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.
用电影方式来呈现的一篇北欧萨迦。原来莎剧《哈姆雷特》对原著中的维京民族风做了巨大的删减。
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（？？）
乐子极多，值得一看，尤其最后克苏鲁大战东海龙王大草，仿佛在看哥斯拉番外。以及杨紫琼对刘思慕说你长得真像你妈（陈法拉）。我：你瞎还是我瞎？
主线剧情王子复仇 所有台词神神叨叨 在如坐针毡中结束观赏 有些画面确实挺美 安雅也确实挺美 但美人美景 也无法改变 这是一部可有可无的烂片 另外 我甚至觉得编剧可能最近在玩《刺客信条：英灵殿》……
三星半。摄影上的中心构图、特写对切，低照度的打光带来的古典主义风格，艾格斯在美学上是花了心思的，更不用说还有他擅长的民俗元素，尽可能的在文化细节上还原古代的北欧，单从影像风格来看，这个充满神秘主义的北欧比科恩改编的苹果式审美的室内苏格兰强太多了。然而如果没有自己独特的理解就拿莎翁的原始文本去套模版，最后只会变得无趣乏味，我也相信艾格斯在制片商掣肘之下，影片离他最初的设想已经越来越远，最终变成美学和文本极其分裂的作品。对比之下，不得不说A24真是个好公司。
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
这么长，为什么不拍成美剧呢？没什么吸引力。
很傻的商业片模版海报，看起来却很意外，近期不错的影像片
视听真的挺一般，当然影院肯定有加成，而且我看的版本画质吃紧。片头的cg，cg感要溢出来了and打戏说是垃圾吧好像也还好，但总感觉在慢动作花式打戏，说穷倒也别，毕竟片头cg那必须贵。谁能告诉我为什么他爸前脚刚出门就被射死了，而且这么多剑全中他一人身上，这帮人是存心不想野火烧尽吗？安雅这部挺美的（只露一只眼睛版），白金建议焊死。怎么说也还是曾经被e蛊到过，现在只想让他好好洗澡。感情线的起点应该在哪里？唯一立体的角色也就妮可了但是咱说实话和e演母子那是真的看不下去。
進場後發現：哇！陳法拉！
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？
天才导演 还是艾格斯一以贯之的作者表达。有毒男性气质的由来，是因为毒蘑菇一般的神秘仪式的代代传承，导演把它藏在民俗宗教和神话故事的壳子里，藏好，藏好。
看着神神叨叨的，还是一个靠暴力才能解决的老套复仇故事。
故事好瞎哦，原来是北欧版王子复仇记，可是他老妈比哈姆雷特的老妈毁三观多了，更不谈那个结局了。。。想看北欧维京人故事的可以看美剧维京传奇和维京传奇衍生剧英灵殿，战争权谋宫斗，个人觉得各方面都比这个拍得好。
北欧的战舞太cool
本片试图还原北欧的巫术与祭祀文化以打造本片的史诗感，但过度放大面孔的特写镜头与游戏CG式的打斗与战争场面却使本片显得廉价且失真
被吊打一通，再被老妈挥两刀，半大小孩插八刀，依然可以策马奔腾去决斗。
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
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！
故事的宗教性不太了解,但是氛围至少拉满了,奥丁于女武神,各种祭祀主角神光附体,绝对是相当痛快!
