This is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's amazingly done. It combines the middle ages with present-day music. It really brightens up the movie.
The movie starts with William Thatcher, a poor squire, who has always dreamed of being a knight. When he gets the chance to disguise himself as a knight, he takes it. He decides to maintain his false identity for as long as he can. With the help of his friends Wat, Roland, and Geoffrey Chaucer he is able to pull it off. He creates a new name for himself, Sir Ulrich of Liechtenstein, he wins tournaments and awards. To prove himself truly noble he must beat an arrogant knight Count Adhemar in a series of jousts. We also learn that William's father gave him up in order for William to find a better life. He and his father are able to reunite in the movie. It is quite moving, it makes me cry everytime I see it.
The cast is excellent in this movie, the cast includes: Heath Ledger, Paul Bettany, Alan Tudyk, Mark Addy, and Rufus Sewell.
This movie is also loosely based on Geoffry Chaucer's book Canterbury Tales. That's where one of the character names comes from.
I recommend this movie to anyone.

You can't rate this movie as excellent, because its never going to be a classic movie in the genre of Lord of the Rings. It trys to be a genuine, well-set tale of peasant made knight, but it doesn't quite make it. However, if you approach this movie with the idea that its not an absolutely accurate depiction of medieval times, you will enjoy it. There is great modern music, which I know many people thought shouldn't be a part of it, but I found refreshing for the overall attitude of the movie. The actors worked well together and individually. There were many good funny lines and many poignant moments. The jousting scenes with the evil knight were terrific and plentiful. Heath Ledger is an excellent hero, trying to make a name for himself as a knight, win the hand of the royal Lady, and make his father proud. This is a movie to be enjoyed more than once!
