A Knight's Tale (Superbit Collection)

Rating:
Summary: Work of Satan
Review: This is a zero star film.
A real abomination... why was it made? How can anyone actually like it?
The humanity...

And besides, such low born scum could never aspire to the lofty goal of knighthood... ha!

Take your wet dreams elsewhere...

Summary: Two hours of my Life I desperately want back
Review: Okay, what are the people who gave this atrocity of a movie five stars thinking? If I could give this movie no stars or negative stars I gladly would. Which horrible flaw to start with...ah yes the terrible script. What is not cliche is schmaltzy crap not even worthy of a soap opera script. I believe I could have written a better movie at the age of seven. The entire plot was so predictable this is possibly the most unoriginal movie I have ever seen. Lifeless scenes are confusing with little to no adaquete transitions. Characters are shallow and thinnly developed. The historical innacuracies make one want to weep. A peasant would never be able to rise to knighthood and the fact that he fools everybody throughout most of the film is questionable at best. The rock music, though enjoyable, makes you question how seriously you should be taking this movie. The disco dancing was completely distracting and did not fit at all with the rest of the movie. The anachronisms were so sporadic they made the rest of the movie seem ludicrous even when it was trying to be taken seriously. That was a huge tone problem. And lastly, what the heck is up with the heroine's hair? The hairstyles are so utterly ridiculous that after a certain point laughing at them was the only entertainment in this movie. This is definitely two hours and ten minutes of my life I want back, so anyone claiming that young impressionable women like this film are disgustingly sexist.

Summary: Very fun!
Review: For those of you who can't appreciate an anachronistic tale, then this movie isn't for you. The first time I saw it, the crowd of peasant's clapping and stomping to "We will rock you" struck me as hilarious, and there are other very fine parts in the film as well, incuding throwing Chaucer in there, a move I think Chaucer himself would have highly approved of (read the Canterbury Tales and you'll probably agree).

My only beef with the movie was the love triangle that wasn't. It's sooo stereotypical for the knight to fall for the fair lady. I'd rather the fair lady have been stuck up, and William ran away with Kate (whose character is much more developed in the film), but other than that, it was thoroughly enjoyable.
