Rating: Summary: Unexpected delight Review: After walking out of the vapid Mummy Returns, we walked in mid-way through A Knight's Tale. It was so off beat that we returned the next night to see the entire movie--and loved it. The music, Heath Ledger and the supporting cast are outstanding. If you want to see a movie that makes you care about the characters, laugh and enjoy the music and ending--see this one.
Rating: Summary: Just Have Fun Review: Don't expect too much and have fun. The music, the action and a few good lines. NOT a can't miss movie, but a fun little flick.
Rating: Summary: The Best Movie so far this Year Review: A KNIGHTS TALE is the best movie I have seen in a long time. It has great music, great action scenes, great charcters and its very funny! And for the ladies there is a very cute guy! So I say you should go see this movie as soon as possible!
Rating: Summary: awesome Review: THIS MOVIE WAS TOTALLY AWESOME! I enjoyed every bit of it. The adding of a rock soundtrack to a medival movie was ingenious. At first I expected this movie to be a little soppy, with not much action and no laughter whatsoever. I was proved wrong, though, and laughed throughout the entire movie, and was kept on the edge of my seat by the action scenes! I love how he would not give up and run at the end. I hope to own this movie sometime in the near future! :)
Rating: Summary: Goodnight, good knight! Review: Poorly directed, poorly acted, and a poor story. The Knight's Tale tries to be something for everyone and ends up falling flat on its face. From the overdone opening scene to the anti-climactic ending, it is boring and predictable. And LONG.It's a pity, because it could have been a really good movie. I don't buy the idea that a basically untutored peasant could consistently defeat knights with years of training. And I don't buy the idea that a couple of other peasants could train him to fight effectively - especially not after a single month of training. Sure, maybe he might win one or two bouts, but to be basically undefeated? Puh-leeeze! The worst flaw, though, was the ending. Consider. This dude has just taken a lance point in the shoulder. His arm is so weak that he has to have his lance strapped to his hand for the final pass. Then, after he unhorses his opponent (predictably), he lightly vaults over a fence and hugs his lady - I guess defeating his arch-rival healed his shoulder? Save your money! Heath Ledger may be a hunk - I'm no judge of male pulchritude - but he showed no talent for acting in this piece of dross.
Rating: Summary: a bit cheesy, but fun nonetheless.... Review: This movie had an interesting flip to it that took me by surprise. I was expecting a more authentic medieval time period movie, and found it to be more of a comedy. So, I am not sure if I was disappointed at first or not. Perhaps, if I had read beforehand what to expect, I may have liked it better than I did. I found myself groaning about the 70's pop and rock music used throughout the soundtrack. Were they trying to save money by not formulating fresh and new music? (which could have been awesome), or were they trying to be funny and different?? I am not sure. The costumes were not time period authentic either, but did that matter? I suppose not. HOWEVER, The storyline was fun and had the things I like in a movie...some romance, some action, a good looking main man (and woman...for the guys)...and to my surprise alot of unexpected humor. I enjoyed the characters, and thought they worked well together. I liked the action scenes, they were not "bloody" graphic, but they still packed a punch. I liked the cleanliness of the language, (a welcome change to some of today's movies, which can go overboard with vulgar language). Just so you know what to expect for your kidsake, there was a few "bare butt" scenes, by one of the men (not Heath's). OKAY, So I groaned in disbelief a few times as to the direction they went on some things, I did get a few good laughs and of course some fun entertainment for my money. I just wouldn't say it was the best film I have ever seen, just a fun movie. If that is what you like...you will enjoy this movie...I did...I just won't buy the soundtrack :).
Rating: Summary: BOMB Review: I don't know when I've seen a worse movie....the combination of classic rock and poor acting was at best horrific! I stayed through the entire movie, but it was about as painful as a day at the dentist in medival times. Wait until this movie comes out on cable...don't waste your money or time.
Rating: Summary: "A Knight's Tale" Review: This is a great movie, a great family movie or just go see it by yourself. This shows the movie producers that a PG-13 can be top of the line. Need more movies like "A Knight's Tale" 5 Stars !!
Rating: Summary: It Will Rock You! Review: The second I found out about this movie, I immediately wanted to see it just because of the main character! But after I saw it, I realized I enjoyed beyond the EXTREMELY hot knight. This movie is hilarious, but it is also a wonderful and touching story. You'll get action, romance, adventure, and comedy all rolled into one great movie. Plus, I thought it was so cool how the soundtrack was full of old rock music from Queen and David Bowie. It's definetly worth your money. It's even worth it to see it twice!
Rating: Summary: One of the best movies I've seen in a long time! Review: This movie was wonderful, I can't wait to see it again! It's a mixture of modern music and symbolism and a medieval fairy tale. Potentially this could have been awful but they manage to pull it off beautifully. It's a light hearted, very romantic, hilarious story that pulls you in and leaves you cheering when it's all over. The absence of graphic violence and foul language are not missed, this movie is a perfect example that such things are not necessary in order to pull the audience into a story. Not only will you fall in love with the hero and heroine but the secondary characters as well. Bravo!
