As a fictionalized version of the Attila saga, I would say that this movie is passable. True, historical accuracy goes out the window. Better if an Asiatic actor was chosen for the role of Attila, like Sergei Bodrov did by picking Tadanobu Asano to play Genghis. Instead we have a lamentable Hollywood history of white men feebly adapted. In the older version of Attila (Sign of the Pagan) the part was played tolerably well by Jack Palance, but with the usual dodgy history. And what screwball figured on John Wayne to play Genghis? Charles Bronson would have been great in either of these roles, as he at least had that rugged Mongolian looking appearance, especially with the eyes and moustache. So why pick guys like Gerard Butler to play Asiatic warlords? Butler is a good actor, but best in European roles please. I did enjoy this film, but I had to suspend belief to do it.

Sorry for the low rating. This review would really benefit from a bit more explanation of the plot, information on the actors and director, price and availability. If you edit this, let me know and I'll re-rate
