First Knight
Mel Gibson was attached to this project at one stage, but chose to direct and star in Braveheart (1995) instead.,As Lancelot chases the horse a telephone pole is visible, with barbed wire around it.,King Arthur: May God grant us the wisdom to discover right, the will to choose it, and the strength to make it endure.,Featured in Siskel & Ebert: First Knight/Party Girl/Species/Batman: Mask of the Phantasm/Il Postino (1995),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.,
