Review – Mongol

This Genghis Khan: The Early Years biopic suffers from at least one of the same defects as Elizabeth: it ends just as it starts to get interesting from a historical point of view. However, Temujin’s childhood and youth amid the feuding tribes of Mongolia does make for some intriguing drama. I also enjoyed the non-Hollywood production values, particularly the decision to shoot the whole thing in Mongolian. Overall I found this an entertaining way to learn something. Mildly amusing
