Summary: Drinking Game Scene
Review: Use the scene selector to get to the end of the film. Fast forward to 2:11:30, and you'll see an extra drinking game scene.

Summary: Not meant to be serious
Review: The movie sets the tone early by having a bunch of villagers at a jousting match chatting "We will rock you" over the opening credits. From here on in it's safe to say this movie doesn't take itself too seriously, and neither should you. This is a nice lite movie that exists only to entertain. Also, the special features aren't half bad either (deleted scences, director's commentary, etc.)I enjoyed this movie and it even gave me a fun phrase to throw around, "I will fong you!" (Fong means to kick; or so the director claims during the commentary).

Summary: lame excuse for a medieval fantasy
Review: If you are a fan of medieval fantasy, swashbuckling adventure or romantic action movies - avoid this film like the Black Plague!
However, if you are into boring, predictable sports comedies - go for it.
It put me to sleep for the middle part of the story, however, when I woke up in time to catch the end, I realized I hadn't missed much... everything had ended up exactly as expected.

Summary: This movie bites
Review: I saw this movie in the theatres when it came out. I should have spent the money on something better. It was trite and ridiculous. The opening scene, where the peasants are clapping along to "We Will Rock You"...I should have walked out then. It was overhyped and unoriginal in the extreme. Even if you like certain types of stupid movies you may find this one hard to swallow. I certainly did. It's two hours of my life I'd love to have back.

Summary: They are the champions!
Review: This film is about dreams coming true no matter how impossible they may be. It's about guts & perseverance & honor. The combination of a medieval story, 70's rock music, unique costumes, funny actors not to mention a subtle endorsement from Nike, make this film rise from any shortcomings it may have. Looking beyond all its uniqueness & eccentricities, this movie gives out lessons on honor, family, love & of nobility being more than an acquired title. I have seen this movie several times & it has not failed to make me laugh (guffaw) on exactly the same scenes. The director, cast & crew of this movie are 'real champions'.

Summary: Completely ridiculous film.
Review: This is seriously one of the worst films I have ever seen. It is hard to even descibe the putridness of this movie. It is an absolute abomination. First of all, the story is trite, unimaginative and contains nothing at all original. Good guy vs. bad guy who wins the girl that they are both after. Big surprise.
Not only that, but the way that they way that this picture was made was just so obviously a Hollywood grab for teenagers' money. Cast a bunch of hot guys and girls into the lead roles (and every other role for that matter), and then dress them in form-fitting clothes that would never have been worn in 1360 or whenever this was supposed to take place. Then add a bunch of flashily lighted sequences, modern rock songs, dance sequences, modern slang terms and outrageously overly stereotypical characters (like the "crazy" best friend who has an unexpected sensitive side, and the girl armor-maker that everyone dismisses, but turns out to be brilliant). This whole film just reeked of Hollywood glitz and everything that is wrong with movies and the world in general. Superficial fluff suitable for no one. Do not buy this, you will be sorry unless you are mindless.

Summary: Once A King, ALways A King. But Once A Knight Is Enough!!!
Review: THis is a thoroughly enjoyable flick with absolutely no historical or social values. The story centers around a young man's desire to prove himself and his worth regardless of his social place and birth.
William is the son of a peasant thatcher, squired to a knight. While making the jousting tournament rounds, the knight dies. William takes his place, assumes an alias and proceeds to set the circuit on fire with his bravery and skill. His companions, including a young Chaucer, aid him in this adventure, culminating in a world championship tournement in London...
It is a light farcical fairy tale with plenty of music, humor and overacting. It is filled with puns and satirical smirks at today's idolation of pop culture and sport figures.
Enjoy it in the vein in which it was intended.

Summary: Good Drama!

Summary: Friendship, Loyalty and Honor
Review: This is a very innovative and entertaining film. The innovation comes in the form of the film's use of contemporary music and dialogue. The film's actors and the use of these contemporary elements combine for great storytelling. The film is both enjoyable and enthralling. What I found really interesting was how the film seemed even truer to the Knights-in-armor genre by the use of these modern elements. I think the music and the dialogue were so universal that they transcended time yet were able grasp the viewer by the emotional jugular. This is a fantastic, magical and uplifting film. It teaches us all a thing or two about friendship, loyalty and perseverance and the honor one can gain by never quitting when the odds are against you. This is a great film.

Summary: A paradoxically bad and outstanding film
Review: As a student of medieval history and literature, I at first approached this movie with a critical eye, though I was still looking forward to it nonetheless. My suspicions were confirmed in the first five minutes as not only the music but also the speech and mannerisms were anachronistic. It seems to me, however, that as filming progressed the actors and directors became more serious about the film and its subject matter, and the anachronisms and cheesiness, though still present, were more subtle and ceased to detract from the film. Instead, a rich emotional landscape emerged, and the characters became increasingly real and human. The themes and characters were clearly intended to appeal to a modern audience, but they did an excellent job of it and I was on the brink of tears at a couple of touching scenes. But, as other reviewers have pointed out, the comedy and anachronism separates it from other recent epics such as Gladiator and Braveheart. As Geoffrey Chaucer could well appreciate, this is a film which successfully blends many genres into a beautiful presentation.
