Mongol is a beautiful masterpiece. It is one of the best movies since Braveheart.

Excellent scenery! Definitely worth seeing this movie. However, I found it a bit long and would have loved a bit more development in the battle strategies and tactics.

Amazing epic combining romance, drama and blood-geysering battle sequences that paints a broad portrait of the life and times of Genghis Khan. What I loved about this movie is that it doesn't focus at all on Genghis Khan's claim to fame of conquering half the world. Rather, it spells out the upbringing and starting steps of him as he grows up and turns into the world's most famous Khan. Reading history books alone, it is difficult to see him as just a little boy but this movie delivers those images in spades and it is quite a remarkable story. I was enthralled when I heard that the director was going to make this a trilogy. This first part will be hard to beat. Most definitely recommended. One of the year's best pictures.

Poor knowledge about Mongolian history, Mongolian customs and Genghis Khan himself. I don't believe people like it so much. All the Chinese people and Mongolian Chinese around me are disappointed in this movie.

We need more realistic and truthful movies like this one and less of the general Hollywood crap.

Really glad I went to see this film. The cinematography was worth the price of admission. Like "Atanarjuat the Fast Runner" (Inuit movie), you get to see how people have made a living in harsh climates. You also see how violent and cruel that life can be. Thought the 2nd half of the movie jumped from scene to scene with big gaps. Like someone stepped on the accelerator. After the movie "300", have seen a lifetime of gory, digital blood already.

A timeless tale, beautifully filmed, and spun in a way that grabs your attention, from start to finish. An epic film, well acted and well directed, with spectacular realistic battle scenes.

Excellent foreign film. The actors all had excellent training and played their roles well. Personalized the man who was the Leader of the largest empire ever known. May have left a some viewers a bit short with the jump from young man to final battle but was excellent nonetheless.

I didn't like it at all. The movie was exceedingly long and boring during most times. Wasting a lot of time with useless dialogues that didn't add anything to the story. The story itself felt a bit broken at times, as if they had a whole scene removed. There are nice landscapes, some good footage, few action scenes, and music that makes the movie worth to watch. But I wouldn't recommend it. Didn't do for me as anything in particular. Wasn't a good romance movie, wasn't a good biography, wasn't a good action movie... wasn't a good anything :( 4/10.

Even though I'm glad I saw this before Batman, I was awed. Breath-taking panoramas, excellent fight scenes, awesome sound (really), a timeless love story with twists & turns that only real life could produce, you don't even notice the sub-titles the acting is sooo good. I really thought I was there back in time riding horseback with the wind in my hair amongst to the Mongols. I went to this movies based on the reviews and geez did I get my money's worth! Best movie next to Batman, Iron Man this year, GO SEE IT!!!

This movie is a masterpiece of cinematography. I recommend it to anyone interested in these kind of films. I'm very unfamiliar with Mongol history but I was blown away at how difficult Gengis Khan childhood and how well he treated his own men. It's a bit long but I prefer it that way to complete the story-line. I'm pleased to hear this is the first of many to come.
