Director Zucker is unsuccessful in trying to put a fresh angle on the familiar story, and he is not much helped by his romantic leads, Richard Gere and Julia Ormond.
March 21, 2003
Bland and over-romanticized treatment of the Arthurian legend. Gere ridiculously miscast as Lancelot. Watch Boorman's EXCALIBUR instead.

No Merlin, no magic, no way.

While director Jerry Zucker seems to have been intent on dragging the film to the mushy middle, it's still more entertaining than most comparable Middle Ages-set movies.

The out-of-place [Richard] Gere doesn't do justice to the fine performance of [Julia] Ormond.
January 01, 2000
There's swordplay to the hilt, but the story itself never quite gets in Gere.
April 21, 2008
Goes for a pass as a shallow but occasionally rousing swordfighting flick with a handful of thoughtful scenes...has something those other pictures don't have: Sean Connery as King Arthur.

Whenever Zucker stops piling on battle scenes as if he were directing Braveheart, his film casts a romantic spell.
January 01, 2000
Pillaged of such mainstays as Merlin and Morgan le Fay-as well as magic, majesty and depth-'Camelot' has become 'Camelite.'
January 01, 2000
...lots of action and chivalrous pomp, but no magic.
February 13, 2001
The problem for him[Gere], and the film, comes when the non-physical acting begins.
February 13, 2001
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.
