anyone see it?

The story recounts the early life of Genghis Khan who was a slave before going on to conquer half the world including Russia in 1206.

Fuck movies like Braveheart. This was actually amazingly great. I hope they make the next two because there is so much story that is left considering that this is only about his youth and his wife. It was refreshing to see battle scenes without cgi.

I hope you guys get a chance to see this.

has there even been a good movie about genghis khan besides this?

there's the conquerer, which is essentially responsible for the death of john wayne (combined with all the chain-smoking)

It does look like one of those well-done historical epics. Jiggles, I'm glad you think the script is compelling enough, too.

This isn't even in town. This and the fact that The Fall was only playing in one theater on the entire peninsula is not right.
