5 out of 5 stars This film is simply hilarious!!!   March 3, 2008
I love this film. My husband and I watched it quite by accident on the telly and I simply had to buy it. As an avid reader of historical novels set in this era it was comical for me to differentiate between how a modern citizen would converse on a daily basis compared to someone in the 1400 century. I could not disagree more with other reviewers who lack a sense of humour..... if you don't laugh at this then, quite frankly, you are already dead! Buy it and be prepared to laugh your socks off.

I have to totally disagree with 2 of the reviewers. This is a hilarious movie with non stop laughing! If you want to have a great laugh then get it! One of the best Martin Lawrence movie I have seen!


1 out of 5 stars Black Knight   September 28, 2005

When you're making a out and out comedy, especially one that has such a silly premise as "Black Knight" then you'd better make sure that the film is funny. And unfortunately this is the problem with "Black Knight", it's just not funny.pMartin Lawrence plays Jamal Walker, a medieval theme park worker who during his daily tasks falls into the moat surrounding the fake castle. Amazingly he is transported back to 14th century Britain and finds himself part and parcel of the everyday life of the castle there. pReally there's not any point explaining anymore about the plot, there's some bits concerning a rival theme park, an usurped Queen and a beautiful lady in waiting, but really it's the absolutely "hilarious" fact that here is a 21st century, hip and cool black man in the filth and dirt of middle age Britain. But alas, as I say, there are just no jokes that are actually funny enough to carry the plot. Lawrence does try hard, but after we've seen him "jive talk" once seeing him doing it for the 73rd time doesn't make it any funnier.pI like Martin Lawrence, it's always fresh to see him as an alternative to the major stars, and in such films as Blue Streak or Nothing to Loose he was great, but this is just awful.


4 out of 5 stars A Knight to be reckoned with   March 8, 2005
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

Having read the on-line comments, I felt I had to write and disagree with the reviewer. The only thing I did agree with, was the acting of Martin Lawrence. I found this film to be entertaining, mainly because IT IS SILLY! One man's struggle to come to terms with the fact that he'd travelled back in time was quite amusing! teaching the king's court a "futuristic" song and dance and then teaching a band of "low-life" villagers the "fighting" tactics of American football (Grid-iron) had me laughing out loud.


2 out of 5 stars A black day for all comedies   January 29, 2004
  4 out of 8 found this review helpful

'Black Knight' is a dire comedy with very few entertaining elements. The only redeeming feature is the performance of Martin Lawrence who doesn't let the fact he is in a poor film damage his acting ability. The main problem with this film is that the plot is unrealistic to the point of utter stupidity. The king, evil knight and princess are such shallow characters that you cannot even begin to relate to them or find them amusing. Add to this an incredibly dull script and very few interesting jokes and you will begin to have some idea of the quality of this film.pThe basic story is that of a man going back in time and 'saving the land' from an evil king and learning honour and righteousness while he's at it, (and of course he falls in love along the way). This tedious tale is occasionally interrupted by a moment of hilarity (far too few and far between) before retuning to the same painful disgrace. The only thing that saves this from being a one star film is Martin Lawrence who never fails to lift the overall standard of any film.pIn conclusion, to buy this film would be a crime against any other DVD in you're collection and I would strongly advise against it.
