Watched the BD of First Knight yesterday. For a movie of it's age, for the most part it looked fantastic. There were a few shots that were a bit dirty and showed some flaws with the print, but overall another great looking catalogue title from Sony. The audio was very good, aggressive at parts and clear. Fans of the movie will not be disappointed with this release.

Plays on Starz or one of those in HD from time to time and I was nicely surprised at how great much of it looked. The DVD was horrid by comparison.

I agree, I reviewed this title a couple of weeks ago and was very impressed with the PQ and AQ. It is so much better than the DVD that you would think they were different movies.

Makes me feel nostalgic... That was the first feature film I had seen in HD, in 1080i on a CRT projector. Probably 7 years ago. I was ecstatic about the image quality. :cool:

But you won't feel that ecstatic now.

No foolin'. The movie is awful, a misfire almost across the board.

It's a cheesefest, but I have a weakness for cheese movies. Richard Gere does some of the poorest swordplay EVER.

Here's a fun edit:

I like this movie....real shame about the horse that died during the making of it but that was an accident.

I thought Richard Gere was quite good in this but Connery dominates any scene he's in and adds class to the proceedings - Great music score too.

Think I'll check it out in the near future as I never saw this movie. Thanks for your opinions.
