Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Cissy Évelyne It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

Beulah Bram A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

SnoopyStyle Jamal Walker (Martin Lawrence) is a selfish slacker medieval park employee. The owner hoped for better for Jamal and her rundown park. Now another park Castle World is opening down the road and Jamal wants to abandon ship before it sinks. He sees a brilliant medallion in the moat and he tries to get it. It pulls him into 14th-century England. Jamal meets disheveled Sir Knolte (Tom Wilkinson). He wanders into the court of the usurper King Leo when he's mistaken for a messenger from Normandy. He meets beautiful Victoria (Marsha Thomason) who is one of the king's chambermaids and the king's viscous henchman Percival (Vincent Regan) . He thinks it's Castle World until somebody gets beheaded.Martin Lawrence is not funny by himself. His idiocy needs another person to bounce off of in a buddy duo. Alone, he's just an annoying jackass. He definitely has a ton of energy but he doesn't have the script. The setting looks like a built up Medieval Times. The King has a funny line early on where Martin Lawrence keeps failing to ride the horse even after everyone has stopped laughing. Even when it is no longer funny. He never gives up on the joke. That's the central core of the movie. It's not funny, but it doesn't stop Martin Lawrence from trying over and over again.

Gatto Nero A very "forced" comedy.The only saving grace is a very capable group of actors playing their roles rather well.Martin just seemed out of place but then again that was what the whole movie is about!The beautiful Marsha Thomason as Victoria the Chambermaid was great casting as was Tom Wilkinson as Sir Knolte of Marlborough, Vincent Regan as Percival, Leo's Chief Henchman and Kevin Conway as King Leo.All in all, a very stupid comedy about time-travel that's not ever explained but still the Martin "charm" comes through as always. He can be annoying at times but on the flip-side he can be on-target-funny sometimes. Regardless, I'm glad I got to see it for the very 1st time. It took me 12 years but hey, I'm catching up little by little.

Spikeopath 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

Jackson Booth-Millard After seeing Big Momma's House and of course Bad Boys, I was keen to see quite a few of the black leading actor's films, even the ones that are not highly rated by the critics, but this one sounded worth a go at least. Basically at Castle World, the shabby and low profit medieval themed amusement park, is low level worker Jamal Walker (Martin Lawrence), who is magically transported back to England in the 14th Century by a special medallion in the moat. He explores the woods and eventually the kingdom, he believes for a while that everyone around him is acting like they are in the medieval times, even after seeing the old way of using the toilet, a beheading confirms the time he is in though. While there, Jamal is mistaken as a messenger from Normandy, and trying to fit in as best as he can, i.e. getting on with King Leo (Kevin Conway) and all the other people around him, of course his modern day ghetto attitude doesn't always fit. He also has many encounters with the beautiful Victoria the Chambermaid (The Haunted Mansion's Marsha Thomason), who reveals there is a plot to kill the king, she is part of it, because he has been hated by many people for quite some time. Jamal, claiming himself as both a messenger and a jester, and donning the name "Sir Skywalker", has also gained an enemy with the mean Sir Percival, Leo's Chief Henchman (Vincent Regan). There is a legend of the Black Knight, it may in fact be Jamal who that legend refers too, as he does gain bravery to get Victoria and Sir Knolte of Marlborough (Tom Wilkinson) on side to make armour and go against the bad guys and return the rightful Queen to the throne. Eventually Jamal decides it is best to return to the present day, via the way he came, he is sad to leave Victoria behind, but he may have in fact found her again with modern reincarnation Nicole (still Thomason), before falling back in the moat again and transported into a Gliator themed arena. Also starring Jeannette Weegar as Princess Regina - Leo's Daughter, Daryl Mitchell as Steve and Michael Burgess as Ernie. Lawrence with his cheeky-chappy persona is quite funny most of the time in this film, and the modern day mixing with the olden days format is amusing in many moments, so it's a reasonable comedy. Okay!
