Witnesses
audience Reviews
, 85% Audience Score- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsI expected much better. In the movie there is no explanation why the mob went after the witnesses. Why didn't God allow people to see the plates not covered? The actor who played Joseph Smith looks nothing like Joseph did.
- Rating: 2.5 out of 5 starsI wish I could give Witnesses a higher rating. After all, it means well, and the acting is good. However, as a film, it’s a little messy. First of all, it’s a frame story, so there’s that element, and then they have three different accounts they’re trying to tell at the same time. Plus, in addition to all that, they also jump around in time within those accounts. It gets confusing. And I feel like they tried to cram too much into the movie. I’m fairly familiar with the history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but I imagine Witnesses would be quite confusing for someone who isn’t.
- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsI was disappointed in the acting and screenplay. It's really not worth spending your time when there are much better and more accurate source about Mormon history.
- Rating: 0.5 out of 5 starsMy parents bought me the DVD for Christmas. I finally got around to seeing it last weekend. It was really bad. The plot was incomprehensible and the acting was very corny. I'm still waiting for a good movie about the 3 Witnesses that gives this material the respect it deserves.
