Rad Ghengis Khan Movie! - Mongol review by CP Customer
What a fantastic movie! It really shows the softer side to the bloodthirsty legend of Ghengis Khan. The battle scenes were pretty gory, just what you want to see when people fight with swords. Splattering blood everywhere like in the Japanese samurai movies.

Roll On Part 2! - Mongol review by CP Customer
Mongol is a fantastic film, showing the ascent to power of Genghis Khan, with the second instalment of the trilogy due in 2010. While not entirely faithful to the legend, this cast of unknowns under the direction of Sergei Bodrov have produced a remarkable period film. The locations and backdrops are sensational, many of which probably haven’t changed since the real events. Epic battle scenes show the brutal nature of Khan’s rise to power. The only criticism I can offer is that despite being part of a trilogy, too much is crammed into this first film. We jump to key moments with increasing frequency, leaving many questions and stones unturned. I would have preferred a more leisurely stroll through Khan’s early years with a longer version of this film. However in spite of this, Mongol remains remarkable and essential viewing.
