I'm not sure if this review contains spoilers except that it doesn't address the negative side of Joseph Smith that everybody should be aware of but, just to be safe, I add a spoiler alert anyway.
I watched this movie just now and am stupefied by the rating of 7.7 and the number of reviewers applauding this. Everyone who does a little research knows that there is much more to Joseph Smith than how he is portrayed in this movie. Joseph Smith was a conman. He was convicted for what he did, betraying people's trust. He also was a polygamist and a pedophile. As such he inspired criminals like Warren Jeffs of the FLDS as the members of the FLDS follow all the original doctrines of Joseph Smith.
I can't believe that the 10/10 reviewers are not aware of this and therefore I can't understand all the praise they are giving to Joseph Smith and this movie. I would like to hear from a LDS member if they truly believe only this side of the Joseph Smith story and refuse to acknowledge the bad things he did or that they just don't know better. The last I doubt. Please let me know.
Oh, why 2/10 in stead of 1/10? The movie isn't bad enough for a 1 rating. I think there are worse movies out there. 2 fits well for me.
