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.
小帅哥死的时候惊呆。。一部英国人黑美国德国俄罗斯的片 列宁出场的时候笑死我了。。。2022/1/9品川T-Joy
是真真敢拍啊，羊群、牧羊人、战争与牺牲的意义，看着真有趣。
英国主旋律，同样无聊乏味。热爱和平英国人，真的是有够玄幻的
2.5的电影 就是没那么好笑的无厘头里又硬带了一些幽默 妖僧和列宁 就这俩了 想要复刻第一部的英式喜剧 结果在这部里又讲世界格局 父子抒情 谍战反转 注定让人抓不住重点
有几个点还挺有意思，儿子没有死在敌人的炮火下，死在了自己人的枪下；芭蕾动作戏不错；美国总统因为管不住下半身不敢参战。比较扯的点是腿伤魔法治疗，爸爸让妈妈去送人头，列宁同志被黑的不成样子。动作戏没有惊喜也没很拉跨，最大硬伤在铺垫和人物行动目的上很牵强。
世上最无奈事就是无法说服年轻人别犯傻，
我就是来看Aaron Taylor Johnson的，我要是知道他只有三场戏，我就直接看YouTube clips剪辑版了。
好乱好杂。忽然就《血战钢锯岭》、《阿甘正传》。
其实跟前面几部也没啥区别。除了第一部开头有点新设定，后面其实都是正常的动作片。这部把历史背景搞得很大，也有些故事原型，比如组织的仆人团队专门刺探领导级的秘密，不过黑漂亮国总统黑的有点过分了……最后的结局实在是太仓促了。
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。
电影很好看啊，这不是真正的历史，是站在英国人角度上的戏说，很有娱乐性，不必当真。
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
跳着芭蕾打架斗殴的情节还有点意思 其他就很一般
太难看了，剧情无逻辑，人物没有行为动机。某些镜头的暗示令人不适。珍爱生命，远离烂片
也没有那么差吧，就是太冗长了，也没有整个系列的第一部那种气质了，男主儿子居然中途就死了？？？看彩蛋应该还有下一集吧，要不是有 Aaron Taylor-Johnson，也不太想再看下去了
居然玩各种梗，拉斯普丁芭蕾打斗还挺炫的。刺杀就够搞笑的了，费尽心机扔炸弹没成功，没想到最后自己送上门。Conrad挂了我还以为是出现了平行时间线，主角居然也能挂，没想到真的挂了。嗝屁的时候居然如此的讽刺，队长为了救Conrad所以队长被自己人打死，Conrad以为救了卧底，没想到在跳进战壕前的最后一刻卧底被炸死了，最后自己被误认为是德国间谍居然被自己人给毙了，归根结底都是因为不听老父亲的话，太嘲讽了。
这么多人胡编乱造？这明显就不是历史片，只是戏谑，当然充满浓浓的西方的历史观价值观，喜剧动作来看还是很有意思的。几个动作场面很棒，就是帅儿子挂太早，虽然意识到他肯定得挂。
等到列宁出场，雷得外焦里糊······世上左右派拉扯变成阴谋论，再由王牌特工（英国）暗中“居间调停”，真是不小的意淫。
苏格兰裙真美好；几位近代史著名人物的出现也算是合情合理；年轻小伙儿第一次出任务就是色诱然而失败，挺逗的；动作设计和前两部的凌厉风格有所不同，这次有点民族风的感觉；组织的存在时间比想象中要短很多；反派BOSS的塑造有点失败。
先说下两场让我惊艳的戏：一场是拉斯普京的一挑三，一场是最终的击剑决斗，让我感觉最初的那个王牌特工又回来了一点点。
