PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
SnoopyStyle Jamal Walker (Martin Lawrence) is a selfish slacker medieval park employee. The owner hoped for better for Jamal and her rundown park. Now another park Castle World is opening down the road and Jamal wants to abandon ship before it sinks. He sees a brilliant medallion in the moat and he tries to get it. It pulls him into 14th-century England. Jamal meets disheveled Sir Knolte (Tom Wilkinson). He wanders into the court of the usurper King Leo when he's mistaken for a messenger from Normandy. He meets beautiful Victoria (Marsha Thomason) who is one of the king's chambermaids and the king's viscous henchman Percival (Vincent Regan) . He thinks it's Castle World until somebody gets beheaded.Martin Lawrence is not funny by himself. His idiocy needs another person to bounce off of in a buddy duo. Alone, he's just an annoying jackass. He definitely has a ton of energy but he doesn't have the script. The setting looks like a built up Medieval Times. The King has a funny line early on where Martin Lawrence keeps failing to ride the horse even after everyone has stopped laughing. Even when it is no longer funny. He never gives up on the joke. That's the central core of the movie. It's not funny, but it doesn't stop Martin Lawrence from trying over and over again.
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.
felipearoscl I think this movie is fun. Martin Larence is always funny and clever. Even if some people think is "anoying". The plot is very simplistic, but COME ON!, it isn't Matrix! Of course is never gonna be a bomb like Star Wars or Matrix, but you can have a great movie night by adding this movie to the list. Black knight plus popcorn and a nice sit and you will have a great night. end. i cannot write less than 10 lines so i will fill the next with some funny scenes of the movie. My favorite scene is hen they dance "dance to the music" he he he the royal choir cant follow the lead! is so funny, then he sings "... my horn blow sitting there on the throne ..." and the royal welcomer do the music very sweet. I never get tired of seeing this movie. I can watch it over and over again.Martin Lawrence in Bad Boy and others movies acts just like in this one hilarious and clever. BTW if you have nothing good to say about something don't say anything at all.
view_and_review "Black Knight" can be chalked up as a small blip upon the radar screen that is Martin Lawrence's career. Alright, lets be honest, it is one of many small blips that in essence make up Martin Lawrence's career. Don't get me wrong, it's not like Martin hasn't done any good stuff e.g. Bad Boys, Bad Boys II, Big Mamma's House, and his sitcom. But primarily its been just one unsuccessful movie after another. "Black Knight" wasn't particularly funny and the plot not that particularly intriguing. I did watch the movie from beginning to end like a mindless drone, even though I could find nothing of value to legitimize my watching.
