Fictitious yet not entirely untrue
Yes this film was based on a fictitious figure yet cannot be written
off as untrue. There was an organization known as the Danites and no
Joseph Smith did not immediately disband them and condemn them, in
fact, he attended some of the meetings. He did disband them once he saw
the true scope of activities and he excommunicated the band leader
Joseph Avaard, however, Orrin Porter Rockwell, who is portrayed in the
movie, was indeed a member of the Danites and was Joseph and Brigham's
personal body guard. I feel the movie was more about Porter than Miles
Utley and Bill Hickman was also real. In fact, Miles was about the only
character who was made up. The attempts against Brigham's life were
real and the internal leadership struggles were real. The Mountain
Meadow Massacre is a perfect example of the type of nervous hair
trigger leadership that prevailed in the early days of the church after
the martyrdom of the prophet and the cowardly murder of P.P.Pratt in
Arkansas. Though Grigham was exonerated for the attack on the Arkansas
wagon train, the crime was perpetrated by leaders of the local church
concerned about the wagon train proceeding to California, raising a
militia and returning bent on sacking the outlying Mormon communities.
They mercilessly murdered men women and children thinking the general
leadership would condone the act but were seriously flawed in their
judgment. This movie gives us a glimpse into the paranoid mentality of
the epoch and I think it is well worth the time to watch..
How the West Was Won - The McCahans - A totally family western movie with James Arness who takes his brother's family to Oregon. Last of the Dogman - Tom Berrenger - Great movie with Barbara Hershey.

Most of the other reviewers have gotten it right when they talked about this being a fictional story. The characters in this story though do act according to what they were known. The head of the conspiracy to kill Brigham Young is a thinly veiled Sidney Ridgon. The first women to take a shot at him was Ann E Young, Brigham's 19th wife who divorced him and wrote a famous expose on him a year before he died, Bill Hickman who was another of Brigham's Danites, who was known to drink a lot, and later turned in evidence showing Brigham's part in several killings and lastly James Young, the Prophet's favorite son who was arrested while on a mission and had to be bailed out by Daddy and also was known for his wildness. The story itself is fictional, Sidney never made any attempts on Brighams life, but did try to take control of the Church shortly after Joseph Smiths death. The main character is also fictional. You can tell that the screenwriter has done a lot of research into Mormonism before writing this because you see a lot of little details added like people shaking hands doing the First Token of the Aaronic Priesthood. This isn't a great film say like Lonesome Dove, but it is interesting..

X-Men, the first REAL attempt at bringing a Marvel Comic to life on the silver screen, succeeds on several levels. First, it is well written, leaving just enough cheese and in-jokes for fans of the comics--but it doesn't ignore the newbie, either. Each important plot point is explained, and we are saved from watching the "origin" of every character. Hugh Jackman as Wolverine, Patrick Stewart as Professor X, and Ian McKellan as Magneto really steal the show. They've embodied their characters, and work well together. The message of discrimination is never played heavy-handed, but it comes across. All in all, a solid performance. Michael Kamen's music is wonderful and fitting. Just the right amount of adrenaline and somberness. (I recommend you by the CD as well as the DVD!) In short, X-Men is a rewarding superhero flick. People with children however, should be warned that there is an amount of violence, but it is not gory. All in all, and excellent movie..

Ángel vengador explora la historia del viejo oeste que pocos fuera de Utah se han explorado. Por supuesto algunas libertades se han tomado, pero la historia tiene bastante bien, un diálogo de los broches de presión en todas partes. Charleston Heston puede agregar Brigham Young a Moisés y Ben Hur en su lista de las principales figuras religiosas que ha retratado. Tom Berringer da una un sólido rendimiento. James Coburn es brillante como Porter Rockwell. Desde el punto de vista histórico, la historia puede no ser del todo cierto de hecho, pero Gary Stewart, autor de la novela original, creció en una tradicionales de la familia mormona en St. George, Utah. Si bien esta específica historia puede ser ficticia, que se basa en una enorme cantidad de históricos hecho .. September Dawn: Otra gran película basada en los acontecimientos históricos del 11 de septiembre 1876, en donde la ciudad mormona en el oeste mata completamente el tren de vagones conocida como la Compañía de Arkansas que pasa por sus tierras .. .

This a great movie about a violent and under-reported phase of the Old West..
I should like this film, but...
I should like this film, but I was more than a little put off by it. I want
to be careful here and keep my comments addressed to the film and not its
subject, the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints, AKA, the Mormons.
The film which takes a VERY sympathetic posture of the Avenging Angels, the
well organized and well funded hit squad of the LDS which organized a number
of out-right murders of both true believers and "Gentiles (as us
non-subscribers to their faith are termed). I was mildly surprised to note
that such a murder is treated fairly in the film but that's about all that
isn't slanted. The internal struggle of Elders provides us with the good
guys/bad guys necessary for a good shoot'em Western and there are some
interesting twists, including our old favorite, James Coburn, in a role as
the mysterious Porter Rocwell, the organizer of the Avenging
Angels.
If you are willing to buy the several fictions that exist in the story and
the VERY soft pedaling of Mormon polygyny, you will likely find this
entertaining. Heston is his old patriarchal self as the "Prophet" Brigham
Young and look for Andrew Prine, a promising young actor who never quite
made it to the top, in a spot. As a hard-nosed history buff, I had a hard
time with several of the religio-political elements of this film but I must
confess that I've been so damn hungry lately for a good Western, I'd likely
watch it again..
