Black Knight (2001)
1/10
Bleccchhh!

I have to admit I've never seen a movie quite like "Black Knight" before, and of course, I mean that in a bad way. I've never seen a movie quite so unfunny.

The only movie I've seen Martin Lawrence in that I actually enjoyed somewhat would have to be "Blue Streak," and even that wasn't a great movie. "Big Momma's House" was another disastrous effort, along with "Black Knight" and "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" As you've probably guessed, I'm not a big Lawrence fan.

Black cinema hasn't lived up to high standards in the past few years. While "Boyz N the Hood" is one of my favorite movies, this movie is one of the films released recently (same with "How High," "Bones," "The Wash") that just happens to be entertainment aimed mainly at African Americans.

I won't even bother reworking the plot because it pretty much stinks. It's a rip-off of Mark Twain's classic "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" that's neither funny nor innovative.

How the studio that produced this garbage even thought of making it is beyond me because "Black Knight" shouldn't have seen the light of day.
