A Knight's Tale was a lot of fun to watch; you have nice jousting scenes that will make you cheer along with the crowd with a funny dialogue set in the old times with a mix of modern songs....

all the cast were ok; Paul Bettany was disgustingly good but i think Heath Ledger was a little bit dull playing his role in this film. all in all it's a nice movie to watch if you were in a good mood.

this movie was highly recommended by my friend, she even rented it for me on my birthday when it first came out on dvd so i watched it thinking it's gonna be extremely enjoyable with lots of street dancing but it wasn't that great of a movie; still it's fun to watch and enjoy but it's forgettable after a day or so (i really can't remember much about it now! )

Why in every dancing movie they have to bring you a person who's very special to the protagonist dying in order for him/her to go back dancing again ?!! i've seen the same idea used in Step Up and Save the Last Dance ....and many other films.

i watched this just by reading it's tagline "Sometimes the greatest journey is the distance between two people " and of course because it had Edward Norton in a role unlike the rest of his other movies ... it is definitely one of my top favorites , it has a great storyline and romance with a sad ending .
even in the scenes that was filled with silence between the couple you could feel the emotion and make up a whole dialogue in your head just by their face expressions...
it's a very underrated movie that should be appreciated by more people

my fav quote is ...
" - Kitty : For God's sake, Walter, will you stop punishing me? Do you absolutely despise me?
- Walter : No. I despise myself.
- Kitty : Why?
- Walter : For allowing myself to love you once. "

when i was a child i used to love buying the big magic kits , you know the ones they sell in Toys R Us for 30 bucks and at home you try and try to do the tricks but you can't because you don't have the smooth hand of a magician well i've always been fond of magic and the shows that come on tv , and then The Prestige and The Illusionist came out the same year so 2006 was one of my happiest years ... " - Alfred Borden : Are you watching closely? " well apparently i wasn't watching closely , for the twist in the end shocked me and made me realize how blind i was , i should have figured it out ..... but what an incredible and captivating film is this ?! Christopher Nolan set a very great gothic mysterious dark environment to suit with the plot of the movie with a great cast who played their roles perfectly i've watched it so many times and i always love it even more than the first time ...
