i be really amaze that this get an 88 % on rotten tomato and a nomination for best foreign film at the oscar . the 7 . 3 rating on imdb . that not so much of a surprise and see the way imdb user have be vote recently . i just can not get into a film in which the actual fact about it main character have clearly be distort and and not at all in a way to make the movie artistic and but rather to make it melodramatic and less boring . which and it turn out and actually make it very bore for anyone who be expect to see a serious and credible interpretation of the life of genghis khan . the far fetched and over dramatized mongol often echo the like of 300 and a film that couldn not be happy to be ridiculously inaccurate while but unlike 300 and mongol take itself seriously . it stoic seriousness and mixed with the obvious inaccuracy and be what make it truly the most boring film i have see this year while possibly the most action or biopic movie i have ever see . the character be pathetically write . honestly and i doubt genghis khan be a boring and passive a show in this film . which be funny to me and because if there anything that i would think should be change for the sake of theatricality and it make a boring person into an interesting person . the romance between khan and borte be similarly boring and simple and and stupid . also and without give anything away and mongol contain the single stupid scene i have see in a long time where there should be a good 20 minute of plot development and the film just skip forward without any explanation . it look like something out of a saturday night live skit that parody epic action movie with horrible pacing . ( do i mention how seriously mongol take itself . ) meanwhile and it drag like no film i have ever see before . even now and i could swear it be three hour long . about 45 minute into it and i check the time and be pretty certain that it be almost finish . besides some pretty scenery and quality act from asano ( naturally ) and mongol be honestly just a disaster . it completely fail to entertain me or enlighten me in anyway . i would never give this film a second chance . and not to sound racist or patriotic or whatever and but give me a trashy and mindless american epic over mongol any day . at least then i know what i be get and unlike with mongol and where the review and rating lead me to believe it be actually something worth see . the sad thing about how much i hat mongol be that i have friend who i know and without a doubt and would simply love it .
