A film that effortlessly combines the genres of humor, action, romance and adventure, resulting in a nice light-hearted and entertaining film.
While it's not all that earth-shattering, it's still very entertaining. The story is nice and easy but entertaining, the humor is sometimes bland but does the romantic touch well and with a good couple of actors, success is guaranteed.
The choice of music is great, modern music in a medieval story. Also nice to hear the song 'We will rock you'.
Heath Ledger is good, as always actually is. It's a real shame he's gone.
Fortunately, his films will always exist so that we can still enjoy him now.
Ample!

“Someday, I'll be a knight.”
Swinging and light-hearted Medieval adventure. Medieval fights/games supported by modern rock music, a great romantic subplot, lots of humor, a charismatic Ledger, the beautiful Sossamon, wonderful supporting roles by Sewell, Tudyk, Addy and Fraser etc. A Knight's Tale radiates fun.
And I haven't even mentioned the wonderful Paul Bettany. peerless. There is chemistry between the cast members and I can imagine that they laughed themselves to death during the filming. In any case, I watched it all with a big smile. Wonderful entertainment.

A light snack.
Usually it is a good sign if the makers do not take a film too seriously. And especially if it also has to be somewhat of a comedy - although that genre is missing in the description. Very funny done with the soundtrack, and the jokes and pranks are also good for me. Nicely played by Heath Ledger - it's a shame he's gone, and for so long. Lots of great supporting roles too - Paul Bettany might stand out the most, but there are also Laura Fraser, Berenice Bejo and Shannyn Sossamon, and papa Christopher Cazenove.
Nicely put together and - despite the break with reality - beautifully carefully styled. And, there are already enough serious movies, I like this.
