A pretty good movie
Posted : 13 years, 7 months ago on 26 September 2010 08:37To be honest, when I first heard about this movie, the whole concept didn’t appeal to me at all but since it was actually quite successful at the box-office, I thought I should check it out after all. Eventually, even though I wasn’t exactly a huge fan of the whole thing, I have to admit that it was pretty entertaining and I definitely had a good time watching this. Above all, I thought that Heath Ledger was very charismatic and Paul Bettany was pretty funny and, together, they made a very nice duo. Concerning the modern music in the soundtrack, it didn’t bother me but I didn’t really care for it either. In my opinion, it was a rather pointless attempt to give some edge to such a medieval story. Concerning the actors involved, it is rather sad that it didn’t turn out very well after all for any of them. Obviously, while Heath Ledger was supposed to become one of the greatest actors of his generation, he eventually tragically died 7 years later. The always charming Shannyn Sossamon, in her first part here, was hailed at the time as the next-hit girl but she disappeared very quickly and she shows up nowadays only in some really obscure movies. Finally, concerning Paul Bettany, he was another really talented actor who never really managed to fulfill the great expectations I had in him (he still managed to get married with Jennifer Connelly, arguably one of the most gorgeous women in the world). Anyway, coming back to our main feature, at the end of the day, I don’t believe it was something exceptional but it was a well done and harmless action flick and I think it is definitely worth a look.

A Knight's Tale
Posted : 17 years ago on 5 May 2007 10:23The character of Chaucer (played by Paul Bettany) is a much needed dose of comic entertainment, but really isn't needed for the story.
I have seen this movie a couple of times, and even though I am definitely NOT a fan, it is watchable if you put your brain on pause and forget all you might know about the time period.
I guess, while deciding the soundtrack for this film, someone thought it would be utterly brilliant to use songs from the recent past, but every time one of those songs starts up---and, for example, the dance scene gets completely ridiculous---, I just roll my eyes and wish whatever genius made that call....hadn't!
