Its medieval tale offers some moments of heroism with Ledger as the town knight, but unfortunately the plot is hopelessly corny. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 17, 2025

It's tremendous, infectious fun, with a rocking soundtrack, and everyone concerned enters into the spirit of it

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 9, 2024

If all you want to do tonight is watch something funny, exciting and deeply likeable, A Knight's Tale is a vintage gem.

| Nov 11, 2022

An oddball comedy filled with surprising needle-drops.

Helgeland doesn't hide his anachronisms; he puts them right up front and demands that we grapple with them. They're not mistakes or the result of sloppy research; they're deliberate and they have a point.

Put your brain on pause, and Heath will, Heath will rock you!

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 11, 2020

Most movie-goers today want a movie in which they can believe. And A Knight's Tale manages to seem sincere, and, at the same time, embrace the anachronisms of a chivalrous tale for the new millennium.

There are worse crimes than crowd pleasing, but at least do it with some finesse.

| Mar 6, 2018

Slightly edgy medieval tale with rock music.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 21, 2010

It's as if Helgeland didn't have enough confidence in his own material's basic appeal that he resorted to desperate pandering.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 4, 2010

Endless jousting tournaments transpire with lots of balsa wood jousting poles splintering across the screen. It's a classic example of a "'what-on-earth-were-they-thinking" movie...

| Original Score: C- | Jul 18, 2009

Unmotivated storyline, bad love interest situation, dull leading man, quick plot with no set-up. Lazy movie.

| Apr 29, 2009

For all its mainstream exertions, "A Knight's Tale" is actually something of an experimental melding of old and new.

| Original Score: A- | Jul 23, 2007

A Knight's Tale looks and sounds pretty darned good in Blu-ray.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 16, 2006

Whipping along at speed, with elaborate camera movements and rousing speeches, this knows how to engage a crowd. It's corny, of course, but a guilty pleasure: romantic, diverting, with mildly amusing modern gags.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Dec 6, 2005

| Original Score: 4/4 | Sep 30, 2005

A breezy, lightweight romp perfect for a summer afternoon.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 23, 2005

...a mostly solid endeavor that probably should’ve topped out at around 105 minutes.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 1, 2003

How nice then to discover one of the most refreshing and exuberantly entertaining films of the young summer season to come in a package that, at first glance, was hardly promising.
