This movie is just so goddamn charming. The cast is great. The story is mostly formulaic and the anachronisms amount to basically a gimmick, but you have to be heartless not to be won over by its charm anyway.

I'm going to become friends with a lama. Only on "the Life of Brian"-scale this movie would score as it does now (13 june 2012 86%)

I had better memories of this movie. But it's been twenty years (really ?!) so I probably saw it different then. To be honest, the story isn't very original and it's very predictable. And William isn't the most likeable character either. In a weird way the mix of medieval tale and contemporary style works. It makes it entertaining and the story almost becomes negligible. I found Christiana more beautiful but that's just me. Rufus Sewell gives you an adversary you love to hate. The Jousting scenes are absolutely awesome. It really pays off that those were done as in-camera stunts. Everytime a knight gets hit you kinda wince in your chair.

I understand why they cast Rufus Sewell as the baddy 80% of the time, he's got that perfect villainous face to fit the role. Pretty eyes.

Great watch, will watch again, and do recommend.

What a fantastic cast: I honestly don't know if you could have cast it better. Just thinking about Alan Tudyk, Heath Ledger, and Shannyn Sossamon makes me smile.

Everyone plays their roles fantasticly, taking their stock characters, and spinnin More

My dad, rest his soul, really liked this and at the time it came out I was a pretentious college student that had forsaken all things fun and couldn't understand what my father could possibly like about it.

And now I'm living in a world where someone makes a tweet with the president's head morphe More
