Top Critics Reviews

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

fresh:
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 problem for him[Gere], and the film, comes when the non-physical acting begins.

rotten:
Pillaged of such mainstays as Merlin and Morgan le Fay-as well as magic, majesty and depth-'Camelot' has become 'Camelite.'

rotten:
Bad acting, dumb dialogue, and confusing cinematography abound, creating one of the most shoddy Camelot stories to date.
