I love this movie so much

You won't be disappointed!

Don't Believe the Hype

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

A Knight's Tale is a mediocre movie with a pretty poor storyline, despite an impressive and talented cast. It certainly has good moments, there are interesting jousting scenes and a great soundtrack, Heath Ledger also delivers a great performance, his characterisation is terrific, it's a pity he wasn't given a better film. The plot is very weak, it lingers on certain plot points, such as William and Jocelyn's relationship, his connection with his friends and long, boring jousting training sequences, it lacks any real depth or heart that you would want from these type of movies, a strong connection between characters. The villain is very weak, he never really feels like a bad guy, we're basically just expected to hate him because he's the lead characters competition, he's not necessarily portrayed as being unlikeable, he's just another jouster, I actually found myself feeling bad for him when the main character and his friends tease him at the end, because we are never given a reason to dislike this guy and to want to see him suffer. It certainly has some redeeming qualities, but A Knight's Tale is lacking in story and character development big time, for Ledger's sake its worth the watch, but certainly do not go out of your way to see it. A young man turns himself in to a knight and aspires to win a jousting competition. Best Performance: Heath Ledger

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.

A Knight's Tale (2001): Dir: Brian Helgeland / Cast: Heath Ledger, Rufus Sewell, Mark Addy, Paul Bettany, Shannyn Sossamon: Good natured yet light weight comedy set in the early century of knights. Title humorously refers to a knight telling a very large tale. Heath Ledger stars as a civilian who wants to be a knight but he is a nobleman, which apparently complicates things. This doesn't discourage him from training. He makes a name for himself in the tournaments but nobody knows who he is, plus there is another knight whose ambition is to expose him. He wishes to impress the Princess but first he must dispose of another knight whose ambition is, again, to expose him and use her as a trophy. Well directed by Brian Helgeland who previously made the action thriller Payback. with repetitious storytelling and an ending that has no real flair. The knights singing a song by Queen also makes no sense when thinking of the time line. Ledger makes a great impression but he is virtually going in circles in rapid repetition. Rufus Sewell is the stereotypical bully knight with the personality of an empty soup can. Mark Addy and Paul Bettany are also at a loss here playing Ledger's empty headed friends. And Shannyn Sossamon has the thankless role the woman whom Ledger is competing for, as if it matters. Fine production is at best otherwise the biggest tale is told by the screenwriter. Score: 3 / 10

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.
