Visually stunning and excellent costuming. Having said that, it's really not much more than soft porn wrapped within pseudo-history. Full of mumbling and anachronisms, it was painful for me to watch as a history teacher. Morally, it is not something I could show in a family setting. Typical rendering of our times - pushing an immoral agenda in the guise of history.I don't buy that the sex scenes have to be included. They are NOT included for historical accuracy - they are included to appeal to prurient instincts. If you read the writings of Polo, I think you will get a much different picture than this film portrays. So sad we've reached this point in media entertainment. It could have been a marvelous series.
