United States | Los Angeles Times | "It has more hilarious throwaway lines than most comedies offer up as their best jokes, and it is consistently inspired, energetic and, most important, light on its feet." | POS |
United States | Boston Globe | "It's hard to find the movie unpleasant, but it's hard to imagine it causing any strong reaction at all." | NEU |
United States | The Washington Post | "This time-travel scenario is by now shopworn, and the normally riotous Lawrence, a manic and gifted clown, is hamstrung in his efforts to eke humor from the anemic script" | NEG |
United States | San Francisco Chronicle | "Martin Lawrence finally gets to show what he can do as a screen comedian." | POS |
United States | New York Post | "If this cheesy, cheap-looking update of 'A Connecticut Yankee at King Arthur's Court' had been co-produced by the Ku Klux Klan itself, it could hardly be more repellently stereotypical." | NEG |
United States | USA Today | "We had hoped for just a funny movie, but instead we get some laughs and plenty of yawns" | NEU |
United States | New York Daily News | "Dismal time-travel comedy that makes 'Big Momma's House' look like 'Citizen Kane'" | NEG |
United States | Philadelphia Inquirer | "Though the humor of Black Knight never quite achieves the giddiness of a Monty Python comedy, Lawrence creates a character more lovable than either Bill or Ted on either of their excellent adventures" | POS |
United States | The New York Times | "A movie that knows its audience. Its underlying philosophy might be: why try harder when this is all they expect?" | NEG |
United States | Austin Chronicle | "There's precious little to like about the witless and decidedly tedious Black Knight other than the fact that it's unlikely to generate a sequel" | NEG |
