Summary: comical byt not historical
Review: If you are looking for a fun and lighthearted movie, this is it. But if you are in the mood for a serious period film, keep looking. A Knight's Tale combines medival jousting with modern day music and humor.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent entertaining Movie
Review: When I went to see this movie it was because I like the fantasy of that era. From the very begining it was funny and a shock around every corner. It brought me through several different emotions. I loved this movie and want to see it again in the theaters and can not wait til it is out on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: in terms of the dance scene alone....
Review: i cannot do justice to this movie by writing a review, nor could i write one nearly so well as "moirae"(read that one)...so i'll just say that the movie was funny, enormously entertaining, action-packed and has a great soundtrack that allows you to really get into the movie; a movie that appeals to men,women, and children. and may i also add "ohhhhhh...that dance scene!!!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: I would have given it 4 stars....
Review: except for one small quibble, and no, it wasn't the music! ;)

The story was solid, the acting great. What a wonderful supporting cast, and as usual, Heath Ledger keeps up his run of great performances in this movie. The only thing I did not like was the love interest -- although certainly through no fault of the actress who played her, who did the best she could with what she was given, the character annoyed me tremendously and I did not find her to be a very likeable in the slightest. I actually was hoping Heath's character would end up with the other featured female character in the movie, who was far more spunky and interesting. The way the story between Heath's character the the love interest progressed, it seemed as if the writers were also heading in that direction and it was a bit disappointing to me when he ended up with the less-likeable female character.

Like I said, a minor quibble. A fun movie, great costumes, and the music is not all that intrusive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An Awesome Movie
Review: I thought it was a very funny and romantic movie. Which is good cause that is exactly the kinda movies I like to watch. I went with my friends and we couldn't stop laughing at some of the scenes. Although I think that Heath Ledger needs to cute his hair. I just don't think the shaggy look is really working for him. All in all it was a very good movie

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Best Movie on Earth!!!!!!!!
Review: I thought this movie was the best, action packed, romance and comedy. I saw it only once but i cant wait until the movie comes out. It is the movie of the year. Heath Ledger is an awsome actor and makes the movie great if he werent in it there, there would be no movie. I want everyone to see it, you wont be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A fun, quirky film
Review: I thouroughly enjoyed A Knight's Tale. It had all of the components one needs for an enjoyable film: action, romance, drama(and not to mention extremely good looking guys) I loved the seventies music mixed with a medievel setting(some people say that that's what ruined the movie for them, but I though it worked) Basically the movie is about a young man(Heath Ledger, gorgeous!) who is a peasant, but dreams about changin his stars. His opportunity comes about when his master dies at a jousting tournament and he has to fill in for him. He meets a writer along the way, none other than Geoffrey Chaucer(played by a hilarious Paul Bettany) who agrees to forge his...papers(I can't remember what they're called), anyway, he enters in a jousting tournament, and what do you know, turns out to be a natural. However, he must compete with Count Adhemar(Rufus Sewell, who is just as gorgeous as Heath and boy, can he play a spectacular villain) for the title and for the princess(played by a stiff as a board Shannon Sossomon) Yeah, yeah, good guy defeats bad guy and gets girl. So it's a little cliche, but it's pure fun. I though the suporrting cast was excellent also. I was rather hoping that Heath would fall for the female blacksmith rather than the haughty princess, but I suppose the masses wouldn't like that as much. Also, James Purefoy who plays the Black Prince is extremely good looking also. There's pleny of eye candy for the girls, and plenty of action for the guys.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Knight's Tale: a movie that fuses two unlike time periods
Review: I found this movie to be fun and interesting. Not only does it open your mind to the past-times of an earlier period in history, but it also incorporates many modern things such as the music in this movie. I thought the music in this movie tied the past and the future together. A Knight's Tale showed that a lot of things are universal; meaning the music played in the movie fit the scenes it was played with. I would recommend this movie to anyone who needs a good laugh or just wants to see a movie that is like no other. Truth be told, I did smile while watching and leaving A Knight's Tale. You have to admit, it's a very entertaining movie!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Tale Worth Telling!
Review: I will not waste a lot if time and space critiquing every little plot point in this movie. Suffice to say that if you are bothered by a movie set in Medieval times having references to modern pop culture or by having '70's rock music play, this is not the movie for you. However, if you can keep an open mind, this movie encompasses these things very well. A Knight's Tale is a terrific blend of drama, humor(lots of it actually), honor, and a little bit of old-fashioned romance. Admittedly, the romance in this is not even close to the best cinema has ever offered, but it is passable and hardly the best part of the movie. The scenes between Heath Ledger(William) and his band of (somewhat) misfits is what makes this movie so special. The characters (for the most part) are so richly created that you find any scene in this movie a worthwhile one.

I do not want to give away too much of the plot. But I will comment that this movie has great humor and some truly moving moments as well. While it has action with the jousting, it is never overtly violent or bloody. The sex and bad language are kept at a minimum and this still manages to be an entertaining romp for the whole family!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Definitely a new favorite!
Review: A Knight's Tale is a wonderful story about a young man who doesn't simply accept life for what it is - he takes it by the horns and makes his life what he WANTS it to be! This is an aspiring tale of courage, strength, love and bravery. I've seen it 4 times, and I'd go back 4 more! Definitely a great movie for all ages.
