    Martin Lawrence shows us that only through understanding will we defeat evil in all its incarnations. What a load of bollocks! Crap film, avoid at all costs.

    3 of 5 stars for the comedy movie Black Knight. A worker (Martin Lawrence) in a medieval theme park finds himself transported back in time to the 1300's (Middle Ages) after getting a bump on his head. Finding himself between several factions and even a plot to overthrow the king,...( read more) our hero "Skywalker" even has a beautiful maiden to rescue.

    Well photographed, well written and pretty funny at times, this movie is easy on your brain and entertaining. Lawrence is good and fun to watch. Yes, this is a good movie and worth watching.

Tedious and predictable. full review

Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

It's a bad sign when a movie begins with an extended close-up sequence of its star plucking a nostril hair. full review

Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

This is Lawrence's show, his chance to demonstrate his comic nimbleness and appeal. He runs with it. full review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Lo, after much exertion, the quest for laughs by Sir Mugs-a-lot ends up where it started -- in a soggy ditch. full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Has about as much swagger as its bland and basic title. full review
