Reviews of A Knight's Tale 2001

This movie is silly as hell. I always just knew this as either "Heat Legend's best role" or "my mom's favorite movie". Needless to say my expectations were low, but honestly this movie was kind of fun in it's own way. Near the beginning when Queen's "We Will Rock You" starts playing and all the peasants are singing along, a thought kept running through my head saying "what the fuck is going on" but I'm not ashamed to admit I…

I had never actually seen this movie before in full. I know lots of people loved it when I was a kid but I just didnt see the interest. After finally sitting down to watch it I see why everyone likes it. Its fairly simple and sometimes silly but its an enjoyable movie with plenty of laughs :)

The Medieval era has rarely seemed so much fun as it does in A Knights Tale, the picture that really put the late Heath Ledger on the map and you can easily understand why became such a popular favourite. It's blend of bawdy yet sweet comedy, derring do, chivalry, romance and an eclectic modern-day classic rock soundtrack, there's just something a bit timeless about Brian Helgeland's movie. It doesn't always hit all its marks but in plenty of ways it's…

Sunday afternoon lethargy has scuppered the will to find the remote.

It was Heath Ledger’s trial to see if he could handle a staring role. None of the other cast members were huge actors although some were slightly known. Another major factor to the success of the movie was whether or not people would enjoy…

7.5/10
What a joyful, simple and delightful movie this is. Featuring a cool soundtrack, decent performances and a smart screenplay, A Knight's Tale is a rare occurrence in contemporary cinema: an adventure comedy that is actually funny.
Heath Ledger was an extremely talented actor whose ability for comedies wasn't fully exploited during his lifetime, but his role in this film was a hint that eventually he could have become a great comedy actor, but since he passed away so young we'll never know.

The worst thing about this movie is that there is no action. When there is fighting, it is so short that you'd think it was on fast forward. Also, at six in the morning, when you have seen films all night, it is a good hour to long.
