Now I shan’t spoil this for some of you like what I usually do [you know who you are], so I won’t put up a full review.

Mongol has many interesting tidbits to it that makes the film sellable. Good action sequences (with little CGI), lots of blood, flashes of gore, beautiful scenery, reflective camera work, cunning revelry, love, lust, culture and destiny.

But mind you, this story is an epic, about how Genghis Khan became who he was, so don’t expect too much hero action like other shows [scoffs at redundant Hollywood blockbusters: not that I don’t like them, just that too much makes it too dull]. Funny thing is that even the war scenes have some philosophical nature to it, that it is more than just war.

I certainly hope that there is a sequel to Mongol, to finish off what it started in this film.

7.5/10 stars
