Simply dreadful. A dull and often times ridiculous testiment to how converting people to christianity makes them more civilized somehow. The brutality of the tribe was actually more of a relief to me. Those missionaries are portrayed as the Simply dreadful.

Those missionaries are portrayed as the good guys but I was somehow relieved to see the ends of several spears go into some of them.

if you want to see a good engaging film about missionaries you should skip this one and see 'The Mission.' This one's just a sales tool for christian colonialism and an attempt at justification of oppression of non-christian cultures.

Watch only if you want to regress as an open minded person, and love colonialism.… Expand

Very disappointing compared to the documentary film and the books about these men. A very watered down gospel message. I would encourage getting the better version in Beyond Gates of Splender which has the real message these men died for.

There was no point to the End of the Spear. I remember when those missionaries were killed, and this movie did a dreadfrul disservice to them. Those who say the critics are biased because this is a "Christian" movie are deluding themselves. There was no point to the End of the Spear.

There is nothing Christian about it. A miserable, boring, flop.… Expand
