the first time i saw this movie i think it be great . a little background . i grow up in a household that view tv a sinful . this be the first movie i ever saw . i love it . recently i be in the mood for some nostalgia so i rent first knight . i can not say enough bad thing about this film . here be the thing i dislike about it in no particular order . 1. not faithful to the arthur legend . 2. their idea of sword fighting be two people stand still and swat each others sword . pathetic . 3. way too much blue . everything be blue . if the smurfs tell the story of king arthur there would be less blue use . 4. richard gere . in a period piece . with an american accent . really . 5. for living outside and fight all the time richard gere certainly be clean . 6. the tactic that the attacker use to draw the defender away from the coach be literally the old one in the book . however the commander be not reprimand . anyone who fell for that should have be immediately demote back down to his level of competence . 7. period incorrect armor and weapon . 8. mindless drivel that pass for dialogue . 9. julia ormond be a pathetic actress . 10. the director seem determine to undermine all suspension of disbelief . at every moment of the movie they remind you not just that it be a movie but also that it be a bad movie .
