Summary: Not worthy of Braveheart of Gladiator status
Review: I bought this DVD expecting an action packed entrancing thriller.This movie has to be the worst movie I have ever seen. Others have written saying this movie is in their collection with Braveheart of Gladiator. Let me clear something up. This movie will NEVER be in the same class as Gladiator or Braveheart. Nor can you watch it over and over again like you can with Gladiator and Braveheart. This movie attempts to entrance the audience by it's mix of knights, with modern day music and a sad attempt at comedy. But it comes out as a goofy, boring movie. This movie should be under "comedy." Though it is not even worthy of that classification. Have seen better B rated movies. Do not be mislead by the majority of the reviews. Wasted over an hour on this movie.

Summary: A Tale of Perseverance and Courage
Review: A Knight's Tale is a tale of perseverance and courage, a rousing tale of romance and adventure, and is a film worth seeing. In spite of the film's negative aspects, seeing it is not a waste of time. A Knight's Tale is a film that successfully combines adventure, romance, drama, and comedy in a way that keeps you on the edge of your seat, wondering what will happen next The flaws in this film are somewhat obvious. First and foremost, it is not authentic. The storyline is set in medieval 13th century England. In the beginning of the film there is a jousting tournament, and the spectators are actually singing the words to "We Will Rock You". That is not what I call authentic to a medieval 13th century England setting. Also, some of the dialogue is peppered with anachronistic idioms, and it seems that some of the characters are not as developed as others. It is still my opinion, however, that this film is very exciting to watch. Personally, I would classify it as a thriller, and the way in which the storyline blends adventure, romance, drama, and comedy makes up for the flaws. A Knight's Tale is worth the purchase price, and although in my opinion, it doesn't climb to the level of a masterpiece, it is still a film not to be missed by anyone who loves adventure, romance, drama, and comedy.

Summary: It will ROCK you!
Review: William Thatcher (Ledger) a mere peasent and assiant to a knight has to take on his dream to become a knight and joust when his boss dies after a jousting round.
One problem-o... You have to be of noble birth to compete! So taking the place of his master in the jousting competion Thatcher gets a little help from, I don't know some writer by the name of "Chaucer, Geofforey Chaucer? The Writer?" Ring any bells? Chaucer helps them forge a written document of his Geneology to prove he "really is" a noble. And out pops Sir Orik Ven Lichtenstein (if I spelled it correctly)!
Along the way Thatcher finds love at a tournament(Sossoman). But can this "knight" keep his secret forever a secret? Find out and go see it! I loved it and it is one of my all-time favorite movies. It has comedy, action, drama and lots more!

Summary: More than a 1 'Knight' stand !
Review: When the opening scene at a joust resounds with Queen's "We Will Rock You", I knew this was a different movie. I love fantasy and humor (and drama and romance) and this has it all. Heath Ledger is compelling (it took me awhile to realize he had also been in "10 Things I Hate About You" since he's a blond here). The anachronistic (modern) touches are wonderful. The entire cast has great humor and acting ability, especially Paul Bettany (Chaucer) who is enchantingly outrageous (even when is wardrobe is ... lacking. *smile*. I also liked the small part of the character Germaine, Adhemar's herald, which evolves nicely in the background. This movie feels like a combination of Willow and Princess Bride in some ways (a good story with sometimes marvelously silly touches). I watched the movie on a Sunday afternoon, devoured the featurettes and behind the scenes material (suggest 1 pass just watching deleted scenes, then a second pass with director/editor commentary). I had to go out Sunday evening, but when I got back, I finished the special material and watched the whole movie again. I've just put the DVD in my Amazon wish list for my next round of orders, since my daughter (20) and I (40+) both think this is 'a keeper'.

Summary: Well worth the six forty four.
Review: Didn't realize until later that the man character was the same dude off of 10 things I hate about you...that works.
I loved the prince scene at the joisting match. Two men seeking to fulfill their personal dreams yet always being stifled due to some stupid restriction and in the end these positions that once burdened them turned out to be their saving grace.
I enjoyed the love affair between William and the lady, it showed the fact that a beautiful woman can be portrayed as loving and REAL. The film was a great bargain. It was a great movie to watch with your teen daughter...lots of laughs and I would watch it again just to see SIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRR William!

Summary: It Rocks!
Review: I really enjoyed this film ! It was fun and had great action scenes. It was like having the Renaissance Festival right in your living room. My 4 year old son liked it too (not as much as The Mummy though). I highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good laugh, a little romance and a happy ending!

Review: I wasn't expecting to enjoy this "guy" movie. It was GREAT!

Summary: Painful to watch
Review: If you are looking for something that is period, or anything even close to serious drama. This movie offers nothing for you. I find it a rather indignant thing to open the the first scene with Queen's We Will Rock You, (being a fan of Queen). The movie has a dull plot. The best lines are delivered by secondary characters only. Chaucer is a riot, and is the whole reason to even give a passing glance at this one. The jousting scenes are ...[bad], and somehow, althought not surprisingly all the same.

Summary: Ridiculous!
Review: This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. Heath Ledger, as a lead actor, is terrible. In fact, all the actors in this movie are extremely bad. The story is poor and ridiculous. On the other side, if it had not been for a movie like this one, we would not be able to fully appreciate a good movie. Therefore, take my advice- do not rent this movie! It goes without saying that this movie deserves much criticism as there are many flaws and shortcomings. In conclusion, if you see this movie I can assure you that you will be disappointed.

Summary: A Knightly Movie
Review: I thought the movie was great. The way that they modernized the movie a little to make it more relatable was a great touch. Helgeland was able to take a movie that otherwise would be "stiff", and make it into a comedic/dramatic/romantic movie all together.
The actors were wonderful, however I think that Jocelyn (newcomer Shannyn Sossamon) was a little too modern for me. Other than that this is a great movie and deserves the two hours that you will spend watching it.
