A Knight's Tale Audience Reviews

Bardlerx Strictly average movie
Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.
Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
ravan1 In reference to all the other reviews, yes this is pretty inaccurate, yes the music selection should not make sense, yes the plot is so formula and predictable it sounds like it was called in, that you should hate it...and yet I think it is a great film. It is fiction so it does not need to be accurate although there is some historical basis. As far as the music if you read the director comments he chose the music to give the same feeling of music that the people of that time felt for their music. And as far as the plot just because they use a formula that is predictable this film is a example being able to do it well. Even though the main message is to be true to yourself with honor and don't limit yourself ( I know how sappy that sounds) it is still nice to see it done with some style. So if you give this movie a chance I hope you like it as much as I did even though I shouldn't.
kz917-1 A Knight's Tale features Heath Ledger as a young man trying to change his stars. When the knight he is a squire for literally drops dead, he stands in for him at a tournament. The ball only rolls faster from there. Heath and his merry men become famous at excelling at tournaments, hopefully they won't be infamous!Laughter, great music and much fun all contained in this movie!
Kirpianuscus if you looking for historical accuracy, for solid Medieval drama, for dramatic scenes and for old fashion historical movies, this is the worst choice. if you like an eccentric cocktail of modern music and Medieval pretext, easy story and Heath Lodger in a good role, this is a must see. because it is real seductive against it. predictable but nice. hilarious , unrealistic and chaotic. a sort of teenager game. but great in a way who has not exactly definition. because it is the sort of film for fun who could be reasonable kick to discover the truth about a period who, in this film, remains only a generous sketch.
Laynarrr This is one of my favorite movies. Everything about this movie is fantastic. The plot, although a bit childish and cheesy at times, is interesting and fun, with a nice sense of unobtrusive humor. All characters are great, especially Ulrich's team. They must be the best team ever on a screen. The ending, although expected, is beautiful and refreshing. The selection of actors is amazing - never enough mourned Heath Legder, one of the most beautiful actresses Shannyn Sossamon, charming and special Paul Bettany, always nice to watch Rufus Sewell, adorable and fun Alan Tudyk and my personal eye-candy James Purefoy. I mostly loved how the plot, yet simple and familiar, is enriched with some original details, such as reference to The Canterbury Tales and mixing some modern stuff. I especially loved the part when they dance to David Bowie song :) and Jocelyn's styling. Anyway, this movie is original, fun and refreshing to watch. I recommend it to everybody full heartedly.
