Solomon & Sheba

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.

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.

Like the other reviews, this was a very beautiful historical movie of The Queen of Sheba that was shown on Showtime and starring Halle Berry and Jimmy Smit. It seems that when anyone wants to buy it, no one knows why it was never release or for sale. I hope someone can finally answered the question, WHY? I would love to have a copy because it told a story that mark different places in the Bible. The storyline in the beginning was a little rush, but overall the movie was very good and inspirational. I do hope that with the people interested in this movie will encourage the writers, producers, stars, or whomever to consider to a make DVD of this movie. Thank you very much.

I agree with the others that I remember when this movie aired on TV and and have been wanting to buy it for quite some time. I think it was a great film and told a great account of our ancient history. I am always wanting to learn as much as I can about Africa and the biblical era. I haven't been able to find this movie anywhere, and would love to have it for my Bible collection of movies. Halle Berry is a great actress and I can't believe this movie isn't more available. I've even looked in my public library and was not able to find a copy. Based on most of the reviews on this board, it looks as though there would be plenty of consumers that would like to buy this film.

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!
