Summary: Mindless Fun
Review: Stop analyzing this film and enjoy it for what it is, cotton candy for the brain.

The extras on the DVD are fun, and the sound is excellent. You can really hear the lances hit.

Summary: A Knight's Tale of his mediocre movie
Review: This movie ain't too good. I have a multitude of problems with it. Heath Ledger is a peasant who worms his way into the knight class and is suddenly an unstoppable jouster after practicing really hard for only a month. By beating everyone who comes in his path he is sure to make his mark in the tournament championship.

The jousting scenes are nicely done and shot, but there's an endless amount of them! One after another after another. A third of the film's running time would be cut out if they only gave us a streamlined version. It gets tiring seeing the same joust situation over and over again.

Another gripe of mine is that I thought this movie was supposed to have a level of campy humor. It might have, but I didn't see it. There are as many "funny" lines as I have fingers on my hands. There's too few lines of humor to make it campy so it's pulled back into a mediocre drama.

The characters aren't much to care for either, especially Heath Ledger's romantic interest. She's royalty and thus is to wrapped up in herself. She's too cold for the audience to like.

There might be some entertainment for some groups in this. A positive to this movie is in the skill the jousts are executed, but besides a swordfight, those are the only action scenes in the movie and they get old real fast. Too much style, not enough plot or character development.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Great Movie!
Review: A Knight's Tale is a wonderful movie. I highly recommend it to anyone! Heath Ledger is a terrific actor, not to mention he looks really really really good.

Summary: Fantasy, Romance, Humor.. High Times Tonight.
Review: For any of you die hard romantics out there, anyone who enjoys Fantasy and Romantic Comedy (much the same thing). I highly recommend this movie. Manages to be outrageous while still maintaining its dignity (stays mostly on the high road), mostly thanks to exceptional casting, direction and high production values. Three exceptionally good looking (potentially attractive) women, a good looking guy and some engaging sidekicks. The computer aided scenes are above average also, blend in well.. thanks to the director or producer who did an outstanding job with this one. Avoids the type of moronic/sophmoric humor that is so common nowadays.
Yep, guy sets out to realize his dream, suffers through the slings and arrows, wins the maiden fair.. and leaves the villain in the dirt. What more could you want in an escapist fantasy, feel good movie?

Summary: We Will.. We Will Rock You
Review: To be honest, I had no desire to see this movie. I attended a rennisance festival in my area and it totally awakened me to this time in history and I thought hey, how bad could it be? Well I was astonished to find that it wasn't bad at all. I enjoyed it. It's a rather well told story and I don't think that the soundtrack takes from it at all. I thought this was a great movie over all. If you've ever been enchanted or interested in this time in history this will certainly give you a what if that was happening now feel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome movie!!!!
Review: This is a great movie!!!!!!!!!! It's sweet, funny, entertaining and exciting. It's a wonderful mix of action, comedy, and romance. People have been giving it negetive reviews because of the way it draws modern songs and styles into a medieval time setting. But that's what gives it it's charm and makes it fun to watch!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Wonderful cast, interesting story. Distracting soundtrack.
Review: It's too bad such an interesting, well acted story was waylaid by the constant barrage of anachronistic music, costume design and dialog. There were so many good things to recommend this movie, but every time they would break into a rock song or the lead love interest would show up with magenta streaked hair, the net effect was jarring. I'm glad we rented rather than bought this one!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It rocks
Review: Romantic, exciting, just overwhelming - can't get my eyes off it! Heath Ledger played very natural, one believes everything he's doing or saying ;o)

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enjoyable entertainment
Review: This is a pleasing rags-to-riches tale of a young servant
who takes a knight's place in a jousting match after the knight dies. The young man is, of course, handsome and charming and he falls in love with a woman who is many rungs above him on the social ladder. It sounds rather trite, but the plot is handled well and the interplay between the knight wannabe and his friends is often very amusing. The moviemakers work hard to figure out all of the ways that a knight can be knocked off his horse and they proceed to show most of them. The tongue-in-cheek attitude is even carried out in the soundtrack which at times lapses into contemporary songs which causes the lords and ladies of the movie to perform dances which were never dreamed of during the years of knighhood. This is a fun movie with an attractive cast, interesting settings and the right kind of ending.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: What were they thinking?
Review: If you can ignore the occasional modern-day outfits clumsily juxtaposed into the medieval scene, and the fight scene at the end, the movie is not too bad. Not great, mind you, but not too bad. See it when you have a party (a girl's slumber party), and can afford to talk through the really silly parts. See it if you think that the knight is "oh so dreamy". See it for some of the cool fight scenes ... but don't expect much. One can only wonder at its potential amusement value to MST3K fans.
