Slightly edgy medieval tale with rock music.

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...

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

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

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

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.

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.

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