Top CriticWhenever Zucker stops piling on battle scenes as if he were directing Braveheart, his film casts a romantic spell.
05/12/01
Top CriticThe problem for him[Gere], and the film, comes when the non-physical acting begins.
02/13/01
Top CriticAside 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.

Top Critic...a handsome, entertaining twist on the King Arthur legend...
01/01/00
Top CriticThere's swordplay to the hilt, but the story itself never quite gets in Gere.
01/01/00
Top CriticBad acting, dumb dialogue, and confusing cinematography abound, creating one of the most shoddy Camelot stories to date.
01/01/00
Top Critic[E]very era has the right--maybe even the duty--to reinvent the Arthurian legend according to its lights, and so there is something instructive and entertaining about this version.
01/01/00
Top CriticPillaged of such mainstays as Merlin and Morgan le Fay—as well as magic, majesty and depth—'Camelot' has become 'Camelite.'
01/01/00
Top CriticThe movie is entertaining enough in its own way, and Sean Connery makes a splendid King Arthur, but compared with the earlier films[Rob Roy and Braveheart] this one seems thin and unconvincing.
