Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan

I was always curious about this famous conqueror I have read about. They have it on Netflix streaming so I thought I would give it a chance. Luckily for me the subtitles were available.

The movie is well done, the acting good, and the storyline may not be completely accurate, it gives a good recount of what may have happened. The effects were great and the filming of the landscape was very impressive.

I enjoyed the movie for what it is, even though it fell short of my expectations. If you like foreign movies, then I think you might like this too.
