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.
妮可基德曼的表演很惊艳 许多处特效化妆是不错的参考 很想知道怎么做的 应该是道具结合CG
也不能说电影拍的不好看，就是不太喜欢，看了一点看不下去了
剧情太傻了，人物太假了，两个彩蛋之间隔的时间太长了，梁朝伟老了，接班人到底去哪了？
在混沌无光的世道里，
啊……啊…………啊。啊！啊啊啊，啊，啊啊啊啊啊啊，啊！啊！！！啊啊啊！！！啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！！！！！咔嚓~
舞台剧留在舞台就好了...简直就是维京版图兰朵
但还是值得一看！
好熟悉的三個演員，作為本部電影的三個真chinese卻全部領便當也是夠好笑的。印象很深刻是男主被說「長得像媽媽」的時候全院響起被迷惑到的笑聲哈哈哈哈哈估計也是香港觀眾限定。麒麟很可愛，打鬥場面非常爽，這部戲的核心思想其實是太極yyds吧...劇情很拉，非常拉，我覺得文武根本沒錯，尚氣說要殺了他也挺莫名其妙的...
我的建议是steam战神史低的时候买一买试一试都比这有深度~
北欧人可以理解为维京人，其实从预告就可以明白全部的故事主题，正片因为看球赛竟然分了四五段看完，视觉上用神话的手法做足了美感但剧情略显呆板，空洞无味，AD895年儿时的主人公目睹国王父亲被弟弟谋杀，母亲被掳走成性奴，逃窜后长大成人，成为了狼族队员，在一次屠村后内心被唤醒报仇的意念，选择假做偷渡奴隶回到故地，70多分钟的复仇里从母亲那里得知了亲父人品败坏母亲串通其弟谋杀，复仇全过程并无大场面，很容易过几周就忘记故事讲述了什么，从精神到肉体，倒是充满了教会神话，野战，裸体，SM，北欧美景，小女孩也是这几年我最喜欢的演员，如果能有这么一个老婆，这辈子我也不会出轨了
目前有的几条机翻字幕看的有点头疼。北欧风情有了，视听也够了，可惜这次导演忽视了故事，很空洞
画面意境很到位了，但是剧情就真的……不知道故事的意义在哪里，才疏学浅，看看影评怎么说吧。
在视听和剧本上，本片都延续了导演前作《灯塔》、《女巫》的基调（黑暗、神秘、疯狂、虚无），母亲这个角色的塑造更是带有强烈的波兰斯基风格。在处理这个曾被无数次影视化的原文本时，导演明智地对故事进行了大幅度删减，更加着重描绘主角的强人意志、偏执狂一面，而对其内心的疑惑、动摇一笔带过，这种做法为旧文本带来了新意，让影片免于俗套。类似电影可看波兰斯基的《麦克白》，二者中都有类似的偏执、暴戾、绝望。
我觉得吧....看看帅哥还是行的.其他就算了
5.0 趣味止于人物近乎抽搐的表演，艾格斯仿佛丧失了《女巫》中对于民俗人类学的探索而转投于完全符号化的神话叙事，大部分剧情就像《刺客信条英灵殿》的过场动画那样味如嚼蜡，就连最重要的anti-Hamlet的twist也无趣得紧，在《日出英烈祠》面前简直是过家家。
拍得既写实残暴又神叨叨，气质还不错，就是简单的复仇老故事不适合用这般拖拉的节奏 / 导演继续在补全他的“写实欧洲神话历史”
画面很好，打斗太平常了，剧情实在是太套路普通：拿了把牛逼的剑废了牛劲，那么多巫师帮忙，结果还是那么费劲，唉
就从来没在这类型的内容里看到过干干净净的北欧人。皱着脸看完的，一句fokk都没有，笑不出来，不能否认有着强烈的美感。复仇题材能写得让人想要两边都活着，就是好的。不过仇人们在瓦尔哈拉相见了怎么办。
北欧的战舞太cool
但还是值得一看！
