July 25, 2011While it's not one of the best comedies I've ever seen, it's still really good. Some nice fight scenes, some great humor, a good script for a comedy. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it deserves a bit better than 14%.
Granted, there were a few scenes that weren't that funny. The e... read more -
December 21, 2010More comical than expected, lots of predictability, but a light hearted, easy watching, no brainer

October 14, 2009Previews made it look hilarious, but watch it and you'll see how misled they were.

October 1, 2009Martin Lawrence shows us that only through understanding will we defeat evil in all its incarnations. What a load of bollocks! Crap film, avoid at all costs.

Martin Lawrence [stars] as a theme park worker who falls into a scummy moat and surfaces in the Middle Ages -- perhaps in search of people who would find his humor fresh and original. No such luck. Full Review

Black Knight isn't awful, strictly speaking, just tepid and predictable. Full Review

Jay Carr, Boston Globe
A time-travel comedy that doesn't go anywhere we haven't been before.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews
The latest in a string of mediocre-to-bad films that have latched onto Lawrence's name as their sole marketable commodity. Full Review

Kirk Honeycutt, Hollywood Reporter
Intermittently amusing though sloppy around the edges, Black Knight makes a serviceable vehicle for Martin Lawrence's clowning.

Stephen Hunter, Washington Post
Slight but highly enjoyable.
