David, now an old man, is still king of Israel. Among his sons, the ambitious Adonijah and the clever Solomon. The two young men are fierce rivals, since both are prospective heirs to the throne and only one can be successful. During a hunting expedition, Adonijah challenges his younger brother Solomon to a chariot race. While Solomon, though brave, still retains a modicum of caution, the daredevil Adonijah is eager to win at all costs -- and loses control of his chariot. Solomon takes the seriously injured Adonijah back to Jerusalem. On the way there they meet the attractive Abishag, who despite her youth is versed in the use of healing herbs. She actually succeeds in helping the prince. Adonijah falls in love with Abishag -- but Bathsheba arranges things so that she works for David, hoping that her youth, her beauty and her healing powers will soothe the old king's suffering. Several members of the influential priesthood and also the respected army general Joab, who served David loyally for many years, support Adonijah's claim to the throne-- even though David has still not made any decision with regard to a potential successor. The battle-experienced Joab regards Solomon as an indecisive weakling, under whose leadership the kingdom would soon fall apart. When the prophet Nathan finds out about Adonijah's conspiracy he informs Bathsheba and Solomon, who urge David to take immediate action. And so it comes to pass that preparations to anoint the future king of Israel are made both at the Spring of Enrogel, where Adonijah and his men are encamped, as well as in Jerusalem. The festive procession for Adonijah has already been assembled and the people enticed with delicious delicacies to cheer him on, when the news of Solomon's coronation reaches Enrogel. The people promptly acknowledge the will of King David and stream off to Jerusalem in their hordes to greet Solomon, their future ruler. Adonijah remains behind with a handful of loyal followers. He realizes that he has lost -- for the time being. Humbly he places his life in his brother's hands. Adonijah is forgiven on one condition: that he always remains loyal to his brother Solomon. The great King David is dead, and his son Solomon has succeeded him as the rightful ruler of Israel. Adonijah now has a request to make of Bathsheba: he wants to marry Abishag. Solomon hears about this seemingly innocent wish, and recognizes it as a renewed ploy on behalf of his brother to reclaim the throne -- Adonijah's marriage to the last woman to share King David's bed would strengthen his political position considerably. Solomon knows that he has to act quickly and decisively if he is to secure his own power. He has his brother Adonijah and the latter's closest associate Joab executed. After this radical decision, Solomon withdraws to present sacrifices. In a dream the Lord appears to him and grants him the fulfillment of a wish, whatever it may be. Solomon merely asks for wisdom -- in order to become a good ruler and judge. War with Egypt is looming. To arm his kingdom against the territorial ambitions of its powerful neighbors, Solomon not only introduces several reforms but also decides to marry the daughter of the pharaoh. The Egyptian princess does not remain Solomon's only wife, however: as time goes by the king marries numerous noble women from many different countries for political and economic reasons. In this way he preserves peace for his people, and creates great prosperity. By allowing the women to continue practicing their domestic customs and religious rituals in Jerusalem as well, he comes into regular conflict with the priesthood, who see the foreign religions as endangering Israel's sole covenant with the Lord. The wisdom granted to Solomon by God becomes fully evident when the king sits in judgment. One day two harlots each claim to be mother of the same baby. Solomon's decision seems utterly cruel: he says that the child should be cut in two so that each woman receives half. Solomon can now determine who the real mother is from her reaction: she will not allow her child to be harmed. Solomon hands the child back to its true mother amid cheers of approval. One of the most important tasks handed down to Solomon by his father David is building the great Temple to house the Ark of the Covenant. It has to be larger and more magnificent than all other temples in the world, and Solomon now sets about fulfilling his father's wish. He places Jeroboam in charge of the Israelite workers as chief overseer. Seven years later, the work is completed. The expensive construction materials have been brought from far-off lands, and the people of Israel have paid exceedingly high taxes without complaint in order to finance the construction work. The Ark of the Covenant can now finally be taken to the Temple in a triumphant procession. After so many years of wandering, the Israelites' most sacred possession now has a fixed home of its own. People stream to Jerusalem from across the entire country to celebrate the great day. Abishag, now married, comes too and brings her family. Solomon has decided to mingle among the people in disguise, and he and Abishag are overjoyed when they accidentally meet again after so many years. The Temple makes Jerusalem and its king famous throughout the world. Even the dark-skinned Queen of Sheba sets off with a large retinue to visit the wise and cultivated Solomon and admire his magnificent city. The admiration turns out to be mutual: Solomon, captivated by her beauty, falls deeply in love with her. The two of them have a child, Menelik, but one day the Queen of Sheba decides to leave. She does not want Menelik to be deprived of the regal dignity awaiting him in his home country. Solomon stays behind, with a heavy heart. The king has now achieved everything he set his heart on, but with the passing of the years the wise Solomon gradually becomes a melancholy, skeptical old man who regularly questions his very existence. Material things seem to represent the only reality for him. He also refuses to adopt any kind of steady policy, especially in religious matters. With his foreign wives, Solomon sacrifices to foreign gods, and this incurs the wrath of the priesthood. The loyal Jeroboam appeals to his king's conscience, but to no avail. During one of Solomon's sorties in disguise among his people, a simple farmer reminds him of the first of the Ten Commandments revealed by the Lord to Moses: "You shall have no other gods before me." At another decisive moment, God Himself speaks to Solomon and announces the punishment for his sinfulness: the kingdom will collapse after Solomon's death. The king has grown old and weary. He has lost touch with the people of Israel, who are suffering from heavy taxation and forced labor. Solomon has treated his long-standing companion Jeroboam, to whom he entrusted the administration of the northern tribes, with murderous anger ever since a prophet predicted the division of the kingdom to him. The king no longer has the strength to change things -- he just leaves them as they are. The consequences of this become clear shortly after his death. Solomon's son and successor Rehoboam treats the country's leaders with arrogance, and provokes the division of the kingdom into two parts: the only tribe still loyal to him is that of Judah, while all the others unite under Jeroboam. The prophecy has been fulfilled. The kingdom that Solomon received from his father David, and invested with such might and magnificence, is now divided.
好吧，风格是很独特，但是神神叨叨的，哈姆雷特改编成了这个样子，真有点接受不能！
我错了！这片子真香！虽然依旧是超英的故事骨架但是又非常有功夫片的味道，还拍了可能有半本《山海经》进去，感觉上一次看到这么大容量高密度浑然一体的文化输出可能还是《卧虎藏龙》。以及梁朝伟真是所有超英电影里最让人心疼（和花痴）的反派！
大哥你要是被劫持就眨眨眼啊，干嘛拍这么个电影。。两星给毛毛和屁股（？？）
6.5/10。好遗憾，虽然题材早已耳熟能详，但本该是沉重的人性史诗却被拍成了直白的复仇故事，失却主题应有之凝练，独特的符号设计和细腻的影像质感也成了徒具其表的空壳。
中国武侠片+桃花源记Marvel版， 如果不是梁朝伟完美演绎绝世钟情的爱妻男， 还可以挽救这部电影， 不然最多只打两颗星。 主角面像实在太路人。 剧情也是一贯Marvel的戏路， 科幻片+时不时的搞笑元素， 当然也和钢铁侠的电影有联系。 有两个彩蛋， 不要错过。 第一个彩蛋最精彩！
快结尾的时候倒是一直在想非正义复仇的问题，觉得，这个方向还挺值得探讨的
王子复仇永恒主题，配上鲜血和杀戮，冰岛的末世风光，也是一次不错的体验。
已把预期降到最低居然还能叫人更失望 只剩画面服化道好看与考究. 别扭的“诗体”台词都不说人话了, 生硬的叙述与剧情质量感觉都比不过随便一集<维京传奇>剧集, 难为了卡司
打斗软绵无力犹如儿戏，人物刻画几乎没有，最出色的就是摄影了。我先走一步。
第一句台词，标准普通话，一出来就愣了，山水间梁朝伟和陈法拉的“太极”邂逅直接沦陷。除了武侠风的动作戏，山海经的取材，金庸式的爱恨情仇，形神合一的内功修为，舍得救赎的思想内核，中国元素完全不仅仅是流于表面。Marvel十年老粉很激动，终于有了代表自己的超能英雄，亚裔也有了自己的”黑豹“。
从暗处诞生的语言，见到光和火山扭曲成根正苗红的矮树
远低于预期，几乎没什么惊悚指数。妮可基德曼已经要走上这种不讨喜的母亲辈儿戏路了吗？
很喜欢灯塔，但这个真的很无聊，有的景色本身挺美的，特效居然也很差，gameofthrone即视感真的强，不过看看预算也可以管中窥豹电影和电视剧，好莱坞这些年确实还挺懵逼的，电影最后会怎么样真的挺难说的。。应该要有全新的电影出现了
比科恩的好太多了，将古装片惊悚恐怖化，摄影和配乐以及一些设计都是我非常喜欢的类型。
其实我感觉，男主当爹，梁朝伟当儿子，效果会更好一些。
如果是舞台剧还行，电影的话，太冗长，太无趣了
300和启示录的结合，超越了善恶的人类神话，敢于面对残酷的寒冷剧情。
则差了不少
