A Knight's Tale Ratings & Reviews
- JandTMedia22 maart 2026Funny, moving, romantic, AND somewhat historically educational? What more could you want?
- ayayron6 april 2025Ulrich von Leichtenstein, from Gelderland, and his faithful squires joust to Queen
- ርልዪረ11 februari 2025This typical story of a poor man's rise to glory and riches resembles the classic "Ivanhoe"... in absolutely no way at all. There's chivalry and love, to be sure, but you don't have to wait long to see that this is a modern adaption of the middle ages rather than a realistic depiction of a 1300s love story. Modern rock music is sewn flawlessly into the film, and the jousting arena with its spectators resembles a hockey stadium more than a medieval competition stadium. This is of course problematic. Whenever a modern connection appears, you find yourself thinking how inappropriate this is. The problem is easily solved, however. The film simply doesn't take itself seriously - it doesn't even attempt to make this a realistic depiction of the Middle Ages. It's a film about the American dream: "Rocky", set in the world of jousting. You find the foreign elements and anachronisms to be not an irritation, but rather... well, funny. Seeing "A Knight's Tale" from a modern perspective with medieval elements yields an amusing experience - a movie you can watch again and again without ever getting bored. The acting is brilliant. Ledger, Bettany, Tudyk and Addy portray their characters with style and verve, not so much making you live yourself into the medieval world as much as making you identify yourself with the different characters. The hero, the bad guy, the love and the loyalty - all is done in a manner most convincing. Even the side cast plays amazingly. They'll make you laugh, cry and cheer... and then sing: "We will... we will rock you!"
- CblCttr5 maart 2026It's a good one. Watch it. Miss you heath.
- gedeyenite20 januari 2026Fun, but mostly silly. A good set of actors wasted on a please-the-masses project.

- keithy07716 november 2025Joker and Jarvis the prequel.
- pipanni17 september 2025The armor and weapons are shiny Chinese plastic. One of the first scenes in this movie has our hero arriving at a tournament while the crowd loudly sings "We are the champions" by Queen. Yep. That's when I pressed stop. Definitely not a movie for me.
- barryl3617 augustus 2025This is entertainment, not art. I frequently watch this movie.
- Julian Jankowski24 juli 2025Fantastic
- mickerdoo8 juli 2025A movie that knows it's cool but doesn't stop it from being so. All cast is top marks. Love the genre and time blending.
- GBWest16 januari 2025It is impossible to accurately rate this film. There is heart, soul, art and style within this story of one who was able to change his stars. Every time I see this film it fills me with warmth and a love for this timeless classic.
