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.Read full review
One of my favorite movies of all time! I finally broke down and bought it on blu-ray. I've always loved how they made a middle ages era movie modern by adding some modern music in the scenes. I particularly think that Heath Ledger did a wonderful job. RIP Heath Ledger

I won't discuss the film itself, as others have done so, and this is one of those love-it-or-hate-it movies. The Blu-Ray transfer on this one is above average, but not jaw dropping. Much improved detail and color make it a significant step up from the DVD version, but it doesn't have the "wow" factor compared to some other Blu-Rays. The 5.1 audio is good, but again, nothing amazing. If you like the movie and own a Blu-Ray player, this one is worth picking up. It looks and sounds above average, but isn't going to be the disc you pop in to show off your HDTV.
