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.
本来主线明晰，但很多人物和情节处理上好拖沓。
如果觉得故事单薄，就去看第一部。如果觉得人物不丰满，就去看第一部。如果觉得动机模糊，就去看第一部。作为续集真的是完美的答卷（排除所有的静止镜头）。谁说我们没有英雄主义，我们每一个人都是历史的答案。
只有为自由而前赴后继人们，才让现在的人们享受和平年代，向英雄们致敬。
节奏很好，年纪大了爱看战争片了
相对于第一部优秀很多，毕竟第一部是塑造人物形象，让角色立体化。这就给第二部起了很大的加成作用。
三炸水门桥，后来还是让美军逃跑了，好可惜！看着让人心疼。
有几处确实有戳到泪点，战争片必然的。
比第一部好看，节奏明快，有镜头设计，有宏大叙事，也有泪点，似曾相识的规格感。
如果不较真思考……boomboomboom效果蛮好的
特效和制作可以 除了四字弟弟全员be很感人 但缺少故事线
很惨烈的牺牲，历史的车轮就是这样推动起来。但是剪和拍的大概快一个小时才引起我的兴趣。
战争是残酷的，有些地方还可以！但是还是有两点我觉得没有改善，1人物2节奏感！人物上来说还是不够饱满，尤其是伍万里，我个人感觉他在第一部的冲动还可以说是初生牛犊不怕虎的话，那么第二部里的冲动表现就让我对这个人物没有一丝好感，还有就是对美军的刻画还是呆板不够立体！节奏感是现在国产电影急需改进的地方，这电影某些时刻让我觉得好多余，比如抱着五千里的尸体时美军突然的停手不接着烧啦，还有比如一群美军围住啦伍千里突然停手啦？坐看伍千里炸桥吗？实在觉得在故事上需要更多打磨，千万不要只是为了让人感动而强行煽情，水到渠成的自然才能使得故事更有回味，比如像拯救大兵瑞恩
大场景大制作，不过相对于第一部来说，好像感人片段少了一点。 感觉狙击手更好看一些诶，可能因为人员少一些，描述也会更仔细一些。
打戏太多了，全都是战争场面，而且感觉每个人的死都是为了死而去死，有点缺乏文戏，伍万里的成长体现的不是太充分
除了最后的“实到一人”让我有点感动外，整部戏冗长无聊。
战斗中终于有了点战术的影子，伍千里牺牲时配乐的钢琴曲和片尾孙楠的歌太破坏情境了。
6.5分。如果把开头30分钟去掉就更好了
我看过的书面材料说柱子炸飞后，桥主体从天而降并搭建，没有达到想象中的震撼
看完后：“第七穿插连应到一百五十七人，实到一人。”满脑子的评论，最后就只记得了千玺看到大部队向他们敬礼时，无言滑下的那一滴泪。
跟第一部一样精彩，全程没有尿点，战争场面拍的很好。
