best movie i've ever seen.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

i thought this was a very well made movie,both from a technical and visual standpoint.i have no idea how historically factual it is.Obviously the character of Genghis Khan did exist and probably around the time the movie depicts.whether completely factual or not(and most movies,other than documentaries,are not)i did like how they depicted Khan.we see him at birth,as a young boy,growing into a man,finally at adulthood.they really showed him first as a human being,then a warrior.in this movie,he isn't some bloodthirsty tyrant.i also thought the battle scenes were pretty realistic.there was very little CG,maybe one overhead shot.the acting was very good,as was the music.the only thing i had a bit of a problem with was there were so many warring tribes,it was hard to keep track of who was who.and it is pretty long,about 130 minutes without end credits.this particular DVD had the option of dubbed English,or Japanese with English subtitles.i viewed the movie with the subtitles,after trying the dubbed version for the first few minutes,and finding it too distracting.my recommendation is the subtitles.for me,Genghis Khan: To the Ends of the Earth and Sea is a 9/10

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.

I have viewed the TV series acted by the local Mongolian people, which really show us the ambition and character of a big man, Tiemuzhen.Actually, Tiemuzhen conquered the whole Aisa-Europe mainland. But why does the director stop in the middle. In the end of the movie, Tiemuzhen shoots out an arrow towards Chinese great wall. This is awful. Incomplete.Japanese spend a fortune on this movie and will circulate the movie to more than 60 countries, including 40+ European countries. About more than 100 million people will have chance to take a look at this so-called great movie.Those who know little about Mongolia will have a misunderstanding of Mongolia and this great historical figure.It's a bad movie. I don't recommend this title.
