Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUnlike many of the previous Arthurian films that drew to greater or lesser extent from Sir Thomas Malory's (1415-1471) "Le Morte d'Arthur," this film clearly drew from the romances written by French poet Chrétien de Troyes (1130-1191), who actually invented the character of Lancelot.
- GoofsWhen Prince Malagant lays his sword on the round table, he doesn't pick it up when he leaves. That was intentional, a sign of his resignation.
- Quotes
King Arthur: May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.
Featured review
Exactly made as movies should be !!!
I am a regular Hollywood movie buff, and heavily rely on IMDb user ratings, before watching any movie than relying on any other sources, and I prefer to watch movies which are usually rated at least 7 out of 10.
So when I had a chance to see the movie First Knight, I was in a doubt whether to watch this movie with a low rating of 5.6/10, even with great actors like Sean Connery and Richard Gere, or to skip to some other movie.
Luckily I decided to give it a shot, and oh what a movie it was. I really love the medieval age and other historic movies, and this is a gem added to the list. As reading some other reviews revealed earlier, that this is an adaptation of Arthurian legend, and not a true story, so I didn't bothered about the facts in the movie.
It scores really high in terms of acting, fight sequences, chemistry between actors, and especially keeps you engrossed throughout the movie. As a "movie", the story works well and has all the elements balanced.
If you are a fan of historic movies, please don't trust the IMDb ratings for this movie. Just sit and watch this movie on a nice evening, and you won't repent it.
