They try to tell the entire life story of Chingis Khan in 53 minutes, which is obviously not nearly enough. The result is that every thing is glanced over very quickly giving little valuable information and feels extremely rushed.
It's also obvious that they didn't have the budget to do it right. They talk about 100.000 horses but you only see about 100 of them per scene. The special effects are non existent, if someone gets shot by an arrow they simply cut to the person with the arrows already in their body. There's no blood or gore, no heads being chopped off either.
They did their best with the resources they had, it's definitely not all bad, there are a few cool scenes but they could have been better.
The movie requires a large amount of viewer imagination to fill in the many blanks.
