In Reply to: RE: Sergei Bodrov's, "Mongol," the first part of a trilogy about posted by tinear on August 05, 2009 at 07:44:23

the theaters . . . even paid to see it twice (of course, not back-to-back!).

Originally it was supposed to be a trilogy, but even if it ends up a great two parter, I'd be happy.

The standard for cohesive trilogies has been set impossibly high by Peter Jackson's LoTR, and accomplished by shooting all three movies at one time.

There is another "Mongol" movie, entitled "Genghis Khan . . .", released in 2007, that is available through Netflix. It is a Japanese production. It's fairly disappointing and doesn't hold a candle to Mongol.
