Reviews

MichaelMRamey Dark Knight is obviously my favourite Heath Ledger Film, but I'd easily put A Knight's Tale as my second favourite of his. It has a great cast that has tremendous on screen chemistry. It's a medieval adventure comedy that is thoroughly entertaining throughout. I was hooked into watching this film the first time I saw the scene of the crowd sing We Will Rock You at a jousting tournament way before Queen would ever come into existence. Despite this being billed as a Ledger film and being the lead actor; what really makes this film great is his supporting cast and the connection his team are able to display in only a few hours. This will be looked back on as a true classic.

veronicapalm Before reading this review, you should know that I am only slightly biased - this has been my favorite movie since I watched it for the first time, and Heath Ledger is one of my absolute favorite actors.That being said: This movie makes me laugh, it makes me cry, and it is overall a great laid-back action movie. There is some fighting, some emotion, and unfortunately some lines that could have been delivered a bit more sincerely. But it doesn't matter, because Heath Ledger delivers. He is 100% there, all the time, completely in character and brilliant. Like always. The soundtrack is cleverly enough modern, to show how people of that time felt about their music. There aren't a lot of Middle-age movies where you see the main characters dance to David Bowie and Queen! All in all, this movie will always be very special for me, and I hope I'm not mistaken when I say that this will be a future classic. If you haven't seen it, it's worth it. And if you have seen it, it's worth watching again.

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.

huntermason-90734 I love "A Knight's Tale". I have seen it 50+ times. It is about a peasant who "changes his stars" to become a knight. It is a very funny movie. The cast of the movie are perfect for their part. The movie is an action, comedy, and romantic. After the credits is a very funny clip. My favorite character is William Thatcher (Heath Ledger).I love "A Knight's Tale". I have seen it 50+ times. It is about a peasant who "changes his stars" to become a knight.
