A Knight's Tale
by L. Terbest
Great movie! My sixteen yr old loves this movie and had to have it. This type of movie enlightens a young to believe a dream can come true. 16yr Granddaughter loved the adventure, loves the actor, the romance and comedy.

A lighthearted romp through the middle ages
by Nathan Andersen (Florida)
I didn't have much interest in this when it first arrived in theaters. Back then Heath Ledger was, to my mind, just another young handsome face and this seemed like a sappy star vehicle designed to further his career. Of course, he turned out to be much more than a handsome face and if I'd bothered to see this film I would have known it then. Not only does he give a charismatic and compelling early performance, the film itself is a lot of fun: a very clever and entertaining update of the old knight in shining armor swashbuckling saga, that turns it into a comical version of the classic sports success story, such as Rocky or The Karate Kid.
Heath's not the only one that makes this worth seeing; Rufus Sewell is the villian you love to hate, and Paul Bettany (as Chaucer, whose story of the same name in The Canterbury Tales this is loosely based on) and Alan Tudyk as a comic and loyal sidekick, are fun to watch and give engaging performances. Very entertaining and well worth watching. The musical score, drawing on classic rock icons like David Bowie and Quiet Riot, somehow works, making it all feel less like a period piece and more like an entertaining adventure. Lots of fun. I like.

Heath Ledger was, indeed, a Knight
by Medusa (Troy, MI)
As always, Ledger shines. He plays the role of William Thatcher; a peasant who earns the title of a Knight. Subtlety disguised amidst all the semi funny movie scenes, is a message of love, friendship and loyalty. Today, as rarely as these values are displayed, it is satisfyingly refreshing to at least dream of them.
In one of the final scenes, Thatcher says: "My pride is the only thing that they can't take from me", which most of us can relate to. It turns out that he has true, loyal friends, and true love, which is an anachronism in today's world, but why not dream?
The promise of this movie infused with Ledger's passion and charisma, will plant in your mind beautiful dreams that you will forever cherish.
5/5
I AGREED to watch this movie...
by CincoDeMayoMandy - Amanda K. Hall (Austin Hook 'em Horns, TX)
Was in the back seat with my friend's son who had just watched it before they picked me up for the long drive to the Texas Renaissance Festival. He asked if I wanted to watch it and I reluctantly agreed to. He handed me a pair of headsets and the movie began. I don't remember a movie drawing me in so quickly! I was instantly in love. They had me at the AC/DC "We Will Stomp You", song.
Definitely one of my top 5 favorite movies.

There's no rule against rock anthems from the 1970s in the soundtrack for a movie about a medieval jousting champion, but if you're going to attempt such jarring anachronisms, you'd better establish acceptable ground rules. Writer-director Brian Helgeland does precisely that in
A Knight's Tale
and pulls off this trick with such giddy aplomb that you can't help but play along. (Upon witnessing a crowd of peasants at a jousting match, singing and clapping to the beat of Queen's "We Will Rock You," you're either going to love this movie or dismiss it altogether.) Other vintage rock hits will follow, but Helgeland--the Oscar®-winning cowriter of
L.A. Confidential
--handles this ploy with judicious goodwill, in what is an otherwise honest period piece about a peasant named William (Heath Ledger) who rises by grit and determination to the hallowed status of knighthood.
As if the soundtrack weren't audacious enough, Helgeland (recovering from the sour experience of his directorial debut,
Payback
) casts none other than Geoffrey Chaucer (wonderfully played by Paul Bettany) as William's cohort and match announcer, along with William's pals Roland (Mark Addy) and Wat (Alan Tudyk), and feisty blacksmith Kate (Laura Fraser). Of course there must be a fair maiden, and she is Jocelyn (newcomer Shannyn Sossamon), with whom William falls in love while battling the nefarious Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell) on the European jousting circuit. Add to this an inspiring father-son reunion, Ledger's undeniable charisma, a perfect supporting cast, and enough joyful energy to rejuvenate the film's formulaic plot, and
A Knight's Tale
becomes that most pleasant of movie surprises--an unlikely winner that rises up, like its hero, to exceed all expectations.
