If you love or want to know or see a bible story in a movie, I highly recommend this movie. Solomon the son of King David, starts with his brother trying to get the throne, but of cause as God said Solomon will be the next king, Solomon gets the throne. The story goes right through to his death. Shows his strong love and relationship with the Queen of Sheba and how that God and the people get angry with him when he starts to worships other Gods. Commandment no. 1. You shall have no other gods before me. 2. You shall not make for yourself an idol. Well made movie, great actors.

I thought Ben Cross did an excellent portrayal of Solomon and the screen writers did not flinch from portraying Solomon's spiritual failures. The movie was a bit long as there was a lot of screen time devoted to the grandeur of his kingdom as well as his womanizing. Ah well, what producer could resist that temptation?

This was a very geniune and sincere portrait of human tendencies and propenseties. The bible clearly states that this (Old testament) things where writing for our own abmonition. The word abmonition means a soft and gentle but still reprove.This story conveys the great potential that man has, to do both good and bad and this is what we fear most is our own greatness and darkness, this was conveyed to a "T" which is to suiT and fiT(please don't misconstrued,I dont want top stir the masses of the religious and i'm not trying to make light of sin).I've have seen many of this wonderful Bible Collection from this Turner production and have been well pleased with their Biblical accounts and sense of direction along with production but this one is as sincere and genuine as it gets with conveying the great capabilites and calamities of humanity. Also it depicted well how the pleasures of sin are but for a season which is but for a window of time and once crossing that threshold that pleasure turns sour on us. It's also our own nature tendecy to question the things of life and although Solomon did draw up some of the most pessimistc and negative conclusions (which is to lean to our own human reasoning) he then close the books of Ecclesiastes with "The whole duty of man is to fear the Lord and keep his commandmnets for this is the whole duty of man" AMEN.

This is a very low budget and poorly done movie. My husband and I were so disappointed with it that we threw the movie away after watching it. They took too many liberties with the story-line. I hope Solomon wasn't like that!

I throughly enjoyed this Biblical version of times and life of King Solomon. Very easy to watch,

had my full attention the whole time! Definitely worth it!

I know they don't make movies to follow everything in the Bible, but what disturbed me is when Solomon was asking children what the 4th commandment was, and they answered quoting the Fifth, or maybe I heard wrong, replayed it and heard same thing. Exodus 20: tell us what the Fourth commandment is. Movie script writers need to research more before making movies. Otherwise it was ok.

Here was a beautiful opportunity missed. Somebody really needed to read their Bible. It's not ok to dramatize and add to the Bible like other literary works.

I was very disappointed and would have returned this video if I could have after watching it.

Story went almong according to the Bible. I would recommend this DVD to any family. We enjoyed this DVD and will share it with friends and family.

Excellent movie. Viewing these Bible story movies has made many things clear to me. Reading from the Bible left many messages unanswered. After watching these movies, much has been made clear to me. Being raised in this era, makes terminology from the Bible,not able for me to understand.

While watching these movies, it is as if I am going back in time. I have watched the Bible stories with great interest. I watched every bit finally seeing what is being spoken of in the Bible.

The movie Solomon showed up on time and in like new condition!! It is a good movie although I think they spent too much time on Queen Sheba(I wanted to see more of his supposedly 700 wives). I will definitely keep Solomon in my collection of bible movies.
