   Wonderful entertaiment, a clever, innovative genre-bending movie this is. Taking the viewers back in history when entertaimentst was executions, drinking and card/dice gaming as well as watching jousting tournaments and when the hot dance tunes were traveling minstrels and the big stars were Knights. So, many scenes start out with the Medieval crowd and music but then segue into the crowd chanting or dancing to modern music connecting the scenes to nowadays standard. The movie was meant to show young people today what the equivalent spectacle was to our own current times. This movie is light, funny, inspiring, educative, positive and probably not todays flavor anymore giving an impression of poetry and medieval gentilhommerie, of honor and respect. The story of a poor stable boy who dares to rise above his station maybe an old one but Heath Ledger is wonderful. And Paul Bettany as Geoffrey Chaucer steals the show. The dialogues are witty and sly, literate, moving and emotional. And the comradery of the gang of jousters is a joy to experience. I strongly advise you to watch this movie...and take your kids with you they can learn something!… Expand

   This film was a fantastic example of originality. The story was a very ingenious take on the tale from Geoffrey Chaucer, and bringing him into the story was a grand gamble. The scenes of jousting are top notch cinemetography, and the script is witty. A great comedy, well worth watching.… Expand

   I thought this would be an entertaining popcorn film but it so wasn't. I laughed at most of the scenes and the music was so not fitting. When "We Will Rock You" started playing, it wasn't that bad because it was in the soundtrack. But then the people on-screen start clapping and stomping and SINGING, it became ridiculous. Ledger still amazes me that he has a career and Rufus Sewell depresses me for being in such garbage. How he has gone from "Hamlet" to "Dark City" to this crap is beyond me. The friends of the knight are the sole entertainment in this entire film. And that is barely enough to make this film watchable.… Expand
