Endless jousting tournaments transpire with lots of balsa wood jousting poles splintering across the screen. It's a classic example of a "'what-on-earth-were-they-thinking" movie...

A Knight's Tale looks and sounds pretty darned good in Blu-ray.

For all its mainstream exertions, A Knight's Tale is actually something of an experimental melding of old and new.

Slightly edgy medieval tale with rock music.

Unmotivated storyline, bad love interest situation, dull leading man, quick plot with no set-up. Lazy movie.

It's as if Helgeland didn't have enough confidence in his own material's basic appeal that he resorted to desperate pandering.

Whipping along at speed, with elaborate camera movements and rousing speeches, this knows how to engage a crowd. It's corny, of course, but a guilty pleasure: romantic, diverting, with mildly amusing modern gags.

You might find yourself smiling and laughing all the way through it.

Essentially, it's a screenful of pseudo-medieval popcorn that hits a high enough level of goofy fun to transcend a pretty blatant marketing strategy aimed at the MTV demographic.

The movie promises to rock you, and much of the time it does.

Instead of pulling young audiences imaginatively back into the past, A Knight's Tale cheapens the process by demonstrating that there's no essential difference between then and now.
