Just bumping an old thread rather than starting a new one, but I watched this last night (on PPV), and thoroughly loved it. The mongolian scenery for the film is breathtaking and the whole film is visually very rich. I was expecting it to be much heavier on the battle scenes, but the story arc about him and his wife was by far the dominant part of the film, although the battles were great too. I have a hard time remembering another historical epic that I enjoyed as much as this one. And I was excited to learn that this is the first of a planned trilogy about Genghis Khan.
