Before I die, I'd like to visit that statue of Genghis Khan they built in Mongolia. It's the size of the Statue of Liberty:

But yes, it's nice to watch a movie about history that isn't completely Hollywood-ed out, if you know what I mean.
For example, I rented King Arthur a few weeks ago. Hugely disappointing, and barely even watchable. Instead of characters, it has caricatures.
Of course, that's what happens when you make a historical movie for a general audience: you end up with something no one can relate to.
