"Particularly uninspired, a series of gags strung together without much care for order or context."
Philadelphia City Paper
Cynthia Fuchs
2.5/4
"The first 23 minutes of
Black Knight
(yes, I timed it) are easily the most effective..."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
1.5/4
"An instantly forgettable and disposable affair."

Dustin Putman
2.5/4
"
Black Knight
's first half is a consistent hoot."
Slant Magazine

"It's spectacularly unfunny, badly acted, and filled with so many contrivances and plot holes, you'd think the three screenwriters each wrote their chunk of the movie without looking at what the others had written."

1.5/4
"...is about as hilarious as skinny-dipping in an alligator-infested moat."
Movie Eye

"Runs out of invention long before it lumbers to a close...a decidedly thin, anemic farce."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
2/4
"The latest in a string of mediocre-to-bad films that have latched onto Lawrence's name as their sole marketable commodity."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
"It's simply not clever or imaginative enough in playing off the basic premise."
Screen It!
Jim Judy
4/10
"...there's not a lot in it that will offend anyone...unless you count dull, boring, and unoriginal as offensive."
DVDTown.com
John J. Puccio
1/10
"It almost seems like they made things up as they went along."
Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
0.5/4
"Martin Lawrence can be hysterically funny. You'd never guess that from watching the remarkably wasteful endeavor."
Mr. Brown's Movies
Michael Dequina
2/4
"This is the kind of role Lawrence can phone in, and that is exactly what he has done."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
3/5
"A lot of slapstick, a little romance, swords, arrows, and punches, and all pretty painless, helped by some good gags and Lawrence’s facility with physical comedy. "
Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
Nell Minow
1/5
"If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the movie. One's a lot longer than the other."

"A slogging, painfully uninspired rehash of
A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court
."
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
"Lawrence's fans should love
Black Knight
, though that's hardly a glowing recommendation."
Eclipse Magazine
Sean O'Connell
0.5/4
"crap"
sbs.is
Stefan Birgir Stefansson
"Has about as much swagger as its bland and basic title."
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
2/4
"Though Jamal predictably scores his Dorothy-ian triple play by the end, Black Knight is left searching for courage and a brain."
