A Knight's Tale (2001)

Yeah this is a good film...funny in parts and a good all rounder...but it was not as good as I thought it would be!
 
It sure is different that what both me & the customers that I see thought it would be!
 
"It's called a lance...hello!" - Wot

Cracks me up :D

:flash:
 
"Pain, lot's of pain!"

Top movie, loved it :). My two favourite characters being Wot and Chaucer, man I wish I could give a speach like that guy :).
 
it would be garenteed the film was a hit wot bein a comedy with action romance and a bit of sadness if any film has theis genres it must be a hit

Yeah, his character was so cool, I totally love his speeches. Love how the crowd react to him and how the others try to imitated him in the speeches. :D

Krystal :p
 
Knights Tale

Anyone seen this?

I've been so tempted to hire it out a few times - even buy it cheap - it was going for around £3.99 at the local MVC last week. But even still, I'm too much of a tightwad to risk good money uncertainly. :)

So what is the film like? Any recommendations? Or is it eyecandy and rock in superficial metal, or a decent...Knight's Tale?
 
Re: Knights Tale

Seen the movie, several times...

One of those films that you don't really need to think, whilst watching... Leave your brain, by the door, get loads of snacks/drinks, and settle down for a couple of hours!!!

It is the tale of a lowly born lad (Will) who has delusions of adequacy... He pretends to be a knight from a far off land... And wants to compete in some medieval games...

He has his two squires to help him... Meets Geoffrey Chaucer on the road (who likes to gamble and is first seen walking the road naked)... Geoffrey forges some documents for Will... And so begins his jousting and stuff... And meets a young lady... And falls in love...

There is fighting and rock music and stuff... I've enjoyed the movie the eight or ten times I've seen it... Highly recommended... Nothing historical about it...

Watch for the peasant who catches the helmet after a joust, he looks a little disappointed when he finds it's empty!!! ;)
 
Re: Knights Tale

I saw it, not expecting much as usual. I always hated the mixture of contemporary references in 'historical' films. However, in my opinion it's a fun film and one that I had no problem watching a couple of times. The sets are well designed, some of the dialogue is genuinly funny and clever and fight scenes are impressive.

There are one or two cringeworthy cliched moments thrown in for the kids or slapstick punters I suppose, but, they do nothing to disturb the flow of the movie. I happily recommended it for easy and entertaining viewing.
 
Re: Knights Tale

Thanks for those opinions. Never saw the film, but wanted to. Now I know what I could borrow to watch on rainy summer eves.;)
 
Re: Knights Tale

Fun movie. I thought that the blend of medieval action and modern music and sensibility worked very well. Chaucer was a kick. And of course, for those of us who are of the female gender, there is the Heath Ledger factor. Very good looking boy.:p
 
Re: Knights Tale

What part did Heath Ledger play???

And could anyone (Firefly fans) see a member of the Firefly crew with a really bad English accent???
 
Re: Knights Tale

Heath Ledger played the main character, William Thatcher.

I am not sure about this Firefly gang, but you could check the cast to see if there are any familiar faces: IMDb entry.

As the others said, a fun movie, but you should expect anything but good entertainment.
 
Re: Knights Tale

OH, IS THAT HEATH LEDGER!!! Somehow, when I heard someone mention the name, I didn't think he would be English... ;)
