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.
红色巨兽...那是中国嘛？海洋霸权国家，请不要伤害红色巨兽啦... 相安无事的，不好嘛？
童话意味浓烈，如果敌我双方的长期矛盾可以靠一段演讲消解，那世界就没有那么多灾难了。
没想到美国人也拍这种主题先行的影片，结尾完全不切实际，就算是童话世界也完全不可能发生。唯一亮点是小蓝。
这种音画美的动画适合在电影院看效果会更佳，剧情整体俗套，海兽与猎人的世界观、格局还没打开完就匆匆结束了，这或许是这部动画电影最掉分的地方，卡尔·厄本打完祖国人开始打海兽了。
一个三十岁的中年人的阅历看这部电影，童话永远是童话，现实中没那么多救世主，也没那么多清醒的人。
幸亏我先看了一眼，要不然就跟孩子看了。
从另一方面想，如果红色海兽代表CN一切似乎又说得通了。
究极缝合怪，无牙仔，环太平洋，漂流派。海战有刺客信条黑旗内味儿了。屠夫的配音显老，很难想象这声音是个黄毛小青年，可能是先入为主了吧哈哈。最后附上一个观察：多数影视作品里，把异世界的宠物/萌物，都会对应到狗上，这是偷懒还是想象力匮乏？
are we living in a lie thought?
话面美爆了，角色激萌。人设故事幼稚老套到恶心也没讲清楚扣一星。不动脑子的养眼佳作
好感动，很难解释“大人”是什么，要抛弃一些时间一些人一些事情，要把这些全都抛在身后才能更向前一步，可是有些东西不能抛弃，有些东西不想抛弃，现在的我只能活在过去特定的时刻里，是曾经的时刻给予我养分，现在不过是过去的回响和观照，这样的我无法成为大人。就算看似正常地随着时间体面地前进，依然会在午夜的出租车上闪回过去的种种片段，据说临死之前人的回忆会像走马灯一样重现，是否活着的每一个时刻都基于前一个时刻的小小死亡？BGM就是我的青春，直接戳中我的心
结尾有些生硬 带孩子看看倒还不错 效果顶尖 没得挑
异形抱脸虫变成了小黄黄入侵，大鲇鱼对决大螃蟹，历史只是统治阶级的虚构；场面设计还行，故事白左得比较一般，Greta Thunberg 式小女主人设也缺了些亮点
一个成熟的动漫工业出产的合格的动漫电影，但是看了开头就明白结局，推荐爆米花&合家欢
属于网大电影水平。这个没有内容啊。更不要说有什么表达了。故事过于简单，没有让人起波澜的地方。视觉效果普通。实属解说佳作。
塑造世界观时元素很多，又是怪兽小岛，又是黑魔法女巫，但基本都当工具人用，没有很融入电影大节奏的感觉。黑人小女孩逆转老白人男的偏见，王室捏造历史霸权，人与自然和谐共存，基本上好莱坞能叠的buff是叠明白了。
7分。对这种加勒比风帆战舰的时代完全没有抵抗力呢~~~前半段完全是白鲸的故事设计，各种战斗设计还有画面效果都非常得我心，和披甲兽那段真得大赞~~但后半段是什么鬼？？一个从小长大的猎人，一个孤儿院跑出来的小孩，唯一的共同点就是父母都被海兽干掉了，最后竟然这么默契地就和解了？女孩子一通嘴炮直接把全国的人说动了？？我就好奇最后那将军知道自己在帝王号上的兄弟是被焰魔干掉的，会不会后悔没开炮。。。整个电影作为儿童片看看还是可以的，但太过宏大的主题就这么被无视还是有点可惜啊。
可能因为先看了豆瓣点评再去看的，所以感觉比7分是要高的，完成度不错，故事情节再最后的小女孩演讲前其实也算饱满，就是最后面想不到怎么收场又用一场演讲来结束剧情的确有点审美疲劳了。
主旋律+政治正确+不太尴尬的笑点+萌物混入=合格爆米花
不过太过于政治正确了 政治正确不是不行 但不能为了政治正确而导致剧情不合理 或者故意低幼剧情 我不相信一个小女孩在远距离没有麦克风的演讲可以改变整个国家的政治 否则人类也不可能有这几千年封建制度了
