What a waste of millions of dollars! I just saw this movie on TV and I don't know what to say. This was the worst piece of garbage I've seen in many many years.

It's even worse than 'Dude, where's my car'. But I bet that 'Dude, where's car' didn't even cost a tenth of what this movies cost to make. I'm speechless!

Do not, I said do not, watch this movie, unless you want to see a big waste of Steven Spielberg's talent and a lot of money. I'm normally a big fan of Spielberg. So that's what amazes me...what was the man thinking when he made this movie?

Horrible!

Don't you just love the fact that everybody, and I mean everybody speaks English in this movie. Regardless if they're Italian merchants, afghan doctors, poor Mongol peasants, Mongol nobles or even Persian warriors. At first the actors at least speak with an accent. But further into the movie the actors forget to add the accent. I thought that the first problem an Italian guy would have when he arrives in 13th century China is to communicate, but not in this movie. The makers of the movie doesn't even pretend that there are difficulties in communicating, which is common in other movies, even if they both speak English.

To add to the credibility of this movie the roll of Kublai Khan is played by Brian Dennehy. Don't get me wrong, I like Brian Dennehy as an actor. But he hardly looks like a Khan of the Mongol Empire. The makers of the movie, again, doesn't seem to care. At least his character gets old. Which is not something you could say about Marco Polo, played by Ian Somerhalder. The only difference in his appearance is when he's in the prison in Genoa. And the difference? You guessed it! They add more beard to his face.

Overall a very bad movie. It's not worth wasting your time on.
