Summary: Minimum authenticity, maximum fun!
Review: As a rennie (rennaisance faire worker/attendee)and costumer i'm highly critical of "period" films, thankfully i went in to see this film knowing that it wasn't historically accurate. It's as if the directors said "Ok, we can't afford to be 100% accurate so let's have fun with the innaccuracy!" This movie has a great plot excellent acting and a lot of great laughs. If you're watchign this movie in a theatre and only a few people are laughing hysterically at some points of the movie there's probably SCA members or other rennies in the audience (or someone finds Jocelyn's hair as funny as we did...)!

Summary: Great Cast, Great Movie
Review: A Knights tale was a fantastic movie!Funny, romantic, all the works! The story was so amazing. And the cast could of never been better, they totally had a good cast. Heath Ledger steamed up the screen, Shannyn Sossamon was beatiful, Mark Addy, Paul Bettany, Larua Fraser and Alan Tudyk we hilarious!This movie is the coolest. I Loved It! Well worth seeing! I have to see it again. Very heart filling movie, everyone should see it! The story is about a man from childhood, dreaming to change the stars, and ends up doinging it. With the help of his friends and his beloved Jocelyn, he does what no one could ever dream to do. Its finaminal!

Summary: The most pathetic thing I have ever had to witness
Review: How could anyone have sat through this entire movie? The thing that I can't believe is that people are rating it as being a good movie. Did you actually see it? I think for me what ruined it the most was the soundtrack. What a horrible selection of music to play for a "midevil" movie. Was it midevil or was it midevil/21st century/terrible. Their verbiage, forgive me if I quote it incorrectly, but there is a scene where the main character has to fix his armor and the blacksmiths tell him,"You have to pay CASH first before we fix it." CASH?! They might as well have asked him for his ATM card.And then the ballroom dance! Do I even have to go there. That is when I walked out of the movie theater. Just don't waste your money people. Please. You will lose braincells watching this movie.

Summary: An excellent adventure
Review: It's a rare thing when I actually want to see a movie that's released into theatres. I find that all too often movies are full of violence, swearing, and sex. I was very much relieved when I heard about this release coming out--and I was not in the least disappointed. In fact, it was better than I imagined! The story is funny, exciting and inspiring. It's message is to reach for your dreams and to not let circumstances stop you. As for the cast, they were all great in their roles. Particularly noteworthy, however, are not its stars but rather the actor who turned in a fine performance as a young Geoffrey Chaucer (another reason why I wanted to see this film--it was supposedly what gave Chaucer the idea for his "Canterbury Tales"). All in all, it is a great film for the entire family. I wish it the best of luck at the summer box office.

Summary: I was lured into this movie by force......
Review: Unfortunately, I was brought to this movie by someone (who will remain nameless for fear of embarassment) without ever seeing a preview, or having the faintest idea of what to expect. Mind you, had I actually seen the previews, I would have NEVER walked into the theater in the first place.I was shocked at the level to which this movie took the word "cliche". Mindless and formulated for a mass audience... which isnt saying much for the masses. And for those who liked it, you are working for "the man"... do you really like to be involved in a money making equation? This movie is a blantant example of what is wrong with "the industry", lack of inspiration, lazy plot, no sign of intelligence behind the making of this film... except to say they will turn a slight profit knowing that there will always be an audience that fits into a narrow equation. Like a twinkie factory. I should not be so hard, I suppose. I have managed to steer clear of these movies for a long time and have had no reason to scream "INSANITY". This is just my way of revolting, and purging the incredible nonsense that I was forced to digest. Definately a movie I wouldve walked out on if I was not with.... well...who I was with.

Summary: SILLY FUN
Review: Heath Ledger confirms his star potential in this fluffy, midbrow-concept fable, which is utterly predictable. His performance is one of the more compelling elements in this corny story, set in a nameless medieval jousting era. The fun concept of using 70s rock tunes such as WE WILL ROCK YOU and TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS is never exploited fully, and so falls flat, with the single exception of a delightful dance sequence set to David Bowie's GOLDEN YEARS -- for a few moments, the movie musical comes back to life. One wishes the movie went full-tilt into the anachronistic fun of music and story/setting -- it might have been a camp classic while rousing pre-fab emotion. As it is, A KNIGHT'S TALE has its limited appeal, but is only half-baked.

Summary: Wow was this bad!
Review: I just got back from seeing this terrible, terrible movie and felt the need to share my feelings in a review. Nothing about this movie was enjoyable. From the opening scene with the crowd of the jousting match singing We Will Rock You, I knew I was in trouble. There should surely be a rule about using 70s rock anthems in movies about jousting that are set before 1970, or for any movies about jousting. I now understand why there have been so few jousting movies out, because it's boring. Once you see one person get knocked off their horse, you've seen it all. This movie is acted horribly, written horribly, and directed horribly. Save your money and go buy a best of 70s Rock compilation album instead.

Summary: A Knight's Tale
Review: The film was enjoyable. It has action for the men and a love story for the women. It was also pretty humorous.

Summary: Awesome
Review: OMG! I loved this movie. And not just b/c Heath Ledger was in it. The movie was awesome. It was really funny, and a lot better than I expected it to be. The paper gave it harsh reviews, but when i went and saw it- i just figured out that the reviewers don't like those kind of movies. Either way, the movie was great- and if you haven't seen it- you should. And it was okay on ratings and all-- despite seeing a man's butt cheeks twice in the movie.
