A Knight's Tale Reviews
There are worse crimes than crowd pleasing, but at least do it with some finesse.

Slightly edgy medieval tale with rock music.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 21, 2010
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.

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.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 19, 2003
Minor grievances aside, this warped medieval yarn glides by on a funny, friendly, goofy sort of goodness.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 10, 2003
The kind of silly feel-good popcorn movie that film critics generally enjoy ripping apart, and mainstream audiences generally just enjoy.
| Original Score: B- | May 9, 2002
It's an enjoyable romp and Heath Ledger is a likeably vulnerable hero and Mark Addy a good-natured realistic foil.

The approach may be highly original, just as the ingredients are familiar but Helgeland has fashioned a delicious new recipe from them.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 4, 2001
Instead of pulling young audiences imaginatively back into the past, A Knight's Tale cheapens the process by demonstrating that there's no essential difference between then and now.

The movie promises to rock you, and much of the time it does.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 11, 2001
The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe -- and not as much fun as either.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 4, 2001
You might find yourself smiling and laughing all the way through it.

Essentially, it's a screenful of pseudo-medieval popcorn that hits a high enough level of goofy fun to transcend a pretty blatant marketing strategy aimed at the M온라인카지노추천 demographic.

May please aficionados of oldies stations and Xtreme sports but few others.

Basically a thrift-store bin of borrowed ideas and careworn teen cliches, A Knight's Tale executes one of the most drastic wastes of promise this side of a gifted high school slackoff.

A meandering story packed with corny moments, mostly dull acting and a star who, hype aside, shares only an accent with fellow Australian Russell Crowe.

More often than not, it's fun.
| Original Score: 3/4 | May 11, 2001
It will rock you -- straight to sleep.
| May 11, 2001
Shamelessly manipulative.
