I'm not sure I've seen something worse

If you're going to make historical fiction you should at least try and make it interesting. Most of the actors are sub par and are so reserved and disjointed that they aren't even believable as real people. You took an actual interesting man's life and made it boring. I can't imagine why anyone thought this was a good product. My wife commented part way through that a few of the actors looked like they were animatronics. If you want a movie to make fun of while you watch it this is the movie to watch. If you're hoping for anything else I would save your time. The movie also seems to go for zero violence in an action movie.

STRANGELY-TITLED-HEART-FELT SLICE-OF-LIFE...THE LEGENDARY "DAVY CROCKETT"

The "Ballad of Davy Crockett" was Actually a Song Made Famous when Walt Disney Aired a 3-Part 1 Hr Mini-Series...During the Phenom a Rabid Fan Base of "Baby-Boomers" Acted-Out the Saga in Back-Yards and Playgrounds Across America...it Created a Merchandising Empire and the 45-RPM Records, got Constant "Radio Play" and Infectiously Sold 10 Million Copies in 1-Year 1955-56...This Movie, for some Reason Ignores the "Ballad", Except for the Title...the Phrase "King of the Wild Frontier" (the Disney Tag-Line) is Mentioned by "Davy" Once.This Movie is a Low-Budget, Good-Looking "Yarn" that is a Fun-Watch...Nothing Special, but an Engaging Short-Span in the Life-Span of a Rustic, Honorable Man...It's Sort of a Tease...Further Research is a Rewarding Experience...The Movie Leaves the Viewer Wanting More than this "Little" but Commendable Snap-Shot.It's a Family-Affair...the Story is Built Around the Crockett Clan, Their Struggling Containment in a Tennessee Cabin-in-the-Woods...where His Beloved Wife "Polly" and the 2 Adolescent Boys Patiently Await the Return of Their "Pa" in the 2nd Act.It's Worth a Watch but is Ultimately an "Unsung" Pioneer Slice-of-Life by the Known Exploits of a "Larger Than Life" American who Died Along-Side 200 Other Unfortunates, as Most Know, "Remember the Alamo"...His Legend Lives, Forever More. The Good-Natured...Please Call Me "David" Crockett.Here are the Lyrics to the "Ballad"...Born on a mountain top in Tennessee Greenest state in the land of the free Raised in the woods so's he knew ev'ry tree Kilt him a b'ar when he was only three Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier In eighteen thirteen the Creeks uprose Addin' redskin arrows to the country's woes... Now, Injun fightin' is somethin' he knows So he shoulders his rifle an' off he goes Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear Off through the woods he's a marchin' along Makin' up yarns an' a singin' a song Itchin' fer fightin' an' rightin' a wrong He's ringy as a b'ar an' twic't as strong... Davy, Davy Crockett, the buckskin buccaneer He fought single-handed through the Injun War Till the Creeks was whipped an' peace was in store An' while he was handlin' this risky chore Made hisself a legend for evermore Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier He give his word an' he give his hand That his Injun friends could keep their land An' the rest of his life he took the stand That justice was due every redskin band Davy, Davy Crockett, holdin' his promise dear He went off to Congress an' served a spell... Fixin' up the Govern'ments an' laws as well Took over Washin'ton so we heered tell An' patched up the crack in the Liberty Bell Davy, Davy Crockett, seein' his duty clear When he come home his politickin' done The big western march had just begun... So he packed his gear an' his trusty gun... An' lit out grinnin' to follow the sun Davy, Davy Crockett, leadin' the pioneer He heard of Houston an' Austin an' so To the Texas plains he jest had to go Where freedom was fightin' another foe An' they needed him at the Alamo Davy, Davy Crockett, the man who don't know fear His land is biggest an' his land is best From grassy plains to the mountain crest... He's ahead of us all meetin' the test Followin' his legend into the West Davy, Davy Crockett, king of the wild frontier.Source: LyricFind Songwriters: George Edward Bruns / Tom Blackburn Ballad Of Davy Crockett lyrics © Kanjian Music, Walt Disney Music Company.
