Mini-Review: Thanks for making a movie about the rise of Genghis Khan that did a terrible job of showing how he became Genghis Khan. The parts that might have been interesting (Temudgin gathering followers after his many travails) are COMPLETELY skipped to make room for a bad romance and sweeping visuals. The landscapes were beautiful mind you, but why not make a travelogue if that's all you want? I wanted a historically accurate war epic about Genghis Khan, and if that's what you want, don't see this.
Mini-Review: Why must we continue to have poorly developed, poorly acted, poorly scripted "romances" thrust into every movie? Neat visuals and Ron Perlman don't make up for bad dialogue, badly interpreted characters (Strauss and Sapien, lame for the second time in a movie) and plot holes I could drive a tank through. Very disappointing, especially after 'Pan's Labyrinth'.
