An interesting movie. Lot's of beautifull shots, cool acting and nice t see an " epic historic movie" doing some " off beat" things (like skipping most of the major battlescenes and stopping the movie just before the " major events " in the characters life. The movie starts of a bit slow, with a lot of repatition(he get's captured, he escapes, you see him runing a loong beautifull fields and he get's captured again).. It also lacked a bit backstory on mongolian life.

Wonderful battles.

The scenery is beautiful and the main story appealing, but overall it's formulaic and, suprisingly, very Hollywood-esque.

"Bodrov whips up enough wild, unruly energy and, in his depiction of sex as a Mongolian female's most vital commodity, sociological scraps to help overshadow the somewhat cheesy dubiousness of his myth-making project." - Nick Schager

More like "Genghis Khan - The Fictitious Origin". Here I was expecting thousands of furious mongol warriors conquering and pillaging through Eurasia and we only get a couple of fights. It's also ridiculous how they make his life revolve around a silly romantic subplot. We´re talking about a man who screwed as many women as his exhausted genitalia allowed him to, for god's sake.

It's pretty good-involves a touching love story and epic battles-but a bit too slow for me

Very Good.

Good old-fashioned epic in the mold of Braveheart, with aspirations to Kurosawa occasionally surfacing. Sets up the conflicts well, and is consistently entertaining, though for a movie that only covers the rise of Genghis Kahn, it's frustrating to see certain crucial parts elided (like, he gets out of prison and re-united with his family, and next thing you know he's commanding a vast army).

Historical accuracy is out the window and there are certainly leaps in time that leave you asking "why didn't they show us that?" All that said, it still tells a coherent and captivating story, this version of Genghis Kahn is harsh but still possible to root for, and the visuals are beautiful. Treat it as fiction and enjoy the ride.

Loved it! Just sit back and relax and see a young determined kid go through countless hardships to become the greatest conquerer of all time. I thought it was kind of like Dances with Wolves because of the length of the movie, the 'weight' of it and the beautiful scenery.

Very enjoyable film. Good cinematography and a nice look at the legend himself. One of the things I liked about this movie was that it really didn't tell you to like or dislike Khan. It just you the story and let you decide.

An interesting look at Genghis Khan's rise to power. The pacing is wonky, dragging in some places while skipping over lots of important details in others. But it's an enjoyable movie that's beautifully shot, and the battle scenes are pretty cool.

Ghengis Khan's legacy is still prevalent in today's government and social philosophy. He did in fact truly believe that behind every great man, is a great woman. I recommend "Ghengis Khan and the making of the modern world". A fine read.

So, so good. Amazing battles, we get a hint of strategy which is more than we usually get in these kinds of epics. The locations looked absolutely breathtaking. I know that some people were looking for more epic battles, and we may get some of those in the sequel(s), if they ever come, but I find it much more suspenseful when you have, let's say, under 50 men, and every single person counts. And also I found myself touched by the romantic story. There's nothing wrong with this movie.
