The Kingdom of Solomon (2010)

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Good movie but grossly overrated

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

a Muslim story. and an universal message. Antisemitic references. and good intentions. visual effects who reminds many Asian films. and an impressive effort of entire artistic team. short, a film who could be defined in many ways. waste of time, artificial, ambitious, childish, great or impressive. but who has the virtue to present a story who lives in the faith of Muslims, Jews and Christians. the high price of piece. the challenge of battle against personal demons. the image of wise leader, strong and humble who represents the ideal of every society. Shahriar Bahrani does a decent work and this is the only important fact. it is important not only for the great effort to make the film but for ambition to give a special story. because Molke Soleiman is a testimony of faith. not a story because it seems be a sketch. but as first part of a series, the hope of viewer remains at optimistic level. not copy of Hollywood blockbuster for the simple detail than the purpose is profound different. not as part of chain of the Iranian cinematography masterpieces because the acting, script, image and dialogues are far by it. for an European, Orthodox Christian, like me, it is a definition of Islam in middle of too many controversies. it is the best manner to send a message about essence of faith. like a spiritual wake up.sure, the source is The Quran but this fact has not a challenge for a Christian public. or, maybe, for the Jew public. because the message is the only significant in the case of this poor film. not coherent, too poetic, not real convincing. but useful. and that is the basic motif to see it.

First - Amin does a brilliant acting job at Sulaiman, not only as a strong and powerful king when he needs to be, but as a grounded and humble prophet too! Also - The film crew did a brilliant job of showing how the son of the Prophet Dawud would rule, it gives you a glimpse of Sulaiman would have actually ruled in his time. Education- The film does a brilliant job in giving us an insight into what Sulaiman did and how as it is quite hard to research into this particular character compared to others such as Jesus (PBUH) or Muhammad (PBUH). Film - The film does a brilliant job in entertainment, it has neither too much or too little action and neither too much or too little dragging bits. (and no cheesy scenes! :) ) I HIGHLY recommend you watch this and the 2 following films that, INSHALLAH!, will come out.

The Kingdom of Solomon is simulation and imitation of some Hollywood movies . You can't see anything interesting in this movie , and it's like a reminder of some movies and TV series . If you watche this movie you can see the old zombies of 80's and you can see the Lost TV series smoke thing or you can see the 80's spaceships in the case of a ship with an average visual effect for all effects .The other issue is this that the story is not completely defined , the characters are not completely introduced to viewer ;for example even you will recognize the Solomon's wife when she is going to die ... and so on .The viewers in cinema laughed to drama and visual effects that was in this movie , the film is full of horse riding that makes the viewer tired , and , and , and , and ... So at last I recommend to you to not to watch this movie . It's wasting time , It has nothing , Not story , not any interesting visual effects and in fact it's a repetitive movie with a lower level that you ever seen before . The 5 million dollars wasted for nothing .Thank you. Best Regards.

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful,I must say that its a great movie.. i know. its a very tough job for all the actors to perform on the subject as we all know its based on a true story of the PROPHET SOLOMAN A.S. KingdomThe part i really love is when the LIGHT OF IILA comes from the sky and deliver the ring to SOLOMAN A.S. for controlling Jinn and Satan's.. & whenever SOLOMAN A.S. ask help from GOD.. A thing that i want to notify that the movie is bit short.. it has to be around 3 to 4 hours long, so the director can add many thing's in it.. i really love the acting of all actors but specially the main leading actor's part ( Amin Zendegani ). a message to the director and writer of this movie.. Respected Mr. Shahriar Bahrani hope you will continue making great movies in future.. Regards
