Customer Reviews of The Work and the Glory - American Zion
THE MOVIE ITSELF WAS QUITE DECENT, WHATEVER YOUR THEOLOGY Works & Glory II does a splendid job of picking up where the first left off. The tempo continues at a nice clip, and the acting remains dramatic, authentic, and compelling. <
> <
>The honesty of the dilemma Joseph Smith creates when, after a 1000 mile treck to reclaim Mormon lands that have been confiscated, he makes a rather difficult decision. His choice causes a "crisis of faith" in one of his most loyal disciples, and causes a skeptic to come to Smith's defense. Clever dialogue here. <
> <
>The most powerful plus for this sequel is that it answers the big "Why did the Mormons receive so much hostility" question in a manner that is subtle and realistic. From the foundation of this movement, there was a tight-knit, look out for one another ethos that garnered both admiration and fear. Who is this large bloc of people coming into our county? Are they going to take over? Will they usurp our power, try to change the way we've run things? And, of course, will they bloc-vote to prohibit slavery? Missing from the plot of #2 was any signficant religious opposition. Most of the hostility and violence came for political and sociological reasons. <
> <
>Bottom-line: I'm not LDS, so this film served as more of an education for me, then a "faith-promoting" movie. Nevertheless, those interested in this population, will find the movie informative and well done--especially within the religious movie genre. I'm sure most members of this group will enjoy the movie, and that the leadership will be quietly smiling.
See the movie & skip buying the DVD
I loved the movie! Lots of action, heart-felt emotion from the Steed family and early Latter-day Saints. I've read all 9 books in the series and of course it's rare a movie does justice to books. But the screenplay chosen here takes a decent shot and leaves me eagerly anticipating the third movie.

>HOWEVER - what is up with the DVD? The fact that there is no 'scene selection' (amongst other glaring omissions) is the worst customer satisfaction experience I have ever had buying a movie. It's terrible! Vineyard Distribution take note - you failed miserably and people are not going to be happy with their home copy.

This was the worst movie I have ever seen. It wasn't historically accurate, it skipped huge events in history, and some events like the move to Kirtland took place in the wrong season. Never shows Joseph Smith's family, just a horrible movie. Skip the movie it isn't worth the money to rent it or buy it.
