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.
愚蠢，自刺杀始；纵观全局则是“Pr进阶”。
跟kingsman系列的共同点难道是发便当总是出人意料轰轰烈烈
美总统不参战是因为玛塔哈丽的仙人跳，
这个到底什么鬼畜！和第一部的距离差的太远了吧！
最近看了太多这种爆米花shit.这改写历史黑化列宁实在是。。。
你妈！这部比黑客帝国还让人失望！如果说王牌特工1够血腥，够有创意，第二部够热闹。这部就完全不像是一个导演拍出来的，，关于限制级的思考都消失。所有的动作都是平庸至极，所有作者性的恶趣味一概消失，况且也是一部R级电影，对应去年的黑客帝国，这两部就是绝对的一对。不想拍你妈就别拍，别在这作贱自己，恶心观众。去你妈的！
毕竟是历史，这么扯就显得不真实了。拉斯普丁那段很精彩，原来just dance同款了，怪不得巨累巨魔性哈哈哈
实在谈不上好看，戏说历史和政治也说不上有趣，好好地拍自己的爽片就得了呗，怎么还玩起深沉来了，不够爽，文戏又顶不起来，结果两头都不占。全片最佳的是热衷参战的儿子死于战场（自己人之手），这个段落该拿给国内那些动不动说要打仗，嘴上喊叫着战争的“爱国者”看。
除了配乐跟打斗场面保持水准，其他什么故事啊演员啊人设啊，垮得不是一星半点。为情怀多半颗星。ps :艾米丽画像比真人美丽一万倍！可惜儿子中二病害死自己！
马修沃恩说不拍X战警续作是防止烂尾，结果没过王牌特工这道坎
胡桃夹子，毛毛腿，Comrade Lenin, 略无聊
强烈推荐观赏。精彩有趣的大英帝国鹿鼎记传奇，金士曼的发起者就是韦小宝嘛。但是对一战和当时的国家与政治的复杂（虽然已经极力简化）情况，可能让一些观众有点头晕，导致评分不高。截止2022年2月12日晚，豆瓣有1.7万人标记看过，分数5.6分。
确实跟第一部不能比，还是别带脑子看了，三星里的一颗星给Harris的颜值
老牌特工拉尔夫父子团vs沙皇座下的creepy monk
电影整体打斗方面都不错，画面也很好，但是，剧情太差了，而且居然将希特勒和列宁作为幕后黑手，双方故意引发战争，据说这部前传和第三部有关，如果今年9月真要接着拍第三部，还和这部前传有关系，那我觉得可以提前完结篇烂尾了。
美总统不参战是因为玛塔哈丽的仙人跳，
反派组织利用美人计让美国总统不敢开战，这类间谍确实有过，我不得不说，这么强大的反派却被Oxford灭掉一半，而且这人还动不动就杀自己人，全程就是一个过渡电影，王牌特工3究竟想铺垫什么剧情，发起第三次世界大战？
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。
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。
上周下载下来看的时候破口大骂 历史虚无 胡扯八扯 这周看完：我给80分 this might be how this world works for the fuck sake, and if not, please be!
