Movie Reviews of Brigham Young
Movie Review: great - I enjoyed it.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've enjoyed the movie with tyrone power, since he was one of my favorate actors in those early years. It's a great story about a
man - but see it for yourself I can only recommend it.

Movie Review: Even Atheist Can Enjoy
Summary: 3 Stars
Okay, Im an atheist. A fire breathing Objectivist. And I loved this movie. Its so well done that a tiny bit of me converts, I swear to god, at least for the duration of the flick. Explains a lot about what I like about Mormons!
Its also a great adventurous tale of pioneering in the olden days when men were men.... The special effects are quite good. Tyrone Power, great as always, and the the woman who plays Zina is hard to forget and very convincing. But maybe I just go in for this sort of somewhat cheesy American individualist against the elements, Oregon Trail, thing.
Terrific for late night drinking and rainy afternoons and to inspire that long lost American Pioneer in you. I'm serious!
Enjoy.
Movie Review: Highly romanticized treatment
Summary: 2 Stars
Well, you won't learn anything historical from this movie but it is entertaining Hollywood fare. The reason the Mormons were run out of nearly every town was not because they were "just Mormons" but because they made themselves a law unto themselves and did everything from counterfeit money to luring young, underaged girls into polygamous marriages (and a lifetime of slavery), to building up vast arsenals of weapons, and threatening everyone who disagreed with them (they later murdered a large number of people in the Mountain Meadows Massacre). Brigham Young ran Salt Lake City like a slave state and public whippings and jihad type murders were common. BTW, the film never mentions that Joseph Smith wanted his son to be the next president of the church, not Young. The real story of Salt Lake is a gruesome story of religious fanaticism (to exclude outsiders, the church even tried to invent its own alphabet - the Deseret alphabet), blood and violence, and undemocratic autocracy/theocracy. If you are looking for Tyrone Power, his appearance here is brief.Movie Review: Brigham Young
Summary: 2 Stars
I was disappointed with the way the movie portrayed Brigham Young as being unsure about whether he was the Prophet or not. From what I know about the history of the Church, he was very self confident and forthright.
