Product Details of A Knight's Tale [Blu-ray]

Description

In the Middle Ages, before television or professional sports, there is only one form of competition to separate the men from the boys: jousting tournaments. William Thatcher (Heath Ledger), a poor and humble squire, has always dreamed of proving himself worthy as a knight. When he gets a lucky chance--seeing an opportunity to disguise himself in the identity of a knight--William decides to maintain the illusion for as long as possible. He is aided by his friends Wat, Roland, and Geoffrey Chaucer--a writer with a knack for forging official papers. Under his new title, Sir Ulrich of Liechtenstein, William wins tournaments and receives monetary awards. However, the only way for William to prove himself as truly noble is to beat out all of his enemies, including the arrogant and undefeated Count Adhemar (Rufus Sewell), in a series of jousts. Once he does so, William will reveal his his true identity. Writer-director Brian Helgeland creates a unique blend of rousing adventure, comedy, and modern sensibility in A KNIGHT'S TALE, giving a contemporary make-over to the medieval genre with a soundtrack that includes hit songs from Queen, David Bowie, Sly & The Family Stone, and Thin Lizzy.

A Knight's Tale [Blu-ray]

Nothing awe-inspiring here. Just an average movie with average plt and acting.

A Knight's Tale [Blu-ray]

Another good movie. I can't remember it very well, because it's been a while since I've seen it, but I do remember liking it.

A Knight's Tale [Blu-ray]

An entertaining story. Overall it isn't very impressive and there are several aspects to the movie that make it less enjoyable than it could have been. One advantage is the cast. I like many of the young actors in the cast. They did not perform well but the story didn't give them much to go on. A very standard story and a very average movie but has some entertainment value.

Only mildly amusing. Overall, the film was senseless and boring.

A Knight's Tale [Blu-ray]

Simple minded movie, made by simpletons. The portrayal of Chaucer is particularly ludicrous.

A Knight's Tale [Blu-ray]

Didn't like it for the same reason I didn't like Moulin Rouge. Don't mix modern with history, it comes across as ridiculous.

A Knight's Tale

Once you get past the anachronism, A Knight's Tale becomes a predictable, if spirited, Rocky on horseback.
