The story (of course) was good. I was not at all impressed with the costuming. The costumes were obviously brand new material. You'd think they would try to make things a little bit authentic. Beggars in Jerusalem had on new looking clothing, not rags. Even though Lehi and his family may have been wealthy, not everyone in Jerusalem was.
I also thought a lot of the acting was quite poor. Many shots were so obviously staged.
Just my 2 cents worth...... Overall, I'm glad I saw it though. It's better than a lot of the trash movies playing.
Anyone else seen the film? What are your thoughts?

Making the rounds of Utah theatres, panned by the critics:
THE BOOK OF MORMON MOVIE, VOLUME 1: THE JOURNEY — ** — Proving that good intentions don't translate to good filmmaking, the first part of director Gary Rogers' ambitious live-action series (based on LDS scripture) is a lackluster re-telling of the books of Nephi, with actor Noah Danby making a bland hero. Running time: 119 minutes. PG-13 (violence, brief gore). (5-Star, Gateway, Holladay, Jordan Landing, Megaplex 17, Ritz.) (Sept. 12, 2003)
