Le Chevalier Black

There are movies that are absolutely stupid, and yet incredibly funny; Animal House and Caddyshack come to mind. Black Knight is absolutely stupid and incredibly UNfunny. Along with black holes, quarks, and the meaning of life, the greatest mystery of the universe is why Martin Lawrence has a career: The guy is not only not funny, but manages to be truly pitiable -- shucking and jiving like an nineteenth century minstrel. I'm surprised the NAACP doesn't protest his performances, or this movie for that matter.

It's hard to find a redeeming virtue in this movie -- the script seems to have been lost by all indications, the "acting", even using the word in quotation marks gives too much credit, is lousy; and the sets look like they were worked up in a high school basement for a student production.

I'm not sure what audience the makers were going for; Martin Lawrence is often marketed to black audiences, but in this movie he and the love interest are the only blacks in the movie. Of course all the whites are depicted as complete idiots, but Lawrence out-idiots them all.

Another example of Hollywood's contempt for the movie going public. They think they can trowel out any sort of bilge and make money. Let's hope they wake up soon, and if they're going to give us silly movies, make them funny.

This is overall a good movie. If you like Martin lawrence you will like this movie. Maybe it was ahead of its time?

I watched this movie as a kid and loved it. Still love it as a 30 year old. The premise is silly, so expect a silly movie. That's what trailers are for.

C comedy movie about A dude from the 2000's who goes back in time to midevil times.... you get what you watch.

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.

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.

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.
