The plot for BLACK KNIGHT isn't all that different to a plot to a soft core * film I once saw that starred Gabrielle Hall . Jamal Walker works in a theme park called Medievel World and by the power of magic finds himself back in not so merry olde England There's two things I wish to point out and that is the synopsis that mentions Jamal is knocked unconscious and finds himself in the 14th century is entirely misleading . Secondly any review that claims that this movie is is slightly better than being force fed ones excrement is also misleading Some people have mentioned that the major failing with this movie is that Martin Lawrence is playing an over blown version of himself . Hmmm and I guess if they cast Morgan Freeman as Jamal this would have been a multiple Oscar winner ? It's true that if you don't like Lawrence's brand of comedy you won't like this but is there anything good you can say about the movie ? The script has several credited screenwriters which is often the sign of a bad movie especially in comedy since the jokes here never ever work . One such scene is where Jamal gets a a bunch of medieval minstrels to play some funky Motown beats . It's a " joke " you can see coming a mile away and one that lacks credibility because instruments in those days wouldn't be able to sound like guitars or bass etc " But Theo you're missing the point , it's a comedy " No I'm not missing the point at all . For comedy to work there must be a type of internal logic and credibility . For example cast your mind back to BACK TO THE FUTURE where Marty plays rock and roll on his guitar and his audience are shocked because this brand of music is too radical for them and goes beyond their understanding of music . In this movie the King's court get with the program . Is it credible ? I'll tell you what it's not - it's not amusing There is another aspect to the screenplay which outlives its usefulness and that is the early stages of the film where Jamal is transported through time and space . Obviously we know that Jamal is really in 14th century England but he doesn't and that's where much of the alleged comedy arises from . But Jamal spends something like 20 minutes of the running time naively thinking he's in another 21st century theme park and the joke is stretched out for a ridiculously long length where it stops being funny , that's if it was funny in the first place Badly cast , badly written , badly made . Unless you think the phrase " Yo dawg " is the funniest thing you've ever heard stick to A KNIGHT'S TALE

Martin Lawrence is not funny. He wasn't funny on TV and has not been funny in any movie yet (except for the occasional laugh when he was playing Mama, not as a male character). This movie is a pure piece of trash. I was taken to see this movie (no way would I fork out a penny of my money to see any piece of work as ridiculous as this). It was a weak, at best, rip-off of the Bing crosby movie "Connecticut Yankee in King arthur's court", but with out the charm of a leading actor with any screen presence. If I could I would rate this with a negaitve number but I guess a "ZERO out of 10" is the least acceptable number. This film just plain stinks.

Martin Lawrence didnt do that bad of a job on fliming this movie, it was just the idea and concept of the movie itself, it was predictable, very very un funny, and just stupid, no one thats innocent should have to sit through that movie.

Finally got around to seeing this one on D-TV. I believe most know the plot: man from South-Central LA is teleported to the days of Knights and becomes involved in a rebellion to oust the evil King and restore the good Queen. In general, it was disappointing because the screenplay did not allow Martin Lawrence to be as funny as he normally is. It seemed forced and weighted down. Unlike other Lawrence films (i.e. Bad Boys, Blue Streak, Big Mama's House) we were not able to see the Martin that we all know and love (or hate). Instead of the impulsive, quick-witted Martin we expect, what we actually saw was Martin that struggled with a poor, predictable script that runs out of fuel in the first twenty minutes and leaves Martin to try to make something out of the remaining hour. As funny as he can be, he is no miracle worker. All in all I give it a mediocre to low rating. The worst thing is that when I see that Martin Lawrence is going to be in a film I expect certain level of funniness from him. I was disappointed. I feel gypped out of one hour-twenty-minutes of my Saturday.

Sure, the whole idea behind the premise of the film--transporting a black man from the present to England during medieval times---sounds great on paper, with guaranteed laughs throughout...right? Wrong! This film did not elicit a single laugh--not even a chuckle--from me. What a waste of celluloid. Just watch this nincompoop, Martin Lawrence, embarrass himself throughout the film with a one-note expression on his face--i.e., the look of sardonic, bewilderment--and acting that's meant to be comical, but looks...well, forced and desperate. Probably one of the worst films I've seen in recent memory.

This film isn't fantastic, but it is far from dismal as many people here have made it out to be. Sure, the premise of the movie is silly, but most of these types of comedy movies are. The film is entertaining and Martin Lawrence shows his comedic talent again. If you think this film deserves one or two stars, you probably haven't seen enough movies. For a true 1-star film, go see "Going Overboard" with Adam Sandler---I bet you won't be able to watch it until the end. Black Knight is a pretty good film and I recommend you see it if you get the chance.

All I can say is that after 30 minutes I fell asleep out of complete boredom while watching this movie. It isn't funny, it has got no plot, and the concept has been used many times before, and better. The only positive thing about it is that one appreciates a good film even more after watching this one.
