After reading some of the other reviews, I must state that I am almost 50 years old, have gone to movies since I was 4 and go to the movies a minimum of at least once per week...and even more now that the drive-in season is on again.
Yep! Everyone is right when they say that this movie is totally whacked! It is!!! But not in a bad way. For those of you who like to clamp down on movies as not being as good as this other movie, or the characters were not real, all I got to say is you are missing out on a lot of good fun.
From the opening scene, shoot...even before that in the credits, you know that this movie is NOT going to follow the norm. Music has been used to ADD to movies for years and not all of it has initially been met with praise.
Ladyhawke, a love story about medieval lovers cursed with him being a wolf during the night and her being a hawk during the night...a wildly strange movie. The soundtrack was written and conducted by Andrew Powell but the production by Alan Parsons (The Alan Parson's Project) was a decidedly determining factor...it was a rock and roll soundtrack, ladies and Gents!! And it was, is and will always be a wonderfully wonderful movie. Streets of fire...another weird, strange and oddly addictive movie, was run through with some avant-garde music tracks and a sutle, hole laden plot and storyline but it is still one of the top cult hits out there for all to see.
Now...here comes A Knight's Tale...and the music is from the 20th and 21st centuries, the movie takes an irreverent look at...well...everything and, to tell you the truth, it is done in a fun way. If you plan to see it, take off your thinking caps and put on your party hats. Put a smile in your heart...and your mind...and just sit back and enjoy this rowsing tale of love, humor, action and fun that will join the ranks of such movies as Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Animal House, Bachelor Party, Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai, Iron Eagle, and many more movies that cannot even get in the backdoor at the academy awards, but will always be on the rental charts cause they are just darn good entertainment!!! Nuff Said!!
