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.
作为小成本，可以的。动作戏很漂亮。故事老套简单但是节奏还行，画面看的出尽力“体现”审美了。
短小利落，动作舒畅，难得的合格武侠片，值得嘉奖
故事简单到不值一提，但近年能把古装动作拍出这水准确实少有
网大一般的故事，但不是网大一般的制作。运镜和剪切都很干脆利落，场景道具制作也是尽心尽力，就凭一支羽箭的特写，就可见创作班底是在认真做事了。谢苗作为演员的外型差强人意，以前的小洪文定倒是鬼小精灵大。
3.5质感很好，但故事有点说不过去，人物说话做事都有点“装”不过在武侠文化逐渐凋敝的今日，有这么一部片子，真的蛮难得的。
SRDS，已经比大部分国产片强多了，就好比ICU里躺了一片，突然有一个颤颤巍巍站起来了，还走了两步，这不是惊喜，简直是他妈奇迹！
是最近看的较为不错的网大了，制作限于成本也能如此精良，虽有些不足，但是还是让人觉得片长真短啊
挺贫穷的制作，就那么几个场景翻来覆去地用；挺老套的故事，基本看了开头就能猜到结局。但是这片子偏偏能用寒碜的预算达到了非常高的完成度，整体的道具质感、打光、武术全都不掉链子，有几段镜头还挺惊喜，总算是让人感受到了导演的那份追求，挺难得的。谢苗的表演不算出彩，但让人印象深刻，很有成为青年张涵予的潜质，加油啊。
十步杀一人，千里不留行
武术指导非常好，谢苗灵的，可惜剧本相当简陋，镜头剪辑也是网大统一水准，没什么电影感，比较可惜吧
一般吧，当个爽片看，剧情和逻辑基本一窍不通，服化道也不行，不过几处动作戏挺好的，但是全片没有高潮
ps谢苗在另一个网大里演孙悟空就已经很帅了！
2022.07.02于南京高科荣境
简单直接，回归传统，剧本不用太深刻，做到干净利落，其实有谢苗足够的功夫支撑下，一部网大完全能出彩。只是在眼下的时刻谢苗如果没有一套能让所有人亮眼记得的东西，估计也就是这样了。
卯足了劲讲个故事，但终究做戏而已。太过于符号化，最终也就只留于形式。
乱世有大侠，而今靠网络
剧情仓促，故事平庸，动作戏一般。作为网大也许质量不错。不过也就及格线水准。主持公道哪有这么简单。
这种类型的片打斗一定要漂亮，摄影一定要美，因为剧情没啥可看的。还可以学学老外吹吹口哨，后面的哼哼就没必要了，难听。
感觉有日子没有拍出这么爽快的武侠电影了吧，在这个古装动作类型式微的时代，干净利落的动作设计和简介干练的人物关系与对话，再加上导演勇于把时长缩减到70分钟，很难让我不为之喝彩。当然了，这部电影依旧只能达到七分的水准，作为徐克的前编剧，杨秉佳作为编剧真不行，当导演竟然还有两把刷子，何不直接把编剧的权力交割一下，我想电影的一些细节上会扣的更细腻；群众演员实在是太一般了，出戏感严重，这也可以说是网大资源有限，对现场管控有些力不从心；服化道方面中规中矩，语文家那场混战虽然有以倭代唐的嫌疑，但整体观感不错，就是火焰刀那一幕，莫名有些熟悉，确实蛮帅……奖励八颗星，希望谢苗能和杨导演一直合作下去……
很不错，不啰嗦不煽情不卖惨……动作灯光镜头剪辑都很棒！
