Movies

I had been looking forward to seeing this movie forever. Finally, I stepped into that theater, and was totally taken back.The characters in the movie were very good, especially Joseph Smith (Jonathan Scarfe) and Joshua (Eric Johnson.)This movie was filled with deep, painful, and warming emotions that made you want to grab a box of Kleenex and wipe their tears away. It was truly remarkable.The early Mormon Saints went through very hard times, and this movie clearly shows it. It also shows how a family can be stretched and split so many ways.Yet, the Steed family and the Mormon Church are not about to give up, because they know that "Every Dream has a Price."

My family and I recently saw "The Work and the Glory: American Zion" in California and am so very glad to say it is better than anything I've seen in a long while. I don't see why so many people have to pigeon hole this film as a Mormon film. It happens to be a very well done film about the 1830's and it happens to be about Joseph Smith and the Steed family. The camera work and the acting is more than excellent. I thought Jonathan Scarfe as Joseph Smith was good and Sam Hennings as Ben Steed was as good as it gets. So please people get over the religious talk and lets look at this film as a entertaining movie that is very well done for the whole family to see. We can't wait for the third film to come out. Thanks

Save your money it was a good show but it will be an epic it doesn't get to Joseph Smith Murder, the show leaves off about the speed family and moving Missouri, it doesn't get to the Navoo temple at all, I fell this is wrong to have to wait for the next episode which at the end of the movie it doesn't mention a next episode if there is one at all, I fell ripped off I was excepting at least to the LDS leaving to Utah !!! and where it left off was years before that.I am sure you folks will have to see for yourselves what I am talking about, but as for the movie it self it was great ! I was disappointed that it did not go further than it did.
