First Knight sets a new standard for medieval movies. Its thrilling battle scenes, romance, and drama are tied together by a breathtaking score, strong and mesmerizing. Supported by an excellent cast, the movie flows beautifully, though Gere fails to pull out an English accent. Besides a few 1990's tidbits, First Knight is strong in every aspect from start to finish.
