Summary: Totally a waste of time and money
Review: I am a big fan of knight and magic stuff. Although this movie has a attractive title, it's deceptive as well. It really has nothing to do with knight and magic, it's just making shabby jokes that i don't feel interesting at all. I just think it's not worthy of time and money, unless you are rich at both of them.

Summary: Predictable Movie, but Great DVD Features
Review: "Black Knight" is a predictable movie filled with all the cliched Hollywoodisms you would expect from a studio comedy. You'll know how it ends before the movie's over. Martin Lawrence gives an okay, but largely forgettable performance as a "fish-out-of-water" character in a strange land, but the material is what suffers in this film unfortunately. The characters seem to just be going through the motions and Martin looks as though he's just doing it for the paycheck.Feature aside, the DVD is chock-full of special features and tons of extras. It actually makes the movie better than it is. You can tell the director really wanted to give fans of the film more bang for their buck. The DVD has wonderful color, sharp visuals, crisp resolution and dynamic dobly digital sound. The special features are great. You get two featurettes, behind the scenes commentary from Martin Lawrence and the director himself. Plus, you get to hear testimonials from Martin and the cast about each other. The deleted scenes also give you more insight into the characters and their roles in the film. The outtakes are more funny than the actual main feature. Overall, I'd recommend purchasing Black Knight only if you're a fan of the movie. Fans of Martin Lawrence that are expecting the rib-tickling comedy of his Def Comedy Jam days should be foreworned, this isn't Martin at his peak. Check out Runteldat if you're in the mood for the Martin we love. Other than that, I suggest you rent the film rather than shell out the bucks for it.

Summary: From the Ashes Arises a Mighty Phoenix of Laughter and Love
Review: Smoke; fire; pain; misery; defeat; the planes crash into the seemingly indestructible towers, bringing their dominance over the Manhattan skyline to a premature end. I stare at the television screen unable to mask horror thrust upon my face, unable remove the terrifying images that have burned into my retinas. I shut my eyes in order to hide the terror; however, the horrifying ordeal is merely reenacted from within the realms of my own dementia. In attempts to escape the terror building inside me, I gently flip the channels on my television; however, with each new station comes a whole new set of cursed images. The gentleness of my changing of channels takes on a sense of urgency as I frantically search for salvation. Just when I think my emancipation from evil will never occur, my prayers come answered. A movie is placed upon my screen. A movie depicting funny African American fellow dressed up in a New York Jets jersey and a shiny suite of armor. I begin to laugh from the get-go; his Champlin-like antics scratch me where I itch. The once seemingly permanent macabre images of death and destruction are replaced by fanciful depictions of a feudal past long forgotten. I sit in awe of the film, not only for its beautiful sets, but also for the comedy genius of Martin Lawrence. His brandish form of humor gives my body strong dosage of much needed laughter. This film, Black Knight, was there for me when I needed it most. It threw me a life preserver when I was drowning in a sea of despair. Since 9-11 I have watched the film over 352 times and counting. Each viewing brings me to that same state of bliss where all the evils in the world go away. I just wish the demons would stop returning after those 95 minutes of cinematic pleasure are over.

Then he gets a rude awakening, when he unexepectedly gets in a mishap at work and wakes up in a unexplain place transports him back in the 14th century England. Armed with his fast-talking modern-day street smarts, he must help a rebelious maid (Marsha Thomason) and a failed knight (Tom Wilkinson) to fight an Evil King (Kevin Conway) and the King Evil Knight (Vincent Regan) to regain to have the Queen's honor in thier fight of glory. Directed by Gil Junger (Ten Things I Hate About You) made a entertaining light-weight fanatsy comedy, it's fun thanks to Lawrence's comic enjoyable performance. This wasn't a huge hit as it should have been but it's a perfect rental for Lawrence fans and for the Family viewing.

DVD has an good commentary track by the Director and an Scene-Specific commentary by Actor:Lawrence. There's also Three Deleted Scenes with/without the Director's commentary, Outtakes, Behind the Scenes featurettes and more. The film is highlight by the good-looking cinematography by Ueli Steiger (Rock Star) and an fine music score by Randy Edelman (Dragonheart). This is a fun flick. Super 35. Grade:B+.

Summary: 1 star is generous!
Review: Some of Martin Lawrences stuff is extreme, but I was expecting some laughs out of this film. There was a 'tee-hee' here and there, but this movie was obviously trying to be a serious moral drama, as opposed to anything remotely funny. I kept waiting for the laughs, and they never came. This movie was the worst comedy I've seen. Watch something else and save yourself the pain.

Summary: He Did Much Better Comedies Than This Passable One
Review: Just a passable comedy from Martin Lawrence, "Black Knight" follows the (mis)adventure of Jamal, a worker at a medieval amusement park. Cleaning up the water around the "castle" of the park, he finds a shining medal. He reaches for it, but is sucked into the water, to eventually find himself in the real medieval castle in the 14th century England, where he is treated as a messanger from Normandy. To fend off the danger coming to him, he has to keep on his disguise, no matter what happens during the course. The premise is interesting, and I agree that "Black Knight" is not as bad as you might think. However, the fact is, Martin Lawrence did better films like "Bad Boys" "Nothing to Lose," and "Blue Streak," all of which I enjoyed. And all of them have able players as his sidekicks --
Will, Tim, and Luke, respectively -- but in "Black Knight" he chose to go alone almost through the whole movie though Tom Wilkinson ("Full Monty") gives a few precious help (but rather in a too serious mood) as a drunken knight. As a result, the camera, intentionally or not, shows constantly Lawrence's mugging; in itself it is all right, especially when he has a partner by his side, but in this case I soon found that he does it too much. I can understand how his fans love what he does; but it is hardly possible for the film to convert anyone who sees him for the first time, to one of them; "Blue Streak" and "Big Mama's House" would have a better chance. Sometimes the film is really funny, and it is when Jamal teaches the musicians at the court how to play the funky music of Sly and the Family Stone's number, "Dance to the Music." As far as this scene goes, "Black Knight" should be called funny. But it just doesn't last long.

Summary: Black Knight Saves the Day....(yawn)
Review: Jamal (Martin Lawrence) works at a small Medieval amusement park and he could care less whether the amusement park lasts or perishes from competition. One day he ends up finding a medallion in the bottom of the moat while cleaning it. When Jamal grabs the medallion he is sucked into a time warp and ends up in the English 12th century where brute knights and beautiful maidens live in filth and tyranny. Jamal adjusts quickly to the new environment and he even gets his own line of designer clothes. Martin Lawrence is hilarious at times, however, the big picture is a rather terrible film experience.

Summary: "Sorry Mike Myers, Lawrence has you beat!"
Review: This is probably the funniest movie I have ever seen! Martin Lawrence was good at portraying the extremely funny Jamale Skywalker, and the supporting cast and script was extremely good. The movie's plot follows Jamale (Lawrence) as an amusement park employee who sees a golden medallion in a pond and tries to grab it, but ends up falling in and is transported back to the Medieval times. He learns a lot along the way, and also teaches the disgusting King Leo and his court a thing or two about the 21st century. He also does a lot of stuff that you can't help but smile or laugh at. To break it down for you, I definitely suggest watching "Black Knight", and if you can't get a hold of this, then try "Austin Powers in Goldmember" or "Me, Myself & Irene".

Summary: Loosen up...
Review: This film is a typical shallow-plotted movie with a flare for comedy & a twist of adventure. If you watch this film with no expectations at all, chances are, you will enjoy it. I suggest that viewers should have no preconceived idea against any of the actors, especially that of the lead role. True, this film is no brainer, but if you give it a chance, you will find yourself laughing at some silly (& yes, stupid!)scenes. However, if you watch this film with a preset mind (e.g. it's lousy, yes I agree), you will definitely end up getting annoyed. More so, if you expect some serious stuff, you will definitely find this a waste of time. So I suggest that you loosen up a bit, watch this film when you're in a good mood (ok, maybe even when you're not in perfect condition)& simply enjoy the company. Word of advice: Don't buy. Just rent.

Summary: A Great Performance By Martin Lawrence!
Review: This is a great movie including a part where Martin Lawrence was sleeping with the princess. This is agreat movie including the cast: Martin Lawrence, Marsha Thomason, & Tom Wilkinson. You should make a sequel "Black Knight II: Black Warriors," where all the black people he knew, travel back to MidEngland, and show all his stuff is true. You do that, and I'll give "Black Knight," and "Black Knight 2" ***** (5 out of 5).
