Consumer DVD Review
[Top]
Black Knight is a dire comedy with very few entertaining elements. The only redeeming feature is the performance of Martin Lawrence who doesnt let the fact he is in a poor film damage his acting ability. The main problem with this film is that the plot is unrealistic to the point of utter stupidity. The king, evil knight & princess are such shallow characters that you cannot even begin to relate to them or find them amusing. Add to this an incredibly dull script & very few interesting jokes & you will begin to have some idea of the quality of this film.
The basic story is that of a man going back in time & saving the land from an evil king & learning honour & righteousness while hes at it, . This tedious tale is occasionally interrupted by a moment of hilarity before retuning to the same painful disgrace. The only thing that saves this from being a one star film is Martin Lawrence who never fails to lift the overall standard of any film.
In conclusion, to buy this film would be a crime against any other DVD in youre collection & I would strongly advise against it.
