Review First Knight

First Knight Best Review

I was very pleased to see how much Christian culture was included in this film: Arthur (Sean Connery) prayed frequently, particularly in his period of loss when Gwen had been kidnapped, and there was the frequent prayerfulness even at the round table. There was the presence of respectable clergy, there were small churches and a great cathedral with a wonderful crucifix of Our Lord and other sacred statuary (The chapels were typically burned by the anti-christian elements though obviously not with the contempt of the story-writer, contempt so often in the heart of certain iconoclast, so called "artists" of our time). It stands as a Christian alternative, indeed, an "answer" to that anti-Christian work, The Mists of Avalon, which - though a well done production starring the lovely Julianna Margulies - in the end distorts or paganizes the Catholic devotion to Mary, and the novel itself serves an anti-Christian, sacrilege-the-sacred and life itself agenda. I know, TMOA was produced after FK, but the latter still stands out as a film "redeeming" Arthurian lore and Gwenivere as well. The battles had to be bloody to be genuine and the Bible is full of that, and so First Knight was First Class, edifying, even educational, entertainment!

First Knight Specifications

1995 had already seen the box-office success of sword-wielding heroes in Rob Roy and Braveheart when along came this glossy revision of the Arthurian legend, in which Lady Guinevere (Julia Ormond) is torn between her love for the noble King Arthur (Sean Connery) and the passionate knight Sir Lancelot (Richard Gere). As the story opens, Guinevere's lands are under attack by the evil knight Malagant (Ben Cross), and she must choose between marriage to Arthur and the security of Camelot, or encouraging the affections of Lancelot, who has heroically rescued her from a potentially lethal attack. Anyone looking for meticulous medieval authenticity won't find it here, but director Jerry Zucker (Ghost) keeps the action moving with exuberant spirit and glorious production values. Even if you don't completely believe Richard Gere as a somewhat too-contemporary Lancelot, the performances of Ormond and especially Connery are effortlessly appealing. --Jeff Shannon

Very exciting and tense. - JOJO DANCER -
First off, I am no fan of Richard Gere. But, all of the actors performed great. Great plot, costumes, suspense and surprises make this a great movie. Sean Connery is at his very best.



First Knight - a Movie for my daughter - Patricia A. McGrath -
I purchased this movie for my handicapped daughter. She loves Richard Gere and has already watched this movie twice since she got it about 3 weeks ago. This movie is a slightly different version of the story of Arthur, Lancelot and Guinevere. It has a lot of action scenes and a satisfying love story.



first knight - TB -
over all the dvd is good, would like to see more detail the product, example scratches, etc.



Richard Gere reprises his role in Breathless but in costume... - Jay Marriott -
still with the American accent! The bad guys, especially in the "black castle" rescue scenes, make one think of a sci-fi/ darthvader rehash. Too bad, because Sean Connery and Julia Ormond have a believable chemistry and they keep soldiering on,in spite of the script. They almost pull the film off.

In the end, the movie is so uneven that all the references to Camelot, Roundtable and Excaliber just made me think of other, better films on the subject. I suggest The Mists of Avalon, or Excaliber (with a young Helen Miren doing quite unlikely stuff, beautifully!) Both movies are more respectful of your imagination and intelligence than is First Knight.
