You just have to know that it's all historical fiction.

Yes the books where that way.

I didn't like the first one (havent' seen the rest) because I thought it was the Joseph Smith story, and so I was like, "what?" My daughter also kept asking me, "where's Joseph Smith?"

I enjoyed it. I don’t think I would expect Kids to follow the movie.

I also hated the way they had Joseph get the Golden Plates. LAME. It's not that hard to stay vaguely historically accurate on that one now is it? Oy.

Actually it was pretty close. We know Joseph Smith got them, I think it was at night. We know Emma helped. I guess the only part, was I don’t think people were chasing Joseph. I don’t see that being that far off?

I have heard that the second is better, and maybe I'll appreciate it going in knowing that it's historical fiction. . .

The second is okay (better then Indian Jones movie) but not as good as the 3rd one. The problem with the second is how it ends. They had to cut it off at some time to do the third. Plus the girl (that everybody falls in love with) keeps changing in each movie if I remember correctly.

There are three so far in the series. I can't wait for a 4th!!!

Last I heard, they weren’t doing any more of these movies. I think Larry H. Miller (the main one funding this all) felt like it wasn’t worth doing any more. (They made okay money for being an LDS film). I haven’t heard anything else? On imdb.com the guy playing Joseph Smith doesn’t show any other Work and the Glory movies.

(really just watch the Emma Movie that came out, its kind of half like these work and the glory movies, and half a church video, sense it did have most of the cast from the Joseph Smith movie at Temple Square)
