Review of Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan (2007) by Rob M — 12 Jan 2009
While the plot contained some twists and had rather strange and slow pacing which almost caused me to fall asleep at times, the overall effect of this movie is stellar. The cinematography rivals, while being similar to, movies such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
The score was amazing. The acting was, to my English speaking eyes and ears, convincing. The few combat scenes were filmed and choreographed to great effect while being quite blood filled. I am not sure how historically accurate this movie is, but it works as a decent piece of cinema.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes art films and historical epics.
