The Promise

It’s a very beautiful movie, and does a great job showing the hardship and the selflessness of the Young Turks. It’s a great movie to show and teach people about the Armenian Genocide. I have no idea why the “critics” are calling this movie bad.

So moving and a magnificent film set against the massacre of one and a half million Armenians by the Ottoman Turks. Excellent acting and action scenes showing the courage of these brave people

My family roots are from Asia Minor and I would have liked to enjoy this movie but it looks fake from the get go.

I believe the Rotton Tomatoe critics are not a credible review source . Look at the audience reviews or the Popcorn meter . The Promise is an outstanding story , well structured for the screen . Excellent cast , locations , cinemaphotography and script . Rotton Tomatoes has lost their feel for cinema .

This has been one of the best movies I have seen all year, if not decade. It made me cry, it made me think, it made me love.

Best movie I’ve seen about the Armenian genocide

I just watched this. It almost leaves me with no words. Riveting and sad. Well done.

Wonderful! Absolutely fabulous!Great cast and direction.Film that deals with the first genocide of our time with historical accuracy and poignant compassion.The movie makes the viewer ask questions more actual today than ever:How great must human suffering become before anyone reacts?Yet, there are heros among us with extraordinary courage,who insist that helping the weakest is the duty of every man.Can't wait to see the movie one more time!

A love triangle story that is unnecessary to make us care about Armenian genocide.

A good premise that I was interested in learning more about. However, it took things too far and was too one sided in its portrayal of the genocide. Regardless, it still has some beauty to it despite the odd plot that did not always make sense. Nor did the self-nobility of the reporter's character really make sense when he was a minority living in a foreign country pushing his own values. It was on HBO.
