It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.
Ariella Broughton
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

Marco Polo in one of the latest, and a most expensive Netflix TV show, that tells us about an Italian traveler of 12th century. 2 seasons overall cost was 200 million dollars, its aqual to Game of thrones series. I decided to see it, when second season had already finished, and everyone were discussing the decision on Netflix company about closing the TV show. I thought that maybe it was not good enough, and that's the reason, but I was wrong. This TV show is about a Mongolian empire, by the way one of the biggest in the world, in times of Chengishan death. The are not so many movies of TV shows about Mongilian culture, so in was automatically at least interesting. It can be said that it looks like Game of thrones, but I don't think so in conclusion. Marco Polo is more serious and historical true TV show, which can show us the most important historical events of Mongolian epire and very famost Italian traveler, who travelled throw Mongolia and became a very valuable friend of empirator.One of things, that I really like about the TV show, is how beautiful and expensive it looks. It really can be compared with Game of thrones, and lovers of big budgets and epic battles can be satisfied for sure. Another great thing Is a cast. It looks amazing, even without number one stars in it, everyone plays very realistic. Also the plot is fantastic, and the only disappointing thig is that its not fiinished because on Netflix decision In conclusion I can say that of will definitely like this TV show, if you like Game of throne, kung fu, or epic historical dramas. Don't listen to critics that critisize it unfairly. My advice is to try and evaluate this great show by yourself

But even though I did not see the 2 seasons until March/April of 2018, I was extremely impressed with the show's producers, choice of actors to play all the roles, and especially the main characters. The main actors all looked different enough so non orientals could follow the fast paced story line, not to lose the characters in a sea of look a-likes. I much say, the main actors FIT PERFECTLY. Secondly, as a historical novel, the story line fit well enough to be believable. Thirdly, the sub actors were also magnificant, and the panaromic display was extremely well done. The computer enhanced scenes such the the firey running white horses were amazing. I must say BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO

From the now-disgraced Hollywood Mogul comes this piece of fantasy/ historical revisionism. As someone who was always fascinated with the story of Marco Polo, I cannot stress my disappointment in the story-line, which mocks anyone with the vaguest knowledge of history. And while of course there were concubines and harems in this part of the world, women simply did not disrobe and conduct martial arts or initiate orgies at the slightest provocation. And of course the anti-Christian sentiment is always underlined; with the Christian characters either portrayed as cowards or the worst schemers...despite the reality that Empress Chabi and most of her children were also a pious Christian scholar (although this perversion of history prefers to portray her as a lusty, sex/power hungry siren). This is clearly the brain-child of a sexual predator (no surprise here, since it comes from Harvey Weinstein). While on the one hand it IS nice to see Asian actors getting a forum to work, my guess is everyone who is writing all the rave reviews is either paid by Weinstein/his production co or secretly getting off on the creepy sex scenes here.

I heard that this show is being canceled. Please someone tell me this is not true!!! This show is amazing! Great acting, great writing and plot, and for once I found myself enjoying every characters story and perspective. Not one episode was bad in my opinion. Please tell me it's not true
