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.
进城之前8分，然后急转直下让人大翻白眼。第一部想自己重写结局的电影。
从小女孩一出来的情节发展都极其不合理，后边像是没有经费了一样敷衍潦草的结束了。
2022.7.25 主題非常清晰，清晰到顯得全片是寫砸了的命題作文，編出來的故事滿滿的草率蹩足交差感，硬拗得不講道理。看之前還以為是海上版how to train your dragon，結果也就差了2000個小黃人吧。唯一追得上的就是音樂了。
还是老生常谈的话题，与生俱来被灌输的观点是否真的是对的，盲目的民众，盲目的相信，一代人传一代人。这其实都是政治隐喻，不能深说。
前20分钟挺好看的，以为是动作片，等到小女主上船了就惨了，开始变成儿童片，再等红魔鱼变成了傻白甜，全片已经朝动物环保片的深渊一去不复返了——看了40分钟弃剧
组合了各路电影IP的招牌元素，让两小时的成片相当丰满；不仅仅是应接不暇的冒险，同样展示情感意义满载的成长路。但中间的唱段和最后的片尾演绎，都让人感觉如果有更多音乐的部分，会让气质更加出挑；稍显累赘的叙事进展，也有些破坏了考究画风所带来的片刻新鲜。Karl Urban的配音很有趣，与演员有足够信服的火花；拓展下去或许并非问题，说不定还能成就Netflix靠拿动画BP实现“曲线救国”。
看到一半看不下去了，可能我有颗伪圣母心。海报里小红挺酷的。

故事过于套路，就是稍微无聊一点的驯龙高手，但是视觉上还是很享受的
场景绝美，树叶场面看起来很逼真，开头动作场面有点刺激，前中段很不错，致敬加勒比海盗，听说这部是海洋版驯龙高手，有点好笑哈哈。
太老套了 不适合成年人观看 一个六岁的小女孩动摇了一个二十多岁一直坚持的信念
去电影院看会很适合，色彩明快，故事清晰。剧情有点套路，结局也太童话，大团圆来得太快。但现实既然这么惨淡，为何不片刻体会一下，这不真切的美好。。。假装自己只有五岁🙄
王室的洗脑工作做得太差了，几代人的书籍传说都抵不过小孩的几句话。能达成和平的限制条件太多了，持有武力的双方要相互信任对方的善意，广大民众也需要相信假想敌是当权者的阴谋。人类目前的能力估计是实现不了吧。
PS:我已经不再好奇，小红很安全，我在这里应有尽有。怎么看，都满满的忧伤。幸福的忧伤啊。
一个成熟的动漫工业出产的合格的动漫电影，但是看了开头就明白结局，推荐爆米花&合家欢
海兽版驯龙高手，画风蛮好看的~没往深里讲，毕竟是儿童电影
剧情设计合理紧凑，聚焦主线，放弃支线。看情况可以出续集，继续交代前代人物历史和后续剧情，基本就是套路满满。无任何深度，几乎不加入任何思考和情感发展，阅后即焚...
