    It is a very romantic movie

    It is a very romantic movie, great performances by Jimmy Smits and Halle Berry. I was its translator to Spanish for Latin America. It was an awesome movie, specially the end has two of the most romantic paragraphs I have ever seen. I am an action movie guy, But the last two paragraphs will melt any woman's heart.

    Beautiful

    I loved this movie and could not wait to hear and see one of the tales of Solomon and Sheba. I was just a kid when I saw this movie, and I was so entranced I looked both Solomon and Sheba up on the computer. I believe Showtime made the movie, they did a beautiful job on the scenery and authenticity of the clothes. I loved that they used Halle Berry, showing people that the Queen of Sheba was of African origin. Not a Caucasian like they use for Cleopatra and truly getting it wrong. Anyonewho says that this movie is bad is full of it. The acting was great and told of two monarchs who fell in love, but knew the reality of the situation. There story has been told for lifetimes and this movie did a good job of depicting this. Two thumbs up for me.

    Solomon & Sheba has few lines on the bible, nothing as appears in this new version!!!

    Just to make a collating I've been planning to watch both version of Solomon and Sheba available in my collection trying to see which them were more faithful with holy book, this newest version made for TV has a different story from all sources, the plot driven force to a gold's mine lost in the desert, Sheba trying to takes trustworthiness from Solomon letting to him all lost gold, the upcoming events as treachery came from own political advisor called Jeroboan, actually the King Solomon as know as a wised man, but by force of destiny didn't realize such betrayal, also another inaccurate thing, so Solomon offers to divide the country with Jeroboan to end up the death sentence against Sheba, too many discrepancies lead to failure this cheaper and poor production!!!

    Resume:

    First watch: 2019 / How many: 1 / Source: DVD / Rating: 5.5

    Best Solomon movie

    As a Bible movie aficionado, I think this is the best Solomon movie there is.

    In this fictional adventure story with a Biblical setting, King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba go looking for the lost gold mines of Ophir. This is a character-driven movie. It portrays the wise and intriguing character of Solomon more believably than any other movie, including more Biblically literal ones. Halle Berry does a predictably fantastic job as the Queen of Sheba. Together, the two of them are likable, clever, and smoking hot.

    This is a low-budget TV movie, which means no epic battles, grand processions, or even fancy costumes. It drags a bit in spots. That said: the plot is clever, the characters are likable, and the ending is satisfying. It is thoroughly enjoyable!

    Shame it's still so hard to find!

    Really moving

    OK so movie isn't as complex as it should be, but it's a TV series after all, so the best part about it is that the actors are very good, the scenery and the landscape also beautiful, and it is truly a beautiful, romantic movie, opposed to today's much more worse productions.The subject is very interesting, and I have to repeat, I loved the connection between the two main characters, they are just so beautiful together.The movie is relaxing and intriguing so, my opinion, go watch it!Oldie but goldie :)) PS: I also recommend it for those who like movies that are well written, very good acting and passioned about Ancient History.After the movie, I surfed the net to find out more info's on Solomon and I have to say I've found pretty interesting things.
