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.
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.

carbuff First off, this medieval romp is not meant to be either a serious story or history, instead it's just basically a throwback to safe old-time wholesome entertainment, which isn't a bad thing now and again. While it is hardly original, the mix of modern language and pop/rock songs set in the "wrong" time period was different and fun and worked well with the story. The story, however, could have used a bit of editing, since two plus hours was a bit more than necessary to tell this story.All-in-all, only a lightweight, predictable and essentially conventional film, but still a reasonable way to kill some time, especially if you have to entertain both children and adults.
