Summary: None too Serious
Review: This movie, walks a fine line, that not many others have been able to walk. The Film takes itself seriously, but not so seriously as to seem pretentious, and yet not so loose, as to seem to have had any of the Wayans Brothers Involved at any level of it's production. It's a good meat and potatoes flick, especially if you're into one of the following:

1. Cross Genre Film
2. Old Guy Rock
3. Renasance Period Stuff

But are willing to take the other two with the one you like. Besides... It's all supposed to be about having fun isn't it?

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: A Knightmare more like ...
Review: As the movie starts out, you can't stop but to notice to hard-rock music of Queen's "We Will Rock You." People are clapping/stomping to hard-rock and doing "the wave" in the stands. I guess this was where "the wave" was discovered. That threw me off already. I thought this would be like something of Camelot calibur. This movie is a slop job. The only bright thing of this movie is the character Geoffery Chaucer. Unlike anything from his, Cantebury Tales, this movie stands pretty low.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What A Tale
Review: This puts a new spin on Chaucer's legendary tale. It has it all: love, adventure, and excitement. Everything hangs on the performance of the lead character and Heath pulls its off without a hitch. Great acting, great story, this movie is worth every penny!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Ouch! Stop! Please!
Review: Remember Rocky? The original? The Academy Award winning film about a wrong-side-of-the-tracks pugilist given a million-to-one shot at fame and glory?

Now imagine that film set medieval times. With inferior acting. And poor casting (that was an ENGLISH princess?). And glossy production values. And no heart.

This movie could have been really funny if played strictly for comedy...if it laughed at itself more. Unfortunately, it takes itself too seriously too often; not all the time, but enough to repeatedly insult the intelligence of the audience. It takes a monumental effort towards the suspension of disbelief to stomach this movie...even just to play along.

David Bowie's "Golden Years" is forever sullied. "We Will Rock You?"...yikes!

Adriaanne!

Summary: Sounds like fun
Review: I saw this film in the theater and loved it so was naturally pre-disposed to liking it when I took the DVD home. However, if you were someone who only partially liked it buy it anyway as the sound is awesome! It's straight Dolby Digital (no DTS option) but the horses hooves, the snorting nostrils and the sound of the armor is amazing. They took great care with the sound on this disc and it shows. The aforementioned rock soundtrack was obvioulsy digitally re-mastered and unlike a lot of discs with rock tracks, they make very little use of the center channel on this one for the music and leave most of the music in the fronts and rears. Awesome looking disc, awesome sounding disc. At that point, I wouldn't care whether the movie was any good or not, just a bonus that the movie itself is a lot of fun!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Typical
Review: Let me just start off with saying that the editorial review for this movie was. . . unhelpful. So the movie has rock music in it. Who cares?

With that aside, this movie is basically a compilation of things I've seen in other movies many times before. For example--the "common peasant" making his way to greatness-storyline, the teach me how to dance because I don't know how to dance-scene, the two opposing characters with a love interest in the same girl, and of course the bad guy getting beaten in the end while the good guy steals the girl. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the bad guy wears black armor and rides a black horse. This is orginality at its best.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: AWESOME!!!
Review: Yeah, this movie rocks. I saw it 3 times in the theater which is the only time I've done that since Titanic. I would DEFINITELY recommend it. Not only is Heath Ledger hot, the movie is actually really good and really funny!! See it!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie Has It All
Review: I personally loved it. I am a huge fan of knight movies and this was great. However it is not necessarily a historical fiction it is more fiction. Why? Well it has We Will We Will Rock you as the entrence song. I like how they did that it makes it more intresting. I would only recomended this to a fan of medievil times and if you are a fan of Keith Ledger. Other movies you should watch if you enjoyed this are Braveheart all time best move, and First Knight another great film. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A grate action movie and love story
Review: It was just like romeo and Juliette a little bit of a spoof but it was still fun and a grate movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: FONGING BRILLIANT!!!
Review: This movie is easily one of my favourites for the year, with its mix of action, humour and romance it really makes for an enjoyable watch. Heath Ledger gives a great performance, as do the rest of the cast. Shannyn Sossamon's costumes are often quite interesting and innovative, not quite fitting in with the Medieval setting, but then, what in this movie does?? I knew right away that I wanted to watch it again, and after a second viewing, I just HAD to own it. I would recommend this movie to anyone who is up for a bit of light-hearted entertainment, and it is easily worth the five stars I have given it.
