First Knight Reviews
First Knight Is First Class
A very pleasing all-around movie is how I found this Knights Of The Roundtable-type story and a good one for DVD, even one that's been on disc for quite some time. For an early DVD, this was a real treat for the ears with some great rear- speaker sound. The story, however, not the sound, was the main appeal of this film for me.
The three main stars in this movie were very appealing: Richard Gere as the cocky-but-good guy Sir Lancelot; Julia Ormond as Guinevere and Sean Connery, aptly cast as King Arthur. He certainly looks and acts the part, as does Ben Cross as the villain, Prince Malagant.
This is a straight adventure story, too, with none of the hocus-pocus sorcery baloney who often see in these King Arthur stories. This is beautifully filmed with a city of Camelot that is awesome to view. Nice values in here, too, with - gasp - the importance of prayer mentioned. No wonder so many reviewers out there hated this message.
This is simply a classy, great adventure and highly recommend to literally everyone who values a nice story that has values.
Gorgeous film of love, maturity, betrayal and forgiveness
This well-acted and told story features Richard Gere as the handsome, adventuresome loner, Lancelot; Julia Ormond as strong, principled Guineviere; and Sean Connery as noble King Arthur. Ben Cross perfectly portrays the self-righteously arrogant, destructive villain, Malagant. The settings move between the forests of Great Britain and the exquisite golden and slate blue castle of Camelot. The brilliantly written script contains various references to Christianity. The plot vividly portrays the struggle between forces of violent, oppressive domination and the defense of the innocent, which entails self-sacrifice. This story is my favorite. I've enjoyed it each time, and gain new insights with each viewing. If you enjoy romantic, historical adventures, you will surely savor this outstanding film
