Its about the rise of Genghis Khan. I'm a sucker for big epic battle scene movies, and its playing at the Charles which is the big art house theater in baltimore city, and was thinking of checking it out. It has to be better then the Love Guru or Get Smart right?

I really liked the flick. FWIW, here are my thoughts:
1) Slow pacing (at least by typical US standards). I personally thought it was good for the flick, and I am used to watching some slower paced movies.
2) Not as much action as you would expect...I was chomping at the bit waiting for either individual fights/epic battles...The "waiting game" did have the effect of really emphasizing the violence when it happened tho...and I thought the fight scenes were well done.
3) I second the previous comments about the cinematography. Really worth seeing on a big screen.
In summary, I would definitely recommend seeing it, particularly on a big screen.
