Mongol Movie Trailer

Mongol Movie Trailer

By Hunter Stephenson/Feb. 2, 2008 11:28 pm EST

Exceeding all expectations and boldly showing up Hollywood on how to craft a stunning, historical battleground epic with tasteful violence and, sure, sweeping romance, Mongol was one of my top 10 films of 2007. And while it’s valid to make the argument for those films notoriously left out of the category, Mongol deserves to win this year’s Academy Award for Best Foreign Language film. The American critics who are not gushing over it, simply have not seen it and are dismissing for shades of the some reason that many will dismiss it after viewing this trailer: it’s being marketed like 300 meets The Last Samurai meets Hero.

Watch the trailer after the jump. Mongol will be released in the United States on June 8 by Picturehouse Entertainment.
