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.
提两个瑕疵
说实在的 一开始看剧情梗概和预告，预期放的还是挺低的，剧情走势无非是俗套的那一套呗，平凡少年通过自身努力改变了什么。但实际上，是 又 不是。好好讲故事，真好。五星给配乐给剧情给镜头。给狮头。给那一颗扬起的水珠。
05年，城中村，农民工，留守儿童，这些是能够直接决定作品高低的现实涉指，却被各种粗劣的戏仿和廉价的煽情冲散，居然出现了“有备而来”、“大意了没有闪”这种烂梗，毫无质感，尬吹这部动画的友邻们辜负了人和人之间的信任啊，居然说什么新高峰，高水准，对不起，烂透了！
文本和音乐跳脱出商业用法，告五人、九连真人深度服务于剧情的方言歌词自带地区文化色彩；从广播里的少年强则国强，到挨打后听到的红日初升其道大光，最后内化成腾跃时的雄狮腾渊鳞爪飞扬。
感觉主创应该会很想让周星驰师父看看。看的粤语版，开场那段介绍旁白十分醒神。技术超凡得简直让我怀疑这是动画吗这不是真人(狮) 电影吗。有些画面真的，根本看不出是动画。喜欢木棉甸甸掉落时感受到银幕内空气湿度的重量仿佛都蒸腾弥漫在影厅里。中途发现竟没带纸巾只得去影院厕所拿纸巾，结尾真的雄狮出现时，我暴哭成傻逼，也说不太清为何。
有好几处台词过于书面化了 现实中没有人这么讲话 少女阿娟的背景最好补充一下 结尾那个咸鱼脚太恶俗了 和整体格调不搭 但是国漫能有一部现实题材的电影还是很难得的 最后一跃的超现实化处理把我感动到了 让人想到末路狂花的最后一跃 所以加一星（电影院里居然没人get到“我大意了 没有闪”
2.4星，配乐和片尾曲非常好，但是剧情真的非常套路无聊，虽然后期好一点点了但仍然是我那个每一步都能猜到并且毫不意外的发展。如果能用做画面的用心程度设计剧情就好了。
今年的年度最佳影片，从第二幕离开小镇开始的后半段甚至可以是“国漫崛起”以来的最佳。留守少年的成长，在梦想和现实之间挣扎，最终又回归现实，这才是真正的成长，世界上最大的奇迹就是自己的不放弃。
电影的英文名是《I am what I am》，进取与激励贯穿全篇，人活着得有精气神，不论是正在崛起还是逐渐没落的事物，要去相信，相信努力的价值，只要心中的鼓点不会断，我们都可以做一头雄狮。
瑕不掩瑜，看就得了。虽然说可能我年纪大了，看到小孩子拼了命追求自己理想的那种劲儿劲儿，甚至有点害怕。
身在客乡独思亲，不在山东在广东，扫地僧出场不多，没有闲笔，半梦半醒半疯癫，深藏功与名，高手在民间。
没在故纸堆里挖童话，人物造型不再模仿日美漫画。
中国动画真是不断给人惊喜，个人觉得比哪吒好很多，希望票房也不差
带着三星的心入场，五星的心出场。高于预期太多！
现在看表现少年练习的地方过多了 可以插入多一点舞狮知识介绍
有所期待，略显失望：昨晚看到朋友推荐，来豆瓣未细看内容地浏览下短评，发现好评颇多，其中现实生活中认识的豆瓣网友都是标记四五星，让我不禁期待是又一部《哪吒之魔童降世》，不过穿插其中的些许中差评又让我担心出现像《西游记之大圣归来》那样因高期待而高失望的情况，结果今天下午兴致勃勃去电影院看完点映场，个人观感只是又一部《姜子牙》。★★★☆ 1.三维动画技术方面，环境背景花草树木物件光线等做得挺不错，也看到口型对应台词的努力，但人物形象设计就比较不满意了；2.故事情节编排感觉一般，舞狮比赛中用脚气熏人、中途换人的方式有些胜之不武；3.开头→五条人《道山靓仔》是惊喜，中间→椅子乐团《Rollin' On》有泪点（但不是被电影煽情，而是被歌曲本身催泪），末尾→九连真人《莫欺少年穷》有燃点（观影前已知道有使用这首歌）；……
徜徉于上世纪末的东西方文化洋流里，
3⃣️浓浓的广东味儿我太爱了呜呜呜，每一首配乐也都非常绝，不是那种工业流水线做出来的曲子。
阿娟进城后的第三幕，极好，结尾狮子下山，佛光普照，在一个能看见东方明珠的宿舍里，继续打工生涯，爽利，有毫不拖泥带水的信念感，像《八英里》里battle胜利的Rabbit
最终决定给5分，既有新意又有立意，兼具现实主义的细致描摹和浪漫主义的唯美和燃。故事将舞狮的传统文化底蕴和所代表的民族精气神，与社会边缘群体（留守少年）的抗争与成长完美，有机地结合在一起。画面运镜质感一流，动作场面遒劲有力，配乐应景到位。虽然故事节奏发展有点过快且生硬，且感情线的埋伏似乎没有必要，但总体上瑕不掩瑜。
