Summary: Most enjoyable film in a long time....
Review: Why can't more films be like this? Doesn't Hollywood know "it's about characters, stupid!" I've been "special effects" saturated - give me characters I can believe in and love as if they were friends. We watch good movies over and over to visit with these "friends", not the plot, not the special effects. This film has a marvelous batch of characters I now think of as my new friends. I'll be re-visiting them over the years. A Knights Tale is for all of us who have dreams that we can change even the stars in Heaven if only we want something deeply enough. There is a magic in such films that lets us glimpse a world that could be...if only we love it with all our hearts. My favorite line is when Chaucer says "I have to see a man about a dog." Please don't spoil this movie with a sequel. Magic like this doesn't strike twice.

Summary: This movie is bad
Review: This is a movie that disappoints. The ...reviewer incomprehensibly refers to director Brian Helgeland's first movie (Payback w/ Mel Gibson) as bad compared with this. Payback isn't a four star movie by any means, but it was at least clever and original. This movie is utterly predictable at every turn. Every character is one-dimensional and entirely unbelievable. The biggest twist in the movie comes at the end when it is revealed that the main character's lifelong friends don't care whether he dies.
"Oh, you wan't to joust without armor? Okay. Go ahead. I see no reason to argue. I mean what possible harm could a staff do if it is thrust into your chest or head by somebody who has it anchored to a horse in a full run? Yes, well, go ahead then." First Ledger's character is described as having no technique (at jousting) and then, maybe a month later, is described as absolutely unbeatable. Bear in mind he is jousting in the world championship with people that have trained their whole lives to do nothing but joust professionally. Speaking of the jousts -- this is a movie about jousting. The audience gets the chance to watch about 45 minutes worth of virtually identical runs down a center divide on a horse with people getting hit with sticks. We also get to watch white flags be put up over and over again. I cannot stress enough how little variety can be added to jousting matches to make them watchable on screen over and over and over, etc... The love story is ridiculous and never once conveys any true feelings. Heath sees the pretty girl. Heath's charms begin to win girl. Heath, for no reason ever even hinted at in the movie, begins yelling multiple insults at point-blank range to the girl he has been absolutely infatuated with since he first saw her and she storms away crying. Now the movie is set up for Heath to win her back. This is where the film get's romantic. The girl asks Heath to sit on his horse and do nothing while one after another javelin are rammed into his chest by charging knights on horses. Heath is nearly killed while the girl watches-cringing/grinning the whole time. He is in such bad shape after doing as he is asked by his love interest that when she sees him she thinks he is in danger of dying, then he makes love to her. senseless...

Summary: Exciting yet silly movie
Review: Being a student of medieval history, I found this movie full of so many errors and missplacements that I finally gave up trying to take it seriously. So why did I give this movie 4 stars? Because it's such a thrill to watch. The humor is great, the sets are wonderful, and the action is intense! There isn't too much to the characters depth, but the joust scenes let me forget about that. Put aside your knowledge of medieval history and culture and enjoy the movie for what is has to offer: excitement and adventure!

Summary: Rolled my eyes when hubby rented it. Loved it.
Review: There's nothing to criticize about this movie: cinematography, effects, action, sound, acting, period info, it's all there, and a feel-good too. It helps to activate the subtitles in understanding the old English dialogue.

Summary: Amazingly good!
Review: A knight's tale was an exciting ,movie from the medival times.
I liked this movie because it wasn't just about the jousting or the girl it was a good mixture of both. It wasn't boring to watch. You were fixed on the screen and what would happen next and if they would find out he wasn't of noble birth. It had my heart racing at the end. His co-stars were a very funny group especially the guy with the red hair! The sound is amazing. When he races it is kind of in slow motion and all you can hear is the sound of his armor clinging and clanging and the horse snorting.I thought it was a great movie and everyone who likes a cute guy or medival sports should watch this movie.

Summary: Fun for the whole family.
Review: A contemporary view of the life of a Knight (Heath Ledger of The Patriot) in the days of jousting and tournaments. Backed up by a smashing crew and music from such groups as Third Eye Blind, David Bowie, and Sly and the Family Stone. The movie opens with a crowded arena filled with medieval maids and men, to Queens resounding "We Will Rock You". Everyone is roaring and clapping to the beat. It was at this point I knew this "Knights Tale" would be like no other, and to expect the unexpected. As Ledger works his way up through the ranks he falls in love with the Lady Jocelyn and his winning streak proves he is capable beyond a doubt. This is a wonderful film for the whole family. It also has an awesome soundtrack, that I also had to buy. Kelsana 11/30/01
