Le Chevalier Black

This movie is bad, no two ways about it. I don't think I'm alone in saying Martin Lawrence is a terrible actor (although quite funny in Big Momma's House) and his sneery smile and the fact that women don't seem to be able to resist him add to the farce of the film. As for a black knight in medieval times, he'd either be made a slave, or killed-Not racist, just the truth. Also, though it seems petty, why would a fake castle in California transport anyone to a real castle in England. Dumb, dumb, very dumb, very bad.

I actually paid $4.20 to watch this movie, and the only funny things were a few cute lines and that was it. Martin Lawrence tried his best, but he's made far better movies.

And the time. This movie hardly lasted 90 minutes (which is actually a fortunate thing). Usually, movies that short have poor plots and little humor. This movie is no exception.

The idea is so silly. Jamal falls into a pond, trying to retrieve a necklace, and he appears in 14th century England? That sounds like a day dream to me. I guess it doesn't matter to Lawrence, who only wants to degrade people and show how much better he is than others.

B O M B. Wow! It is just hard to comprehend how terrible this movie really is. At the beginning when you see Martin Lawrence brushing his eyebrows with a toothbrush you know it is off to a bad start. To add to that the jokes are just horrendous. I sat stoned face until the end when you see Martin Lawrence's ugly mug pressed up to the camera. I don't know if it was the relief that the movie is over or that he is just plain ugly. Or because they were trying to set it up for an even crappier sequel.

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.

I understand that movies are shot out of sequence and that the scripted work is sometimes altered under the director's guidance. The plot required not just the suspension of disbelief, but no belief system. I considered leaving and seeing something else, and regretted staying in the theater to see this movie (for lack of a better term.) The only thing good I could say about this effort is that the lighting was good.

The ending seemed to be an omen for Black Knight 2 -- I would beg the powers that be in Hollywood that this was only my fevered imagination. It will be a sad day if something like that was forced onto innocent moviegoers.
