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.
光看预告都想象不出这是部反战片…战场上的那一段仿佛在看低配版1917。英国人真的很喜欢反思一战，就这点上来说比前两部深刻了一点，虽然整体上来说还是white savior trope的基调…这IP可以到此为止了吧
给羊的镜头就知道最后肯定有她
我刚刚才保护你 我不需要保护
动作部分还好，尤其是俄罗斯疯僧的舞蹈。文戏就是一堆垃圾。
连007这种系列都几小心触碰的政治题材
...是有卖腐吗 完全没chemistry
又臭又长，历史戏说不够疯，借古讽今也没有，第一部的魅力一点点被耗尽。
把剧情穿插到一战前后的历史中。牧羊人组织是个搅屎棍，枪杀奥地利公爵引发英俄德开站，又使用手段逼俄退出战争，用女信徒勾引总统的录像吓唬美国好让其不参战，好让德国摧毁英格兰……剧情太扯太难看了。
德皇，沙皇，英国国王是表兄弟，这让我涨了知识。真没前两部好看。
一部比一部无聊，正传不拍改拍前传，前传一拖还跳票接近四年！然后你给我看这？我特么以为儿子是主角没想到是老爹是C位，关于金士曼起源讲了个快餐式成立？太敷衍了事了，如果再这样求导演一部都别拍了，没脸叔没蛋蛋消费不起这个情怀了…
这神角色爆笑爆抢眼！
几乎可以预见的无趣，除去几段打斗还留有一丁点首部的余韵，余下部分就是一场离奇且造作的历史解构，拉斯普金部分尚还能接受，列宁这段可就过分了。
莫名了个奇妙，大佬特工年衰体弱培养儿子成为精英二代继承衣钵，然后儿子就死了？？？合着这也是个工具人，老头子自己才是主角，这神马玩意儿？除了最后一战还有那么一咪咪可看，前面各种皇帝剧情简直稀碎，都不知道在作甚。
我们该回家 我才能保护你
花了一半的篇幅讲儿子，结果儿子死得草率又莫名其妙，让人看得无名火起。这部是怎么做到爽片不像爽片，战争片不像战争片，还妄图凭借抹黑历史来增加笑料的。你可以调侃历史，但不可以恶意扭曲。艺术工作者可以在自己的作品里夹杂自己的政治倾向，但绝不能让政治来绑架、粉饰作品。
()死了之后变难看，原本以为是心情的问题，仔细想想后半段的确没什么好看的，就看一个六旬老人与他的替身打影薄反派。btw关于最被讨论的历史部分，我只能说没那么好也没那么坏，就是初中生写的一战历史同人罢了，身为历史老师感觉很幼稚。MVP确实是山羊。
剧本扎实，镜头凌厉，配乐爆爽。
俄僧的芭蕾+哥萨克搏击舞步；
还是我觉悟低了，这他妈难道不是X英帝X建X大业，X津湖，X岸英，X宁在1918，瓦尔特保卫萨拉X窝，发挥伟大地搅屎精神，共谱一曲忠诚的赞歌！
马修沃恩的各种小脑洞给这部原本较为平庸的前传硬生生的增色一筹，这二战可以期待了
