What did you expect when you got A Knight's Tale to watch? Was it a story based straight the Chaucer tale you had been reading? An accurately historical depiction of knights? Or just a fun movie looking to use some fun styles of the time and merge it with modern world ideas? Hopefully you answered yes to the last question. Those who are a fan of the stories, or wanted something more historically up their alley won't get their kicks from this one. Those who like a light, fun, and uplifting story though will like how vibrant this movie is. With a nicely woven in score from Carter Burwell, and a mixture of modern music from musicians like Queen this is a whole type of movie on it's own.
Summary: William's master has died, and as a peasant squire he has always wanted more. This seems the moment to do that, so with the other squires they still his master's identity and William becomes a knight. With the help of Chaucer they are able to legitimatize papers to make this official. William though does get sidetracked with love, Jocelyn, and his prideful attitude might be the downfall of his knighting career.
