The Legend of Gobi (2018). 2h 38m

“The last Mongolian film I watched was a film length documentary from 2016 called, u0026quot;The Eagle Huntressu0026quot;; it was excellent. This film I have literally just finished viewing on YouTube 30 so minutes ago but, alas I cannot say the same (yet every YT review of the film was full of praises for it except for 1 who put just one word to describe it, u0026quot;BORINGu0026quot;). It was also a dubbed English sound track from a bunch of emotionless uninterested non talent amateurs who, made a complete hash of it! So its 1 star for costumes and 1 star for camerawork scenery!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe scenery is fabulous and well shot with great camerawork throughout the film and, with 2 leading ladies who are very easy on the eyes and who have fantastic costumes. But all that is of no help towards saving what is a dreary, boring production (of the 459 films I have seen this year to date – 2021/September/27 – this has been the utmost boring one). If you do watch this film you will also find there are scene inclusions which are just totally unnecessary for the films story-line i.e. The badly done, and pointless, animal slaughter scenes and the badly filmed/implied nude love scene; that ended up showing nipple shots twice…oops!u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI suppose the saving grace factor of this film is its not another savagery showboat for the Borjigin family (who were the royal family of the Mongol Empire, dating back to the 13th and 14th centuries) specifically Genghis and Kublai Khan. They still couldnu0026#39;t drag themselves away from the Barbarian savage ruler theme though :)”
