I have to say that I hate most new movies. They rip off the title of an old book, throw the rest of the book away and then make some politically-correct garbage claiming it to be the same story that has little if anything to do with what the book said. Here, a Hollywood director actually made a movie that IS the old book. He didn't even remove the Christian parallels that the original writer intended nor did he change the main characters to be something more politically-correct - I am still trying to get over the shock of seeing a novel properly made into a movie. A very good movie well done. I will be looking forward to the rest of the series.

Though not a rolling-on-the-floor laugh riot, the movie is packed with both witty humor and action, often together, And Gwyneth Paltrow is exquisite. A lost gem.

I use to consider First Knight the worst "Arthurian" based movie ever. The idiots were running around wearing cloth coats with bits of shiny plastic glued to them, they now have my apologies! At-least they were wearing plastic patches and not Robes, beanies and a modern jacket! Now there's something to go alongside the 300 Greek Hoplites jumping around doing karate kicks in loin cloths. Idiots seem to think that 'creative license' and 'politically correct' gives them the right to vomit out whatever garbage they want to. Hey, Historic news flash - political correctness be damned - NONE OF THE KNIGHT OF THE ROUND TABLE WERE BLACK OR CHINESE, no more than any of the 47 Ronin were white! If you want to do something with a bunch of non-white heroes - that's great, just don't trash existing heroes, when are they going to produce a version of the Revolution where George Washington and Ben Franklin are Black? There is some evidence (as shown In 2004) that these characters were based on real people, and I am quite sure that they would be highly OFFENDED by this garbage. I certainly am. If "politically correct" were actually correct then it wouldn't need the word "politically" would it? These idiots should quit doing anything remotely concerning history and stick to the made-up fiction they produce anyway..One review said "Leave your preconceptions at home" Its says "king Arthur" I have the right to certain preconception, like them being English - or at=least European, and wearing some form of armor, not robes and beanies.
