I was one of those who also plan that Connery and Gere were TOO Primitive to play their respective parts of Arthur and Lancelot in this film. Then I viewed the film. All thoughts of miscasting went out of my head, as I unprejudiced kicked backed and enjoyed this highly spellbinding and fascinating anecdote. The three major stars in this film, including Julia Ormond(”Sabrina”), as Guinevere, had a astounding on cloak chemistry with each other, the scenery was lovely, the costumes scrumptious, the romance inspiring, the battle scenes heartpumping, and the music(Jerry Goldsmith) haunting and thrilling.
Young Lady Guinevere is about to be married to the astounding King Arthur and she will occupy her unusual dwelling as Queen in the attractive land of Camelot. It’s a time of happiness for all. But there’s danger amiss, fair as the Knights of the Round Table are pledging their undying loyalty to the unusual Queen, Malagant, an ex Knight who wants to rule the land, is spreading awe and destruction, and is about to envoke his wrath on the people and the home of Guinevere, her beloved Leonesse. Enter Lancelot, newest member of the Round table(having already saved Lady G twice) to the rescue, who will now lead the Knights in battle against the harmful Malagant.And then there’s the battle for the glowing lady herself….

The performances were touching, as Guinevere and Lancelot make a deep worship for each other, but like their King as well. Ben Rank(”Chariots of Fire”), is simply sinister as Malagant and the noted Sir John Gielgud adds his extraordinary talents as well.
The DVD presents a beautifully certain report, with rich colors. It may be viewed in widescreen or stout cover.The sounds of the era and the music are reliable. You have the choice of DD5.1 or stereo. Languages include English, Spanish and French with subtitles in Spanish and Korean, but there are no subtitles or captions in English for those who may need them(what’s up with that? )
If you’re looking for something that stays truer to the classic fable, go with “Excalibur”, It’s a breathtaking and artfully directed film. However, “Excalibur” may not be generous for everyone. The violence is quite a bit more graphic then “First Knight” and there are sexual scenes as well. This one may be better edifying for teens, but may be enjoyed for the pure entertainment value as well.
Get the popcorn ready and appreciate….Laurie

A Bridge Too Far
I am 15 years worn, and I impartial cherish this movie. “First Knight” ranks up on the list with the musical “Camelot” and Disney’s “The Sword and the Stone” as a pretty telling of the Camelot memoir, and may in fact surpass these other two movies in excellance. Creative license was taken so that the “correct” sage is not portrayed, but the charcters discontinue upright to the memoir and the affect is nothing short of fantastic. Lady Guinevere of Leonesse (sic? ) is on her contrivance to marry King Arthur of Camelot when she inadvertantly meets Lancelot, a very cocky mersonary whose arrogant ways shroud a sad childhood. Although attempting to stop actual to her King, Guinevere is twice saved by Lancelot (although she did a ample deal of the work to dash herself) and finds herself falling in esteem with him. To complicate the scrape, the corrupt Prince Malagant is distinct to bewitch over both Leonesse and Camelot. Tension builds to a magnificent climax, a plain ending, and a delicate conclusion. —– This movie is filled with both heart-pounding action cues of suspense and heart-rending conversations of trusty people. Richard Gere portrays Lancelot beautifully, giving him a self-assured pride and arrogance that later teach to be merely a cover-up to the wound he experienced as a child. Although I have heard complaints that Gere is too American for the allotment, he added a dimension to Lancelot’s personality that few others could top. There is a chiling reason for his cockiness, and it makes him seem more human. Julia Ormond gives Guinevere beauty, but also independance. She is quite able to handle herself, and is one of the few “damsels-in-distress” that haven’t gotten on my nerves by their helplessness. Because this Guinevere is anything but helpless! Guinevere is torn apart by her like for two men, and Ormond portrays it excellently, allowing you to stare into Guinevere’s soul and obtain the wound she is going through. Ben Faulty as the poor Malagant is perfect. He is execrable, cruel, selfish, and disgusting; the perfect villian! Not every actor/actress can play a villian so well. Vast job! And what can I say about Sean Connery as King Arthur? This was the first movie I saw him in after I saw the film “DragonHeart”, in which Connery played the sing of the dragon. Perfectly cast in that movie, perfectly cast in this, Connery gives King Arthur boundless dignity, wisdom, and heart, but he also gives him a human side; vulnerable and not always quite positive what to do next. This is probably the most realistic portrayal of Arthur, and you can’t wait on but have your heart go out to him. —– The music, the diolodge, and the fabulous acting earn “First Knight” such a gigantic movie. For anyone who loves the Arthurian Story, or simply a fable of regular people with lots of heart, behold this movie. As the song goes, “It will not be forgot that once there was a site for once brief, knowing moment that was known as Camelot!”
