Summary: A Great DVD of a Great Movie
Review: What more can you say about a medieval action adventure rock & roll comedy film other than it's way too fun to watch? Others have gone on about the film, I'll focus on the DVD. The transfer is exquisite and the animated menu is worth watching all by itself! The special features include the obligatory subtitles, trailers, and director overdub. Where this DVD shines is the production featurettes and the inclusion of deleted scenes. Instead of one long making-of feature (which is also included!) this disk has many short and very watchable featurettes, each one on a different aspect of the film's production. The deleted scenes are a terrific addition. Included are several more of Paul Bettany's marvelous speeches that had to be cut to tighten up the film. There is also an option to see intros to each deleted scene where the director and editor explain why the scene had to be cut. It gives you a nice inside look at how movies get changed in the final cut. All in all this is an excellent buy and destined to become one of our most watched DVD's!

Summary: It's called a lance... hello
Review: This movie had alot going for it, but it really fell short in the end. The ending with him jousting without armour and strapping the lance to his arm is just silly. The movie is modern in every sense of the word and that is it's greatest failing. As much as I like the music on it's own it fails to inspire in a story about jousting. There is an MTV mentality that prevails throughout the film. It is a big disappointment. It's strongest element is the characters as most are likeable and interesting. It tries hard to be fun and fantasy, but it's modern influences are so heavy and overdone that it is difficult to appreciate the rest. It is no Excalibure or Ivanhoe.

Summary: One major problem...
Review: I'm a big Heath Ledger fan, and his performance in this movie is above reproach. Also good are Edward and the Kate, the blacksmith. But even from the outset, the movie struck me as needing just one more rewrite.
I won't complain about the music or the anachronisms, and the role of Chaucer was clever and fun, if somewhat unusual in a teen-directed movie. I was actually quite impressed by the authentic way in which the movie resolved the difficulty for a peasant trying to compete on a level playing field, so to speak, with nobles. William's father is excellent and Edward an excellently played complex character that makes Adhemar even more one-dimensional by comparison. But honestly, how many ways are there to do a villain?
The problem lies entirely in the relationship between Ledger's William Thatcher and Shannyn Sossamon's Jocelyn. In her opening scene, Jocelyn shows potential to be an actual character, but even at her best, she is not as much fun as Kate. WARNING-STOP HERE IF YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW HOW THIS ENDS.
Every single teen I've spoken to who saw the movie expected William to realize that Jocelyn was a spoiled rich girl and go to Kate, with whom he had actual chemistry. Unfortunately, the movie took a Bond spin and stuck with the babe in the transparent shirt. This was not only unsatisfying for the audience (let's face it, one thing we've come to expect from movies is that the beautiful, shallow, nasty girl should lose the boy to the less glamorous but feistier, smarter girl), but it left Kate's character dangling. Some might say it's progress to have a strong female character who doesn't have to be a romantic interest. Probably so. But it is definitely not progress to have the guy go for the glamour and ignore the girl with personality.
Ordinarily, a movie like this would be great for an evening with your girlfriends, but the ending kept this from being the feel-good fun movie it almost was. I wouldn't see it again.

Summary: a very entertaining film
Review: Took my daughter to see this film not knowing what to expect. I thought this film was very tongue in cheek. It was funny and entertaining. I found my feet tapping at the music and the jousting scenes were excellent. The costumes and the music may not be as periodically authentic as they could be but that doesn't matter because the film is such fun to watch.As William Thatcher I thought Heath Ledger and Rufus Sewell as the baddie were both very good. I would recommend this film.

Summary: A great example of entertainment...
Review: I don't know about you, but I can take just so many "message" movies at a time (i.e. Requiem for a Dream, Contender,etc.). It's nice to once in a while just watch a movie for entertainment. A Knight's Tale is a great example of entertainment done right. Heath Ledger (after the great movie, The Patriot), holds his own, as a "wanna-be" knight. Since he has no royal blood, only the passion and determination to be a great knight, he creates a fake persona in order to enter the local knight's games. Needless to say, after several convincing wins, his popularity in the kingdom soars, and he quickly becomes a favorite, until...you'll just have to watch the movie. I did not care for Romeo + Juliet, Great Expectations, or the other "modernized" rewrites of classic literature, but as A Knight's Tale does not take itself so seriously, it was quite enjoyable. There is a lot of humor, without the crude junk that's so overused in movies today. It seemed to have an 80's (1980's :) feel to it. No heavy messages. No crude humor. No explicit sex. Just an awful lot of fun.

Summary: Great Movie!
Review: I love this movie. And Im not a chick whos obssessed with Heath Ledger or sumthin'- I really think the movie is good. There is great acting from all actors and actresses and I think Shannon Sossamon is really hot. Sorry, I just had to say that. I think this movie is hilarious, with the nike symbol on his armor, and how one minute they'll be talkin' like they're straight out of a shakespeare story, and the next they're dancing to modern music with dance steps everyone magically knows all of a sudden. I also really like the plot. I like how you can tell that William (Heath) really does love the princess (shannon sossamon, I forgot the characters name) and how at the end u think that someone (I wont say who) might be in danger of losing their lives, but happy things happen. I love the fairy tale ending, and even though this movie may not be historically accurate, its still a hoot-anda-holla. So buy it!
