  'First Knight'
Guinevere is first seen playing soccer with her court, which gives some credence to her later, fitful, flashes of martial ardor.
The film is frequently gorgeous: Arthur and his knights are first glimpsed at night, in a velvety fl-and-blue torchlight parade into the celestial Camelot.
In the traditional version, Lancelot is the greatest knight of all, a French noble who comes to Camelot because he believes in Arthur's dream and who loses his moral compass when he falls in love with Guinevere.

 Player Bio: Matthew Knight :: Men's Basketball
Knight became the 22nd member of the 500-rebound club with five rebounds against Saint Mary's (2-27-06), as he now totals 528 (6.9 rpg) in his career at LMU.
Knight's 20 points on 6-for-11 shooting from the field and a career-best 8-for-8 from the free throw line against Saint Mary's (2-17-05) was his eighth 20-point game of the season.
Knight was slowed by ankle surgery following the World Championships in late July and missed the first six games of the season.

 Filmtracks: First Knight (Jerry Goldsmith)
First Knight: (Jerry Goldsmith) In a return to the pulse-pounding form of The Wind and the Lion and Lionheart, Goldsmith provides a somewhat refined version of the pompous and loquacious form that many of his fans have been seeking from him for many years.
What must not be forgotten, though, is the secondary love theme in First Knight; for me, the pomp and chorus can be thrown out the window, if only some more fuller performances of that theme were to be made available.
First Knight, though, is quite original and a fun score to listen to.

 First Knight
However, First Knight is in the light of the cinematographic developments mentioned earlier a huge disappointment.
The knights of the round table are as colourless as their uniform outfit suggests.
The use of colour is on the other hand very effective in the depiction of the different cities and the development of Guinevere, from innocence, to Queen, to confusion about her feelings for Arthur and Lancelot.

 Julia Ormond: First Knight - Movie
First Knight is a entertaining version of the Arthurian legends, but there are a few detractors.
As I watched First Knight, I couldn't help but think that if this film had been freed of the constraints of the original Arthurian tales, it would have been a complete success.
First Knight, viewed on its own merit, is a highly well constructed, old-fashioned romance adventure with balanced strengths and, again, a beautifully light touch in the emotional and acting departments.

As the story opens, Guinevere's lands are under attack by the evil knight Malagant (Ben Cross), and she must choose between marriage to Arthur and the security of Camelot, or encouraging the affections of Lancelot, who has heroically rescued her from a potentially lethal attack.
But there's trouble amiss, just as the Knights of the Round Table are pledging their undying loyalty to the new Queen, Malagant, an ex Knight who wants to rule the land, is spreading terror and destruction, and is about to envoke his wrath on the people and the home of Guinevere, her beloved Leonesse.
There were three medieval/British Isle films released in 1995 -- "Braveheart," "Rob Roy" and "First Knight." Mel Gibson's "Braveheart" is certainly the most epic of the three, but I found it incredibly overrated; which isn't to say I don't like it, I just don't feel that it's as great as the hype would suggest.

 First Knight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
First Knight is a 1995 film based on Arthurian legend.
The film follows the rogue Lancelot's (played by Richard Gere) romance with Lady Guinevere (played by Julia Ormond) of Leonesse, who is to marry King Arthur (played by Sean Connery) of Camelot.
The majority of armor and weapons used in the film were of such low quality that the majority of the time they appeared to wobble and dent with the slightest of movements by the actors.

 First Knight mistakes, goofs and bloopers
Revealing: In the raid scene where we first meet Malagant, a four-sided wooden tower is shown on fire, and then it collapses from the damage.
Later on when the knight is dead, Lancelot simply bends down and picks up his sword from the ground.
Continuity: When Guinevere is about to meet Arthur for the first time, her hair is down when she's in the carriage and when she steps down to the ground.

 'First Knight'
"First Knight" is nevertheless a pretty film, graced with gorgeous sets and filled with pomp (if not circumstance) by director Jerry Zucker of "Ghost." There's even a real knight in the picture—Sir John Gielgud, playing faithful retainer to Julia Ormond's noble Guinevere.
A fallen knight who's just plumb wacko, Malagant has decided that the Round Table's just for squares and he'll be hangeth if he's going to put up with this chivalry crap anymore.
The film contains battle scenes (they seem almost bloodless after the ferocity of "Braveheart") and glancing references to period politics, but "First Knight" is primarily a love story, and a chaste one at that.

 "First Knight" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
Prince Malagant, Arthur's First Knight, has betrayed him and left to follow his own destiny of power and greed.
Braving the gauntlet to win a kiss from the would-be-queen, Lancelot is praised by Arthur for his bravery (and stupidity) and eventually invited to join the Knights of the Round Table in Malagant's place.
The references to this are mild however, consisting mainly of him telling her that he knows she wants him, and she should "do what you want to do, right here, right now." (she refuses him).

Unfortunately, filmmakers apparently were in such a rush to make the movie, they neglected to read up on the character or his legend.
Although people with the names of Arthur, Guinevere and Lancelot appear in First Knight, this is no Arthurian film.
Fight choreography is competent but somewhat lacking, relying more on camera tricks than actual skill by the actors to project a sense of violence and danger.

It is the misfortune of "First Knight" to open third in the same season that also brought "Rob Roy" and "Braveheart," two better examples of the medieval swordcraft-and-seduction genre.
The movie is entertaining enough in its own way, and Sean Connery makes a splendid King Arthur, but compared with the earlier films this one seems thin and unconvincing.
It's an interesting scene, illustrating how much of a movie is illusion and artistry - and how much the movies depend on it.

 DVDown Under First Knight Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
But then again, the last time we saw an American actor speaking with an American accent in a role that was English, people didn't seem too fazed by it, so why should they care if history is repeated.
First Knight heads an all star cast with Richard (Why did Cindy leave me) Gere, Sean (I'm over 60 but I'm still sexy to the women....and some men)Connery, and Julia (I'm always part of a love triangle in movies) Ormond.
The three are caught in a love triangle where Julia loves Richard and Richard loves Julia, but Julia also loves Sean and Sean loves Julia and Richard also loves Sean.........okay so the last part isn't true (unless that gerbil story really is true!!!)
