From the Back Cover
Fast-talking streetwise Jamal Walker (Martin Lawrence) has big-time plans, but for now he is stuck in a dead-end job at a medieval theme park. After an accident at work, Jamal is suddenly transported back in time and finds himself in 14th century England – a world of knights in shining armour, a wicked king and damsels in distress. The Middle Ages will never be the same, after Jamal uses his 21st century wisecracks and attitude to help a down-and-out knight and a beautiful woman defeat an evil king.

To say this film is comedy gold would be doing it a disservice. The script is magnificent, the direction top quality, and the acting is Oscar worthy. The best film of its year, nay, its decade.
Martin Lawrence puts in a powerhouse performance as a young man coming to terms with his journey through time. Not only is he out of his time, he is out of his mind, and he's about to get medieval on you! The only disappointing scenes are when the brilliant Lawrence is not on screen, and we have to deal with Tom Wilkinson's turgid performance as Sir Knolte.
I, personally, see this film as the springboard of Lawrence's career. The plaudits he recieved for such a performance allowed him to star in such blockbusters as 'Big Momma's house 2' and 'Wild Hogs'. Two critically acclaimed successes, in every sense.

Jamal Walker (Martin Lawrence) works in a medieval theme park until one day he's magically transported back to the Middle Ages. Bluffing his way into the royal court as an ambassador from Normandy, he gets involved with a peasant revolt.
I don't mind Martin Lawrence as a rule, Bad Boys is berserker action fun, Big Momma's House has its moments and Blue Streak I confess to laughing at. But this is scraping the barrel, an unfunny spin on the time travel theme that sees Lawrence attempt to get laughs by bringing Ghetto speak to days of yore. That he doesn't succeed isn't down to him, he's full of his usual energy and gurning antics as always, it's kind of endearing in its simpleness, but the script (Darryl J. Quarles/Peter Gaulke/Gerry Swallow) is lazy and the direction from Gil Junger lifeless. Those actors working around Lawrence barely register as he blunders his way through scene after scene like a tornado in a greenhouse. Where you have to ask just what was Tom Wilkinson thinking of when he signed on for this turgid mess? I mean, he was Oscar nominated for In The Bedroom this same year. Now that's far more funnier than Black Knight all by itself.
Moronic, in fact it's beyond moronic, and those who support such a movie should be rounded up, put in the stocks and pelted with rotting fruit and vegetables. 2/10

Black Knight
When you're making a out and out comedy, especially one that has such a silly premise as "Black Knight" then you'd better make sure that the film is funny. Read more

A Knight to be reckoned with
Having read the on-line comments, I felt I had to write and disagree with the reviewer. The only thing I did agree with, was the acting of Martin Lawrence. Read more

A black day for all comedies
'Black Knight' is a dire comedy with very few entertaining elements. The only redeeming feature is the performance of Martin Lawrence who doesn't let the fact he is in a poor film... Read more
