I am active LDS. I just saw "The Oath". I was very disappointed. This was NOT a good movie portrayal of Moroni and the Book of Mormon. To me, this was an ego trip of Darin Scott. Scott took way too much artistic license in creating his own version that would feature Darin Scott, Darin Scott, and, oh yeah, some more of Darin Scott. This was a missed opportunity. I very much hope someone else will put their ego aside, and create a Moroni-based story/movie with a focus on Moroni, Mormon, and the events leading up to the plates being deposited in the Hill Cumorah.

Not a Mormon, but the themes of tyranny, oppression, slavery and evil were certainly well explored in this movie. Moroni showed the compassion of Christ throughout. What an amazing love story also! Only wish it could have been longer. The Southam family is due much credit for this movie! One of the best movies ever, loved it with the same heart I loved Gladiator and 300. If you can't catch it in the theater, catch it any way you can, it is beautiful, well acted, and a vision I hope will keep going.

I absolutely loved this movie for so many reasons. It keeps me pondering over the beauty of the messages it portrayed. So glad movies like this are being made.

The Oath, by Darin Scott left me speechless in silent reverence. A true American cinematic miracle! It was so good, I watched it twice in a row the same night! Nothing out there compares to this film. Nothing even comes close! It just has to be experienced. There is so much rich symbolism woven into the story, you need to see it multiple times to fully appreciate it. Darin Scott is a true pioneer in the film industry! Go watch this film!
