The life of King Arthur, a strong king and a good warrior, who achieves many success, as he achieved stability and expands his land, the thing that makes him popular among people, has been changed completely when he decides to marry the beautiful Guinevere, as he shocked by revealing a conspiracy held against him.
While director Jerry Zucker seems to have been intent on dragging the film to the mushy middle, it's still more entertaining than most comparable Middle Ages-set movies.

Aside from casting Richard Gere as Lancelot, First Knight marches out as an agreeably intelligent, mature and well-mounted telling of the legendary King Arthur story.

The out-of-place [Richard] Gere doesn't do justice to the fine performance of [Julia] Ormond.
...lots of action and chivalrous pomp, but no magic.

Director Zucker is unsuccessful in trying to put a fresh angle on the familiar story, and he is not much helped by his romantic leads, Richard Gere and Julia Ormond.
Bland and over-romanticized treatment of the Arthurian legend. Gere ridiculously miscast as Lancelot. Watch Boorman's EXCALIBUR instead.

Goes for a pass as a shallow but occasionally rousing swordfighting flick with a handful of thoughtful scenes...has something those other pictures don't have: Sean Connery as King Arthur.

Whenever Zucker stops piling on battle scenes as if he were directing Braveheart, his film casts a romantic spell.
