Review: Great movie. Can't wait. But why oh why did you put Shook me all night long when it should have been - WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS!
And the original version. This would have made the movie excellant.

Summary: Enjoyed it fully, worth your money!
Review: A Knight's Tale is far more entertaining than most of this summer's bloated blockbusters. Being a medieval history buff, I made myself close eyes on numerous colossal absurdities (costumes with sewed in sleeves, cowboy-style breeches, a woman-armorer and dozens, dozens of more) and enjoyed this witty, well-directed, well-acted spectacle. What more do you need in a movies where courage, generosity and friendship win over wickedness and intrigues, bringing knightly virtues "to the masses"?Although as if set in France and England of the 14th century, it's a fairytale world that merely looks a bit like medieval Europe. A world where clear-skinned babes in fantastically un-medieval costumes can be sarcastic to clergymen, where a lance striking in the chest squarely for countless times merely chafes inconsequently, where a young ruffian (H. Ledger) can train himself to be a knight over two weeks, enter the world of beautiful maidens (who are being tanned and hazel-eyed deviate far from the beauty standards of those times), contests with a ruthless count (R. Sewell) raised on combat, wins tournament after tournament, finds glory, riches and receives his knighthood from the tip of the sword of the Crown Prince. The cast owes to 2/3 of the flick's success: HL, young, burly, righteous and purposeful, infects the viewer with his ardent zeal "to change his own stars"; RS is perfect in his brooding dark looks as a stunning arrogant villain (whose role is dramatically underwritten, unfortunately); P. Bettany as J. Chaucer is dissolute and roguish, the supporting cast of W Thatcher's best buddies - one silent and reserved, the other - cock-sure and quick-tempered - give you many funny moments. Add up great decorations (although wattle and daub), indeed transferring you to the grandeur of festivities, pure enjoyment of the physicality and force of knights' jousts, some soft rock accompanying the chain of events, and pack away a very good entertaining movie.
Although the pathetic blind father of the main character brought in in the end, as well as pampered Jocelyn, the love interest, ready to elope with HL and "live together with the pigs" undermined my impression and made me take one star down, I'll buy it when it's out, nonetheless. Strongly recommended.

Summary: GREAT MOVIE!!!
Review: I saw this movie in the theater. I absolutely loved it! I didn't really know what to expect before the movie came on. I like "knight" movies and Heath Ledger... so how could I go wrong... right? :) Throughout the entire movie, I was on the edge of my seat. I did not want to miss anything in the movie! First of all, you can't go wrong watching Heath Ledger move in front of you on the big screen... no matter what he's doing, he won't hurt your eyes a bit! The storyline was awesome... I laughed through a lot of the movie. I was really surprised by some of the ending... But I won't give that away for anyone else who hasn't seen this movie yet. Let's just say I cried :) If you like romance, adventure, action, comedy... or eye candy, You'll love this movie. I also recommend the soundtrack; it keeps you moving!!

Summary: Its no Braveheart...
Review: but certainly it is one of the most enthralling and entertaining films of the year! It is perfectly and humourously scripted and divinely portrayed by the lovely Heath Ledger, who seemed made for the chrismatic and cool character of William. It avoids the trap of the intense period film seen which are brought to us in the bucket loads, and offers a fresh new and innovative take, with its extremely modern and somewhat saucy costumes. But then, if you are starring Heath, a little sauciness is in order..
Additionally, the intergration of modern music is superb, helping to create what is an extremely funny, interesting and lovely piece, which innovatively captures an old story in a 14th century setting with humour, wit and Queen.

Summary: How can you pack so much excitement in a DVD?!
Review: This is probably one of the best movies I've seen -- ever. Peasant William (Heath Ledger) has dreamed his whole life of becoming a knight, an impossibility for a peasant. When the knight he serves dies unexpectedly just before a jousting tournament, William puts on his armor and finishes the tournament. With the help of a small band of comrades, he forges proof of his nobility and finds himself in the big leagues. High impact jousting, filled with the intensity of a major league sports event combined with a rocking soundtrack puts you in the front seat of a ride that will have you laughing and cheering as this hilarious and unlikely band of heroes join forces to make this peasant boy's dream come true. There were more than a few times during this movie that I wanted to stand up in the theatre and start cheering! Without a doubt, this movie has been one of the best additions to my DVD collection.

Summary: A fun way to spend a rainy afternoon
Review: I really enjoyed this movie. Sure it was a little predictable and cliched but overall I found it entertaining. The anachronistic music and costume design gave a new, interesting look and sound to a story that has been told before. For every flaw there is an equally creative, original element to balance it. Am I the only woman over the age of 15 who thinks Heath Ledger is a cutie?
