Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!

BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

MichaelMRamey Dark Knight is obviously my favourite Heath Ledger Film, but I'd easily put A Knight's Tale as my second favourite of his. It has a great cast that has tremendous on screen chemistry. It's a medieval adventure comedy that is thoroughly entertaining throughout. I was hooked into watching this film the first time I saw the scene of the crowd sing We Will Rock You at a jousting tournament way before Queen would ever come into existence. Despite this being billed as a Ledger film and being the lead actor; what really makes this film great is his supporting cast and the connection his team are able to display in only a few hours. This will be looked back on as a true classic.

bheadher You certainly won't find historical accuracy in this movie, but surprisingly, it depicts a larger amount of accuracy than was intended...This portrayal presents the class structure of medieval England in a totally entertaining way, actually making fun of what was likely a hard and drab existence for the lower classes...a rather ingenious addition is the insertion of modern music and antics, woven within the story line. Most of you will come away with a smile, if not laughing out loud...really, the script and irreverent antics of the principal characters is just that perfect for a fun time...So, leave the critical side of you behind, and just enjoy...

Python Hyena A Knight's Tale (2001): Dir: Brian Helgeland / Cast: Heath Ledger, Rufus Sewell, Mark Addy, Paul Bettany, Shannyn Sossamon: Good natured yet light weight comedy set in the early century of knights. Title humorously refers to a knight telling a very large tale. Heath Ledger stars as a civilian who wants to be a knight but he is a nobleman, which apparently complicates things. This doesn't discourage him from training. He makes a name for himself in the tournaments but nobody knows who he is, plus there is another knight whose ambition is to expose him. He wishes to impress the Princess but first he must dispose of another knight whose ambition is, again, to expose him and use her as a trophy. Well directed by Brian Helgeland who previously made the action thriller Payback. with repetitious storytelling and an ending that has no real flair. The knights singing a song by Queen also makes no sense when thinking of the time line. Ledger makes a great impression but he is virtually going in circles in rapid repetition. Rufus Sewell is the stereotypical bully knight with the personality of an empty soup can. Mark Addy and Paul Bettany are also at a loss here playing Ledger's empty headed friends. And Shannyn Sossamon has the thankless role the woman whom Ledger is competing for, as if it matters. Fine production is at best otherwise the biggest tale is told by the screenwriter. Score: 3 / 10

carbuff First off, this medieval romp is not meant to be either a serious story or history, instead it's just basically a throwback to safe old-time wholesome entertainment, which isn't a bad thing now and again. While it is hardly original, the mix of modern language and pop/rock songs set in the "wrong" time period was different and fun and worked well with the story. The story, however, could have used a bit of editing, since two plus hours was a bit more than necessary to tell this story.All-in-all, only a lightweight, predictable and essentially conventional film, but still a reasonable way to kill some time, especially if you have to entertain both children and adults.
