Movie Title: A Knight’s Tale A Knight’s Tale is available for streaming or downloading. |
If you’re a fan of Brian Helgeland, Paul Bettany (Chaucer), or unprejudiced commentary tracks in general, don’t rob the extended edition. The regular DVD has every feature the “extended” edition does - it unbiased doesn’t insert the deleted scenes into the movie. They’re included as bonus features. This extended edition does not include the hilarious and insightful commentary track by Helgeland and Bettany, which is really the best thing about the DVD. You catch more features for less money by buying the regular DVD release.
Apparently audiences couldn’t quite figure out A Knight’s Chronicle when it had its theatrical release last year. This was in all likelihood due to the combination of rock music in used times clashing with our knowledge of history and our aesthetic sensibilities. However, having both seen this at the cinema and owning it on DVD, I would like to hope that this movie will be given a second chance to come by current viewers as it really is a noble film and stout fun!
Heath Ledger (The Patriot) displaying colossal charm and a winning smile throughout, plays William Thatcher, squire to a washed up champion jouster, who dies during a competition, leaving William to masquerade as his master in order to glean their winnings. Aided by his initially less than enthusiatic pals Roland (Imprint Addy from Chubby Monty) and Wat (Alan Tudyk, 28 Days) William fakes nobility to illegally enter competitions. On their travels they encounter a naked wanderer, the future famous author, Geoffrey Chaucer (Paul Bettany) who joins their `crusade’ and helps to forge William’s ancestral lineage, so that he can capture portion in the noblemen only games. Whilst competing (according to my wife who seems to like every Australian film star) the very pleasing William catches the discover of a lady, Jocelyn (the very comely Shannyn Sossamon), and sets out to obtain her heart. However, standing between William and his two goals of winning the World Championships and winning the hand of Lady Jocelyn stands the dastardly Count Adhemar (brilliantly played by Rufus Sewell, Murky City) .
This is a surprising change of direction for writer/Director Brian Helgelend (LA Confidential) . This movie is substantial fun and the mixture of rock music (they hiss, clap and effect Queen’s We Will Rock You before each joust) and medieval times works surprisingly well, adding to the excitement and atmosphere of each competition. Both Heath Ledger and Shannyn Sossamon shine in their lead roles and portion pleasant on-screen sexual chemistry. However, it is Paul Bettany who steals most scenes as the occasionally naked, always in grief, lyrical Geoffrey Chaucer. Also peep out for James Purefoy in a relatively cramped role (but tipped for greater things)!

Extra features on the DVD include a light-hearted commentary from Brian Helgeland and Paul Bettany, where they protest some of the FX tricks of the trade and hear Helgeland feign ignorance of the fact that they didn’t dance to David Bowie in 1366 or play Queen’s “We Will Rock You” at jousting tournaments. There is also a passable documentary and some genuine deleted scenes and a music video where Britains most favorite of original musical stars Robbie Williams performs Queen’s “We Are the Champions” with all the pomp and grandiosity of Freddie Mercury, outlining why he is considered natural heir to Mercury’s throne as Britains Greatest Showman.
Four stars for the movie (five stars are far too often and easily dispensed), four stars for the extras. Well worth checking out.
