Based on {{RT data|count}} reviews, ''First Knight'' is rated at {{RT data|score}} at review aggregator [[Rotten Tomatoes]]. The site's consensus states: "This unimaginative reimagining of Arthurian legend dispenses with the magic without achieving a convincing realism in the bargain, suffering from fatal miscasting and a lack of romance."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/first_knight|title=''First Knight'' (1995)|website=[[Rotten Tomatoes]]|publisher=[[Fandango Media|Fandango]]|access-date={{RT data|access date}}}}{{RT data|edit}}</ref> Film critic [[Roger Ebert]] gave the film two stars in his review, citing Connery and his performance along with the sets but stating that it paled in comparison to other medieval films released the same year such as ''[[Rob Roy (1995 film)|Rob Roy]]'' and ''[[Braveheart]]'' (with ''First Knight'' coming out two months after the latter film), calling it "thin and unconvincing" compared to the other two, while also describing Gere as one who "plays Lancelot with such insouciance that he doesn't seem serious enough to love. He doesn't have the psychic weight to be worth a kingdom."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/first-knight-1995|title=First Knight Movie Review & Film Summary (1995) &#124; Roger Ebert|first=Roger|last=Ebert|website=www.rogerebert.com}}</ref>
