7. First Knight (1995) My rating 5/10. IMDB Summary:
Lancelot lives by the sword. In fact, they're next door neighbours, so teaming up to fight for money comes pretty naturally. Lady Guinevere, on her way to marry King Arthur is ambushed by the evil Sir Malagant. Fortunately Lancelot is lurking nearby and he rescues his future queen. They fall in love, but Guinevere still fancies the idea of wearing a crown, so she honours her promise to Arthur. Can Lady Guinevere remain faithful, or will this Pretty Woman become a lady of the knight?
I don't have much of an opinion on this one, pro or con. It's your standard mid-90s period-costume-action-drama. Sean Connery is in it, so that's good. Other than that, it's watchable but nothing special. The scenery is nice, especially if you like English sheep.
Deviations from standard Arthurian mythology: King Arthur is portrayed as being much older than usual. In fact, most King Arthurs would be long dead by the time they reached Sean Connery's 1995 age. This movie calls him "the king of Camelot" and does not mention England or Britain, almost as if it is set in a fictional land. No sign of Merlin or any supernatural elements, no sword in stone.
