The long awaited movie that would "expose the Mormon deception" is out and critics are fairly unanimous: it is a ham-fisted, overwrought, poorly crafted, message movie with all the subtly of a jack hammer to the head. I imagine Michael Moore is green with envy.

Ping!

[Reaganesque]

Condolences Ping!

Two different reviewers using the term “ham fisted” at the same time. Odd.

[restornu]

It is sad to read with such a tragic subject that would be mention of giggles!

[saganite]

It might be a hamfisted movie but the historical facts are not in doubt.

[Seruzawa]

Heh heh. It’s real funny when the Christians complain about anyone else’s history of blood and corpses. Pot meet kettle.

Then there’s the mountains of corpses from the last century created by the liberals’ favorite political philosophy. These lefty movie makers should really shut up about these things.

Oh, and I’m not a Mormon.

The jarring MTV-style filmmaking is so distracting...

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who finds the drunkard's point-of-view cinematic style unwatchable.

So all the critics hate it? Sounds like a movie I’ll like.

[padre35]

So I take it that you won’t be going to see September Dawn?

And the reviews do bring up a good point:

Could a reviewer write a review that used “Ham Fisted” if the film’s subject was say..Muslims and the sacking of Ceasaria?

[PAR35]

I take it you believe everything you read in the WaPost, Minneapolis Red Star Tribune, Village Voice and Slant magazine.

“But the core message transcends time: Hatred laced with religious fanaticism is a toxic blend.”

And apparently that toxic blend can lead to the making of really bad movies.

Movies made by people who want to express the love for something good inspire. Movies made by people who want to express their anger and hatred by ripping into their target repel.

It’s “Fahrenheit 9/11” for the moonbat anti-Mormon crowd.

[glorgau]

I’m gonna see it!

[Alouette]

I think I’ll stick with the South Park “All About Mormons” episode.

[Plutarch]

At Box Office Mojo, the prediction is that September Dawn will rake in a paltry $2.9 million in its crucial opening weekend. Doesn't look like they are going to cover their $11 million production budget. Talk about a massacre!

[JCEccles]

Imagine that. The overwhelming consensus of the critics: this movie SUCKS.

But if you read the reviews carefully, most of the critics seem to be expressing their displeasure that the movie wasn't made better so as to vilify members of the LDS Church in the manner in which the critics believe they so richly deserve. That is, the critics are bigots as well, just mightily annoyed that the smear wasn't done more artfully and professionally.

I'm weary of the anti-LDS bigotry. FR is stuffed to the gills with it. It got really old really fast a long time ago. There are no better, more faithful, more hard-working, more conservative Americans than the Mormons. They deserve better.

BTW, I find it somewhat amusing that the surname of the director of this crock of steaming cinematic crap is "Cain."

Moore would have done a decent job. He is a pretty good craftsman.

Might want to make it clear that you believe Joseph Smith to be a prophet, rather than a clever huckster bent on making up fun stories about Indians using scimitars and iron, riding horses and such.

Just a question for you: Why is Jesus not sufficient?
