One of the Best examples of an alternative-interpretation of classic Arthurian Legend films ever made...with spectacular scenes of mythic lore to satisfy even the most imagination-challenged viewers...Strong cast led by Sean Connery in a role he was born to play with swept-off-your-feet supporting roles from Richard Gere as lusty Lancelot and Julia Ormond as glorious Guinevere re-defining one of history's greatest love triangles whilst allowing Bravery, Honor and Sacrifice to overcome their natural instincts summed up in a provocative and literate exchange about the essence of Love; "Your Heart chooses him," says a jealous Arthur, "but My Will chooses you", whereupon Guinevere responds, "and that is the Best of Me."...Memorable screenwriting including King Arthur's bittersweet "I take the Good with the Bad, I can't Love people in slices"...Fantastic action, evocative emotion and spellbinding story all combine to entertain both fine minds and soaring spirits regally for a Perfect Night...Read full review

A rebel knight from King Arthur's round table seeks to expand his empire by force, and terrorises the subjects of Guinevere, who has received an offer of marriage from Arthur. On the way to visit Arthur she has a chance meeing with the free-spirited and bohemian Lancelot, to whom she finds herself attracted. This movie is an adaptation of the myth of Arthur, and is interesting. The performances by Connery, Ormond and Gere are very good. First Knight is a great movie, and one you should not miss. It's a simple story that doesn't require a lot of analysis or understanding of the story and mythology to enjoy.
I was this movie 15 times when it came out... I was only 10 years old. I love medieval weapons because there is skill involved, unlike today anyone can use a handgun effectively without skill. The strategies used in this movie are very clever it's like a real life chess game. I do wish that someday someone will make a remake of this movie with a billion dollar budget to appeal better for the next generation of audience. Anyway if you do choose to watch it you should also get Highlander another great movie a must watch.
Great Cast Members in this Adventurous Movie with Love and Trust and Regrettable Hate.
