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.

潮汕奶奶辈的女人有些是真的很厉害，我实在有感而发，我奶奶当之无愧。初一十五，各种节都要拜老爷祭祀，一年到头来钱纸都要买不少，按我奶奶的话，我们生在这里不拜不过心（安心），因为我妈这个外地媳妇，我奶奶绝对一手操办，是真的很厉害。
谢苗的武戏很好看，清爽，精准；三星都是给谢苗的。 剧情基本上属于有没有差别不大，其他演员是不是都没给人家工钱啊！片尾为什么打上一行“事了拂衣去”，我用你告诉我啊，我自己不会体会啊！画蛇添足学过吧！
故事真的简单到简陋，喝尔一壶酒，一辈积蓄送你走
童星出生的谢苗，演技和武打功底都非常扎实。以盲侠为主角的电影近年来还是比较少见的，我挺喜欢这种给人设做减法的主角，他们的弱项反倒成为影片中的看点。
我得给个5分，2年多了没看过什么中文爽片儿了，这武打和快意恩仇，我必须给5星，琴娘真美、主角动作戏满分，关键是诚意
武不错，有浪客剑心的味道，更难得拍出了久违的侠义精神。
魏君子制片，杨秉佳编导，能看到座头市、椿三十郎等日式剑戟题材的影子，也融入了邵氏江湖义气、侠骨柔情的内核。总体来讲，故事完成度可以，但主配角的塑形如成瞎子拔刀似地快如闪电，并未有过目难忘的场景。
四星，多一星鼓励
看完很想去见见我妈，她也一直想坐次飞机！这应该是这两年我最喜欢的一部电影，稚嫩但可爱，充满温情，真心换真心，我为你学潮汕话，你也会为我学普通话，习俗观念在爱面前都不算什么！
独刀江湖，为公除恶。小成本武侠网大，故事简单直接，动作出彩有侠气，结尾光影设计呈现出的意境还别有风格。
潮汕人看了应该会很有感触 说的话也是潮汕人最最亲切的 虽然是脏话
就算还可以。虽然剧情一般还多少有点硬扯，但灯光和质感还是喜欢的
目中无人，心有公道。目中无人者，瞎；心有公道者，侠。网大瞎侠，小成本精品武侠，动作和台词都挺干脆，不差。
浪费了这么好的题材，卢靖姗的身上有很多可以被挖掘的细节都没有展现，更多的镜头给了潮汕地区的风土人情，而没有和剧情更紧密的联系，妈妈这个角色是不错，但也只是前半段比较好，后面有点塌下去，导演再加油吧。
一眼丁真，鉴定为：平庸及格。
冲突都是因为爱，然后又都回到了爱，有点李安早年的感觉了。Back to love，在很多时候妈妈就是Love的意思吧。
算是个潮汕电影 有点魁北克电影的味道。现代化深圳和非常传统的潮汕碰撞。有笑有泪的。时代走得好快。
国内网大市场里，确实是一部质量尚佳的武侠片。风格化的角色设置，清晰的爱恨情仇故事线，以及有真功夫底子的谢苗，都让片子在网大范畴里可观赏性提升不少。
武侠感很够，动作虽然还是有些慢动作的无聊，但整体还是流畅犀利的，场景有几处很美，谢苗惊喜了，4星支持一下吧。
