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.
维瑟米尔太让人心疼。Gay骆驼小时候居然是光头！！！
导演对猎魔人有点误解吧，猎魔人啥时候这么屌了？阿尔德法印成了龟派气功，伊格尼法印更是堪比火龙吐息，而且从那么高的地方摔下来，都能摔死十多个猎魔人了！
久违的坐高铁看电影经历
屎尿屁番茄酱惊悚喜剧，小细节处亮点颇多。唯一的疑惑是维京人未免太能扛，一度错觉在看僵尸片。
6.0/10。猎魔人史诗级加强，按这个水平老爷子一个人就能屠了狂猎，也没杰洛特啥事了。倒是网飞这种世界观设定都没有摸清楚就拍片的操作，放国内绝对给所谓原著党喷自闭。
原来维瑟米尔老头儿年轻时这么帅的吗，他和伊利亚娜之间的感情真的很浪漫……说实话以为维瑟米尔和那个术士会看在塑料战友情上相互理解一下的，不过想想凯尔莫罕后来啥样好像也不太可能。
故事拍的很有味道，无论是猎魔人还是术士都有好有坏，各自犯了错，也都付出了血的代价。打斗场面异常精彩，最后以手换首真的是决绝的选择。小杰洛特竟然是个光头？真的没想到~~~
传奇的史诗开篇，现有的影视作品应该只是原著世界观的冰山一角，游戏已经是非常不错的全面展示。扛着双银剑的猎魔人是术士炼金实验的产物，物种间充满争夺与仇恨。杰洛特小时候竟然是个超级小光头
#原来我们的杰洛特小时候是一个阔爱的光头，哈哈哈哈

任何婚姻里总有100次想要……算了，实践一次吧
3，“置之死地而后生”，真理诚不欺世人。
有点太美式了…总的感觉上来看，还是真人剧好一些。
〈三星半〉此片有门槛；光看这部不会让人有追这个系列的冲动。美漫画风。
作为维瑟米尔的故事一定程度弥补了剧集动作场面的不足，且作为巫师粉丝向的动画电影已经足够了，很让人满足。
内核有深度且经得起推敲
作为凯尔莫罕之战的缘起，本片的主线故事情节略微单薄。单独一位女术士被塑造成了最终反派，人类群体对于异端的恐惧与愤怒的爆发点，这在情绪上不够剧烈也缺乏逻辑。与巫师三游戏中当女术士群体成为人类讨伐的异端对象时，那种广泛的狂热相比，真是相形见绌。但这不算致命，本片对于维瑟弥尔背景故事的补完，以及对巫师世界后续故事发展的细节暗示，都令我这个游戏忠粉狂喜不已。科德温国王即愚昧肤浅又是不折不扣的自恋狂。尼弗加德民俗彪悍颇为严苛。联想起巫师三故事中国家间的征服与灭亡，不禁令人感叹成败的定数实际上早已在不曾被人想见的过去就已经埋下了。这又与本片的另一主题相呼应，时间。人类，王国，怪兽和自然的命运都历经着沧海桑田残酷的变化，作为一切故事的见证者，精灵，术士和猎魔人们强大的生命力又未尝不是诅咒。
战斗戏漂亮，特别是女术士施法那段儿，姿态的优雅跟力量感都体现得很好。可惜故事太赶了，按这剧情密度，抻到两个半小时观感估计会好很多。
维瑟米尔年轻时比杰洛特强太多了吧……这是狼派？这明明是猫+狮鹫啊！飞天遁地，双剑乱舞，法印连放………
开始小语种已经不想看了，后期秒变B级血腥片加一星
