hyped garbage

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

This movie is totally amazing. I watched it many years ago and it inspired me. I am so glad that I was able to find it and watch it again. I recommend it greatly and I promise you will never look back. I love seeing inspiring movies, especially about people who have changed the course of history and influenced others lives even years later. I often felt strong emotions in this movie, and I hope you will to. It talks about the life of Joseph Smith according to him and those there. And will strengthen your testimony an your relationship with god. I know god was in this mans life and totally in this movie. If you don't believe me? Watch the movie. I hope you like it!!!

Great comedy filmThis film is the biggest load of piffle I have ever seen, I watched it to see where the LDS come from, if they truly believe that an angel gave him these gold plates and only he saw them and translated them & then gave them back, then I suppose ridicule is not what is needed but sympathy is. How anybody who believes in this could possibly stand for elected office, and expect sane people to vote for them is beyond comprehension, but I suppose only in America. The acting in the film is wooden, the sets are too perfectly twee, and the token coloured characters look embarrassed and out of placeMarks out of ten, 1 (for comedic value)

I don't know what movie some of these other people watched, but they must have seen a different "Joseph Smith: Prophet of the Restoration" than the one I saw.I think the movie was both well-done and inspiring. I think it's definitely worth watching. It's apparent from the outset that a lot of care went into the making of this film. The background scenery is beautiful.I think the film does a good job of portraying Joseph Smith both as a man and as a prophet. Joseph's spiritual experiences are portrayed with taste and reverence.I would definitely recommend watching this movie.

This movie was beautiful. It was full of memorable imagery, good acting, and touching subject matter. It would be very easy to write it off as being too sentimental, but that is the sentiments this type of a movie is trying to achieve. I was totally involved in the story's unfolding and presentation. There were a few cheesy shots, but such is to be expected in a religious propaganda film. The only complaint I can conjure is there wasn't a ton of details. However, this movie wasn't created to explain every element of Joseph Smith's life, ministry, triumphs, controversies, failures etc.; it was designed for a quick glimpse at a few highlights of one of the most amazing American and historical religious figures of all time.
