While director Jerry Zucker seems to have been intent on dragging the film to the mushy middle, it's still more entertaining than most comparable Middle Ages-set movies. Full Review |

 2.5/4 |
Goes for a pass as a shallow but occasionally rousing swordfighting flick with a handful of thoughtful scenes...has something those other pictures don't have: Sean Connery as King Arthur. Full Review |

Director Zucker is unsuccessful in trying to put a fresh angle on the familiar story, and he is not much helped by his romantic leads, Richard Gere and Julia Ormond. Full Review |

The out-of-place [Richard] Gere doesn't do justice to the fine performance of [Julia] Ormond. Full Review |

No Merlin, no magic, no way.

Bland and over-romanticized treatment of the Arthurian legend. Gere ridiculously miscast as Lancelot. Watch Boorman's EXCALIBUR instead.

Whoever thought Richard Gere would make a good Lancelot needs to be found and sterilized.
