyone who has even flown over southeast Texas knows that most of it is as flat as a pancake. Most days I could see the smog in Houston from Angleton. Why did that same rocky outcrop keep showing up? Come to think of it, there is one very much like it in Texas, N.S.W. The real story is so gripping, there was absolutely no need to put together this soapy pre-fabricated crap. Shame on the History Channel.

dfgibas Anyone hear any information about this being available on DVD? I know you can buy it on amazon but it would be nice to have a hard copy. This way you can take it places with you that TV isn't assessable. Or a way to buy it on amazon and somehow put it on to a DVD? Anyways I thought it was a great mini series except for the last part of it. I expected it to be a "wow that was great" ending but was disappointed. I agree that they didn't have to show the dog dead but it was a fake dog so I don't understand why some people are getting so upset. Being a great fan of Jeffrey Dean Morgan, he played a great role in this series. Remember the Alamo!

txfishrman Having watched each season of "Vikings" I could hardly wait for "Texas Rising." Sadly, the quality of the two series is incomparable. Historically and geographically, "Texas" is about the worst thing I have seen in a very long time. Being a fifth generation Texan, I am insulted and saddened by what I have seen to date. If History Channel was going to spend the money they did on this production they should have hired at least a native-born Texas fifth grader as a consultant.I have watched and plan to finish watching this travesty just to prove to myself that I can bear up to torture.
