Most entertaining period movie. I agree with Gregziglar, I do not watch movies for history lessons. Like Calgon, I just want it to take me away... beautiful scenery, love not lust/sex, strong women a... nd two absolutely fascinating MEN. Merci, Sergei Bodrov Full Review
I liked this a lot. It may or may not have been historically accurate, but I don't go to movies for history lessons anyway. I go to be entertained, and this was entertaining. However, for my own pa... rticular taste, it was way too bloody. The battle scenes were edited and filmed partially with that "shaky camera" effect to enhance the tension and action, but I don't like that effect personally. Full Review
The movie was better than I thought it would be. I really enjoyed the fighting scenes.
Sorry, didn't hit the right button. Just for the record. Mongols never fought hand to hand or used swords. They never hugged each other, or said "Thank You" after receiving a gift of fermented horse m... ilk. Also, he was never imprisoned or rescued by his wife. The sacred mountain also didn't have an alter or wolves hanging around. Mongols also never hugged each other. I guess even Russian directors can go Hollywood. Full Review

Mongol -- or, as I prefer to think of it, "Genghis Khan: The Early Years" -- is a big, ponderous epic, its beautifully composed landscape shots punctuated by thundering hooves and bloody, slow-motion battle sequences.Full Review

In the end, we're about a third of the way through the great Khan's life; he hasn't even begun to take down the cities of Cathay or spread his seed. That suggests two sequels. I, for one, can't wait.Full Review
I don't know the Mongolian word for panache, but Mongol's got plenty of it. The battle scenes are as notable for their clarity as their intensity; we can follow the strategies, get a sense of who's losing and who's winning. The physical production is sumptuous.Full Review
