Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Protraph Lack of good storyline.
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Gatto Nero A very "forced" comedy.The only saving grace is a very capable group of actors playing their roles rather well.Martin just seemed out of place but then again that was what the whole movie is about!The beautiful Marsha Thomason as Victoria the Chambermaid was great casting as was Tom Wilkinson as Sir Knolte of Marlborough, Vincent Regan as Percival, Leo's Chief Henchman and Kevin Conway as King Leo.All in all, a very stupid comedy about time-travel that's not ever explained but still the Martin "charm" comes through as always. He can be annoying at times but on the flip-side he can be on-target-funny sometimes. Regardless, I'm glad I got to see it for the very 1st time. It took me 12 years but hey, I'm catching up little by little.
Chrysanthepop I'm a little surprised at the harshness towards this movie especially considering that there are far worse films that have received far more appreciation. It's a movie titled 'Black Knight' and it stars Martin Lawrence so what was people expecting other than silly fun and some entertainment? Not surprisingly there are plot holes, historical inaccuracies and the dramatic moments are overly melodramatic (twhich was annoying) and the story is obviously far-fetched but for me the humour worked and 'Black Knight' has plenty of it. Admittedly Martin Lawrence can go over the top to the point of being very annoying but here I found him to be quite entertaining. Tom Wilkinson isn't given much to do but he does get his opportunity to make the viewer laugh. I particularly found him in his introductory scene. Luminous Marsha Thomason is very cute. I'm not saying that 'Black Knight' is among the best time-travelling comedies. It's certainly nowhere near classics like 'Back to the Future' or 'Les Visteurs' and it could have been way better where writing is concerned but 'Black Knight', as daft as it is, made me laugh many times which is why I don't mind it.
msghana I went from hopeful to bored then straight to exhausted and annoyed in less than 30 minutes. The story is as unoriginal as they come. Even so, a scrap of humour could have saved this train wreck, but Martin Lawrence seemed to have shown up without reading the script, did it all flatly in one take and collected his money. The 'writing' was atrocious and non-sensical and the jokes were older than Moses. I was almost too embarrassed to write a review because it would be evidence that I had the poor judgement to watch this worthless crap in the first place. In my defense, I was taken on a date to see this (though I was mildly supportive of the movie choice at the time), and promptly dumped him afterwards. Awful!
Gunnar_Runar_Ingibjargarson In Black Knight, Martin Lawrence plays an amusement park employee who is magically transported back to medieval times and helps return a queen to her rightful throne (while learning some valuable lessons along the way). Despite the script's lack of logic and originality, Lawrence is an engaging performer, with a loose-limbed amiability that makes him most enjoyable company, even if he's not necessarily a better actor than most comedians. If Lawrence ever does a movie with a decent script, he might really have something; as it is we'll have to settle right now for the cheesy yet funny sight of Lawrence teaching a medieval band to play some Sly and Family Stone.
