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.
过程其实是比较狗血的，但结尾男女主终于长相厮守，以为自己不能生孩子的女主大着肚子教孩子钓鱼，让人还是觉得有点感动。片子处处透着一股子宗教福音电影的味道。
他的荣华如橄榄树；
如黎巴嫩的树木扎根。
又是一艘黄金海盗船扬帆起航，随后凋零的稀疏平常的剧本故事。
爆米花电影，轻松愉快。寻宝套路虽老但爽。就是选角不太喜欢，nathan喜欢的那个女的我还以为四十好几了……
哪有你们说的那么难看，至少荷兰弟的表现比今年那部蜘蛛侠强多了。前面弱智了点，最后一场海空大战挽回观感，后悔没有到电影院去看。
探险叙事都是开挂无脑驱动，阻碍因素是外部抵抗力量，缺少卡关和解谜的细节，本子很粗糙过时。奇观场面能看，飞机和古船空中大战很有动作娱乐想象力，也扣紧了主题，强化了人物塑造。两位女性角色都有很强的 masculinity 意
两星半吧，期待太高了导致看的时候有点失望。本以为会是个爽片结果看得我煎熬，节奏太差了，明明是第一部但是人物人设交代的不清楚，情节什么的感觉也很牵强
如果是别人演勉强及格，荷兰弟演，两星以下。看完怎么说呢？毫无惊喜，两个男主几乎没有性格魅力上的塑造，以至于大结局你根本对两人毫无感觉，俩女主也是工具人，尤其是一刀杀老大得情节，简直莫名其妙，反派降智，情节干瘪，连合家欢的爆米花电影都算不上，就每次情节转折你都以为它会憋一个大的，然而真的转折后你就会发出，就这？这样的感叹，关键是这种转折出现了三次以上，以至于最后都懒得猜，只能摆出快结束吧！爱咋咋地的表情。反派不强就代表主角很弱，荷兰弟算新生一批里流量和演技都在的明星了，实在想不出为啥演了这样的烂片，结尾看样子还有2，可得了吧！
It’s the pain that brought us to this moment.
还看了书评，明白了，文字能表达出来的情感绝对要比影象更丰富，更来势汹涌，其实当看完电影，我不太理解女主的作，我也不太理解男主的无限光辉；但是看了一个书评（四次出逃）之后，我仿佛能理解了，女主要寻找到自己的上帝才能真正安顿，才能找到吾心安处，不得不说，这是一部好作品，一个女主在贬低女性的年代中得以遇到良人，找寻自我。
最近看了一堆压抑题材，换换口味也不错。
看懂的 就知道 因着信祂 我们每个人都在这样的爱中
主角之间没有化学反应，冒险解谜过程不够有趣，动作场景也没有创意，一部中规中矩没有任何亮点的电影。
少了点精彩刺激，剧情有点硬，还行吧。总觉得荷兰弟打着打着就得整点蛛丝吊在天棚上。不过能看
少了德雷克的拆迁办，没追车剧情，这看着不爽，其他还行，场景还原可以

感觉电影很想突出救赎的主题，但有些用力过猛，表现的有些牵强
特效还行，但是动作戏想向成龙靠拢，还需努力。
