Saw this flick last night and I really loved it. As I understand it many Mongolians hate the film for historical inaccuracies and a heavily accented cast (the lead is from Japan) but if you are unfamiliar with the area and culture you'll find a great story that brings a new light to a historical figure that a surprisingly large portion of the world reviles.
-The cinematography is gorgeous and the subtitle script is excellent.
-What really makes this film great are the performances and the action scenes.
-When he gains followers and unites Mongolia you understand why.
-Hopefully the film will get people to read more about the original man and discover the historical inaccuracies.
-Of course as historical accuracies go it much more accurate than Elizabeth: The Golden Age.
