Synopsis:

 

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.

 

Brian's Rating: C- : Genghis Khan should be an interesting piece of subject matter for a movie.  Brutal warlord.  Conquered a good portion of the known world.  Good on a horse.

The movie delved almost nothing on his campaign for conquest, and touched only briefly on the necessary first step of uniting the Mongol's.  Instead, it focused on his childhood, and what helped mold him into who he became.  This perspective was somewhat interesting, and reasonably well done. 

The problem was that there were large gaps of the movie that I found boring.  It did a poor job of keeping my attention, and I would have fallen asleep if I was the least bit tired.
