Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Disappointed!Having read all of the excellent books written by Conn Iggulden on the subject of the great Khan I bought the DVD with high expectations especially having studied many of the very positive reviews. A great disappointment I'm afraid with the film failing in my view to even begin to demonstrate the huge vitality and leadership qualities of this most famous man. A series of boring and unconnected scenes finalizing in a short yet spectacular battle made me wonder what the point of this film was. Read the Conn Iggulden books they offer far more fact, story and excitement! Rating:  - Fantastic!!!This is well worth a watch, dramatic settings, great story and so looking forward to the next part.......... Rating: - The best film I've seen in 2008I usually watch about 3-4 films per week, many of them at the cinema. This is the best I have seen this year. Most of the people who criticised it seem to have either been looking for a bloodbath or a docu-drama. Mongol is neither, just a superbly filmed, brilliantly acted and authentic looking piece of cinema. The costumes and scenery looked fantastic. The main actors were very credible in their roles and the soundtrack was beautifully understated, bringing to life the emptiness of the Mongolian Steppe. I don't know how accurate the story is, but any story of his early life must involve a lot of speculation and artistic license as there is little known about his origins. The ending was rather abrupt, but I think some of the best films leave ...

Wonderful framing and wide landscape shots. And the sets and costumes stay true to the intended time. I am however sceptical of the cinematography as I feel a lot of the beauty in the shots has more to do with the land itself than the brilliance of the photography. This is by no means to the stunning standard of Baraka or Laurence of Arabia, both of which have the available scenery but still rely massively on the artistry of the photography. Plot : Only Swiss cheese has this many holes in it! There seemed to be a number of scenes that just tailed off without explanation. One minute he's shackled ... Read More: Rating: - Genghis Khan: the Early YearsMongol is the first part of a trilogy of films on the life of Genghis Khan by Russian director Sergei Bodrov. With that in mind, you shouldn't be surprised when the film ends suddenly with Genghis' rise to power, as two more films are expected in the next few years. It is also a wise decision on behalf of Bodrov to make a trilogy considering that other attempts at condensing the Khan's life into a two or three hour slot have failed so miserably in the past (Howard Hughes/John Wayne's 1956 film the Conqueror being the most notable). This first half starts with Genghis as a nine-year-old boy, then called Temujin (spelt Temudgin in the film's subtitles) as he sets off with his father to choose a bride from a rival tribe, the Merkits. ...
