Summary: Awesome
Review: Okay, so the highlights and the rock music didn't happen in medieval times. Big deal. This was a GREAT movie! Heath Ledger is a great actor, and all his costars fit the roles perfectly. If you want to have a good sit down movie with some comedy, action, and romance, this movie is a hit. It has something for everyone!

Review: Lacked the ability to keep my interest. Story was all to common. I could not even relate to the two leading characters.

Summary: Let it "rock" you
Review: I really enjoyed this movie, more than I would have imagined. The music is familiar and somehow, it works with the storyline. Who doesn't bang the table, clap their hands, and stomp their feet whenever they hear "We Will, We Will Rock You"? What a great intro to this movie!!You will meet "Jeff Chaucer" the best storyteller of the entire realm. His flamboyant introductions to Ulrich are priceless. The camaraderie and friendships these characters develop among themselves makes you want them to do well. You too will encourage Ulrich and his compatriots in their "knightly" endeavors. I highly recommend this video to anyone who wants to be taken away for a spell to the land of medieval times. It is a great deal of fun - let it "rock" you.

Summary: Jolly good fun!
Review: The younger crowd will definitely enjoy this crowd-pleasing mediaevel comedy, but don't let that turn the adults away: this one's got something for everyone. Heath Ledger plays William, a Knight's servant who decides upon his master's death to take up the lance and take his place in a jousting tournament. The success of his first attempt gives him the confidence to keep on competing under an assumed name, exasperating his two humourous friends (Mark Addy, Alan Tudyk) who are terrified because any revelation of William's humble origins will get them all executed. Soon William finds himself a top knight, competing with the evil villain in black (Rufus Sewell) and trying to win the heart of the lovely Lady Jocelyn (Shannyn Sossamon, a club DJ making a very fine acting debut). The film's best asset is its cheeky use of anachronims: crowds that sing the music of Queen, medieaval dances that blend into David Bowie, Nike symbols on the armour, and its very lively performances give it much more life than it necessarily deserves for a story so routine. Laura Fraser is exceptional as a trailblazing blacksmith, and Paul Bettany steals the show as the very humourous Geoffrey Chaucer, upon whose stories the plot is very loosely based.

Summary: Silly But Fun
Review: I knew that this movie was full of anachronisms before I saw it, but the beginning shot of a medieval audience singing "We Are the Champions" almost made me turn it off. How in the world the pages were using their trumpets to make electric guitar rifts I'll never know. But it gets better after that...really. The soundtrack of popular 70's tunes takes a little getting used to, but they work out fairly well as the lead character (Heath Ledger) trains to rise from a lowly squire to a knight. It reminds me of the old kung fu movies where the hero trains in the forest with cut-rate equipment and returns to challenge his enemies. The sets and armor aren't flashy, but they pulled out all the stops with the jousting. If anything, it's worth seeing just for that. The characters that travel with Heath Ledger are very likeable. Geoffry Chaucer, of Canterbury Tales fame, is portrayed as a gangly poet with a gambling problem that serves as the group's herald. Like all fairy tales, this one has a happy ending. The bad guy loses, the good guy overcomes his past and gets the girl. If you can take your medieval battles with a grain of salt, this one is fun and certainly worth watching.

Summary: Needed Reprieve
Review: What a nice reprieve from current events and films that we are told are "Best Picture" quality only to find that they are depressing, poorly acted, or have the same tired old Hollywood "I must be serious to be good" theme. Enjoy the music and the acting and take a nice break. I intend on buying this one for my collection.

Summary: Harmless fun!
Review: A Knight's Tale is a fun good natured medievil film with rock music ? When I first saw people in the stands stomping their feet and singing "We wil Rock You!", I was like "what the hell?" but then I realized that I was actually enjoying that. It's not every medievil film where a knight is treated more like a jock and at parties dance to David Bowie, lol. It's pretty clever and original actually even if it may seem corny to some. Plus Heath Ledger proves that he's more than ready to be a leading man. Rufas Sewell (Dark City) is excellent as Ledger's rival. Mark Addy (The Full Monty) is good as his loyal friend as well. A Knight's Tale isn't a great film but it is an entertaining one that just might put a smile on your face if you don't take it too serious that is.

Summary: A lot of Fun!
Review: I saw this movie in the theater the first day it came out, and I was very pleasantly surprised with it! I honestly didn't think the movie would turn out to be as entertaining as it is. The sets and period costumes are wonderful, and they let you imagine what it would have been like to actually be there. Heath Ledger gives a strong performance, equally adept at comedy as he is at drama. Some of the best performances in the movie are from the actors who play his friends. Mark Addy is absolutely perfect as Geoffrey Chaucer, and his character is especially fun if you know his history before you see the movie. There's great chemistry between Ledger and his friends, but one of the film's problems is a bit of an occasional lack of chemistry between Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon, who gives an otherwise good, funny performance as Jocelyn. This has already become one of my favorite movies on DVD, but for most people, it's going to be a love-it-or-hate-it movie.

Summary: He WILL Rock You!
Review: When the movie came out, some friends and I went to see it as a spoof, thinking it would fit great eye-candy, but little plot... we were very wrong. Not about the eye-candy, but the movie is a laugh a minut riot that will keep you thuroughly entertained with enough romance for the ladies, and enough jousting for the men. With this equal balance of feminism and masculanism it is sure to be a joy with anyone.

Summary: Maximum overdrive in medieval times!!
Review: From beginning to end this movie combines knights in shining armor that are dueling in the jousting ring with classic rock and roll. This wasn't a movie that will get confused with history and I seriously doubt that the director tried to make it that way. It's a new twist on an old tale that comes out in the end with a great plot. I really enjoyed this one.
