A Knight's Tale: Critic Reviews

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

The movie promises to rock you, and much of the time it does.

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 MTV demographic.

You might find yourself smiling and laughing all the way through it.

The result is half Python, half Ivanhoe -- and not as much fun as either.

Slightly edgy medieval tale with rock music.

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

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 that no group of filmmakers and actors could have ever pulled off with much

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

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

A breezy, lightweight romp perfect for a summer afternoon.

...surprisingly intelligent summer fare...

It's all done with a light-hearted touch and a wicked sense of humor.

Historical accuracy is cashed in for a classic rock soundtrack and a forest of shattered lances, but the trade-off is worthwhile.

Knight's Tale does suffer from a predictable, follow-the-dots plot, but it's so well executed anyone willing to have a good time will readily buy in.

Ledger carries A Knight's Tale as far as it can go, which is an accomplishment.

Oh, to be 15 again and truly able to appreciate this movie's simplistic charm!

Overloaded with plot where it doesn't need any ... Its latter acts detract from a movie that could have stood up for itself with its funny irreverance.

a rousing Cinderella story that cannily combines boisterous comedy, blood-pumping combat scenes and a generous portion of class-crossing romance.

Corazon de Caballero no aspira al Oscar; se trata de una realizacion netamente con la marca de Hollywwod. Pero sin duda es un buen producto.

The kind of silly feel-good popcorn movie that film critics generally enjoy ripping apart, and mainstream audiences generally just enjoy.

While this risk has its pay-offs and its flaws, overall, the film is predictable and cliched, and I more than once had a feeling of deja vu.

the sort of film that junior high school students will adore... and then rent ten years from now and wonder what they were thinking.

The anachronistic music I can deal with. It was the sheer boredom that annoyed me.

Like Shrek, A Knight's Tale takes its soundtrack from pop songs of today, but, not at all like Shrek, A Knight's Tale is insulting, boring, and sad.
