Page 1 of A Knight`s Tale - Any good - Urgent answer needed!!

Notice that Play have now got this in. I`ve seen a number of reviews that have liked it and a number that have slated it. Have you seen it? Is it worth ordering today in time for babysitting duties on Saturday night or is it pants?

Cheers sfg

Totally and utterly subjective opinion, really. I took my family to see it at the cinema (got free preview tickets!!) .My kids are aged 12 & 10 and my wife is 41 (I`m 43!), and we all THOROUGHLY enjoyed the film. But you have to suspend belief for a couple of hours. I`m sure Barry Norman or anyone else who only likes films with subtitles will hate the film. All depends if you are like me or Barry Norman, really. ;-)

How is this a bargain?

It`s a bargain because Play are offering it at £16 whereas if I travelled to Canada to buy it it would cost me £467.36 for flights, accomodation and dvd purchase. Simple really.

..and,to put it another way, you could always spend £20 taking the family to see it at the pictures......once. ;-)

This is a fair point LJ, however, if we enjoy it then the little buggers will just make me buy it anyway, so I pay 2x for the same film. Also, as a father you must know that a visit to the cinema is not just tickets; it`s popcorn, Coke, nachos (does anybody but kids like them?) as well as toilet visits and "What did he say Dad" etc.

No, I learned long ago that kids and cinema do not bode well for my wallet and by viewing pleasure. (God, I`m a tight-fisted b***ard!).

even if it`s the best film in the world i don`t think yer gonna get it from play by saturday...... knight< sic ;o)

bye 4 now

Well, I`ve just bought Traffic as well this week which I`ve yet to see so if AKT doesn`t arrive (I have now ordered it) then we`ll just watch that - I`m sure the kids will find it very entertaining ;o)

p.s Traffic was bought at Global video, ex-rental for £9.99. I have also done this with a couple of other films at the same price (Pitch Black/Charlie`s Angels), apparently they sell them 6 weeks after release. The other 2 worked fine and were in near perfect condition, well worth having a look if you have a Global near you. They also have a web site somewhere too.

Buy it. Its definetly a great film. I went in expecting a serious film like the patriot and was very surprised by the intro. Great film, great fun, great soundtrack. After watching it, u will feel like taking up jousting
