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.
剧情挺拉，开篇中文演唱的bang bang着实惊喜一把，中国新年十二生肖少林功夫啥的还是老外看中国那一套，回到家就能想起小黄人开飞机，其他的几乎都忘了，有点无聊
✧*。٩(ˊωˋ*)و✧*。
还是挺好笑的，一群对 Gru 忠心耿耿的小家伙们
果然最好看的都放在预告片了 但是也丝毫不影响看剧体验毕竟小黄人那么可爱！！可惜看不到粤语配音版 不少中国元素 十二生肖 开头跟张家界差不多的景色 功夫 针灸 农历新年 片头也是中文歌 真的不理解为什么不能上映…
电影业最近实在是有些萧条，想去影院看一部及格水平的电影都快成奢望了。
挺好的，最难的是在如此意识形态冲突的年代，还能有一部中华文化正面宣传的主流电影。
中国元素就是打个酱油，换成泰拳跆拳道都不冲突，后半段太拉了，小黄人突然就爆发了，chinese new year好评
挺好玩的，小黄人真的好可爱，里面的中国元素挺刻板形象的或者说是固定符号，开头的山貌应该是借鉴了张家界和桂林（存疑），龙的形象虽然是中国龙的样子，但内核更偏向于西方龙邪恶的特质。总体还是挺放松的，小黄人真的太可爱了（重复）剧情比较的老套，但小黄人实在是太可爱了（第三遍）
也许如今再看小黄人已经没有小时候那种兴奋感了，甚至会觉得有些幼稚。但当他们出现在银幕上时，就仿佛在召唤着我，再做一场童年的梦吧。
minions一出場，戲院裡的孩子們就開始咿咿呀呀地笑，這就足夠了呀。
小黄人太萌了，私以为这才是小黄人最好的一部
这一版太好看了吧！！！全五星！！没有一分钟移开眼睛. awwwwwwwww
三星半。故事比首集完整，但元素整合有些尷尬。
太好看了太好看了！！！！想二刷的程度！！！！！中国元素很多，太喜欢了
是平均每五秒都会被萌到一次的效率，有谁会不喜欢小黄人吗！
可爱！就是可爱！从第一集就开始在想Gru的口音怎么一股意大利味
片头就是中文歌，小黄人学中国功夫，十二生肖大战，中华元素还挺多，此片真的很适合暑期档，快多搞点电影拯救一下院线吧，不然真的就垮了。
可能因為第一部，我對這個系列有neta作的預期，還是期望看到各種懷舊、歷史、文化梗。中華元素近年真留行啊
果然最好看的都放在预告片了 但是也丝毫不影响看剧体验毕竟小黄人那么可爱！！可惜看不到粤语配音版 不少中国元素 十二生肖 开头跟张家界差不多的景色 功夫 针灸 农历新年 片头也是中文歌 真的不理解为什么不能上映…
