Chaucer

A Knights Fail

Brian Helgelands "A Knights Tale" shows a young mans (Heath Ledger) journey pretending to become a knight. The movie throws the audience off right off the bat with the lower class citizens doing the Queen "We will rock you" theme doesn't go with the time or the movie. Predictable like almost every movie, but it does keep those lacking knowledge entertained. Still a good story but needs a lot of fixing.

Stephanie Zacharek, in her review for "A Knights Tale" shows so many of the weaknesses. "The music is puzzling and ill-fitting" It can puzzle the viewers by watching the spectators of the tournaments going along with 70's rock. And how they dance to "Golden Years" during the ceremony. "Meanwhile, there are lots of jousting sequences, each one indistinguishable from the last." Zacharek explains that they don't use different ways of breaking the lance and different ways to win. They should have put more effort to help make the scenes unique each time.

Stax review from Flixburg USA showed a better side but they must not have watched it. But he does realize that they didn't use proper English and dialogue. "Which can be said of any film that doesn't include dialogue in middle-English" It should use at least proper English accent because people nowadays wouldn't understand their dialogue. "Sports movies, in general, have a big problem with being too predictable" He does show the fact that you know he will kick the bad guys butt at the end, and that the guy will get the girl, switch it up Helgeland.

This movie is a watch able movie but once you have watched it you see all the mistakes that have been made. It uses history so wrong that it shouldn't have been filmed cannot

stay with the time period. It is still a good story but like we
