Black Knight
Martin Lawrence plays Jamal, an employee in Medieval World amusement park. After nearly drowning in the moat, he awakens to find himself in 14th century England.
Critics Sentiment
Jamal teaches peasants modern fighting tactics and football moves
Princess Regina sneaks into Jamal's bed thinking she's Victoria
The film rebounds from its lowest point during the romantic subplot to its comedic peak when Jamal trains the medieval peasants using modern tactics.
Black Knight received mixed-to-negative reviews, with critics consistently praising the British supporting cast while finding Martin Lawrence's performance grating and over-the-top. The film showed occasional flashes of inventive humor, particularly in its Monty Python-inspired moments, but was ultimately dragged down by poor writing, crude comedy, and an especially maligned ending. Most reviewers acknowledged it as a guilty pleasure at best, with even positive reviews noting significant flaws.
