A very good movie about Temujiin's early life and how he became Genghis Khan, leader of all Mongol tribes. The acting was simply good, the costumes worn seemed very realistic and combined with spherical shots of the Mongolian steppes makes that you really get sucked into the story and the world in which it takes place. Battle scenes were also abundant and realistic, showing the mounted warfare of past times.
As a rather critical person when it comes to historical accuracy, I'd recommend this to anyone that likes historical movies. Though this movie has it's inaccuracies, they do not hurt Temujin's character or the movie in general. Coming from the West, I also had no problem with the actors speaking Japanese instead of Mongolian. Simply see it if you have the chance, you won't be disappointed.

For this genre of Movie this was a excellent epic. Go see this picture and then watch Coen Bros Oscar film and wonder why the Blue Wolf wasn't distributed in the States and up for the Oscar. The comment that was made about Mongol woman should not have make up is silly. Only women in England get to wear make up? That is sad. Did Cleopatra or the women playing in Ben Hur. This is a movie, not a documentary. Fact is many Japanese have always revered Temujin. Having great Japanese actors sure beats having the folks in Hollywood or Pinewood studios dressing up as the great Blue Horde. You just don't get good epic pictures anymore. I applaud Shinichirô Sawai & Takashi Sorimachi. I was very happy with this picture. I hope more Japanese productions like this get made, with wider distribution so more people see these wonderful films! Hooray Onehei HanKacho!
I was a bit disappointed with the film, I had an impression as if I watched some kind of samurai film, sorry about that :-) Secondly, Mongolians look a bit differently.I mean their physical constitution, face colour; clothes should be adopted to harsh continental climate.Yurts were with wheels on. OK :-) actually who cares of these petty things, that's fine. I liked the music- really nice. What I couldn't understand- you could clearly see the makeup on women. Sorry, but that's really out of place- women in Mongolia were not geishas. They should have worked more seriously as it is a historical character and consulted with Mongolians.
First of all the movie is historically very inaccurate. The director "kills" Zuchi some 20 years earlier than he was supposed to die, "makes" Jamukha to kill Tooril, who was actually killed by Naimans, and so on. I know to put the story of Genghis Khan into a single movie is very difficult. The movie seems to be mostly talking about whether Temujin is Esukhei's son and whether Zuchi is Temujin's son. This topic might be interesting for many, but Temujin is a very strong historical figure and it is hard to believe that he was depressed too much over this dispute. HEWell, my point is this movie is not for learning history at all. Somehow for mongolianss the behaviors of main characters seem quite comical. People couldn't help but burst to laughter when Temujin makes quick movements to hold his woman.
3/16/18. This movie was ok, from an entertainment standpoint, great scenery, battles and costumes. Story could have used some editing so it would flow better. For example, there's no explanation how the baby Jochi is an adolescent the very next scene. This happens several times so that the viewer is never sure of when things are happening.
