I'm no particular fan of Martin Lawrence, but I've just seen Blue Streak and Black Knight, and they were both quite a bit better than I'd expected. While not enormously funny, they were still pretty entertaining, and more importantly, generally tasteful. Far, *far* superior to horrid crap like Scary Movie (and esp. the horrendous sequels), American Pie or anything with Leslie Nielsen in it.
I must voice some concern about this movie (Black Knight) getting *600* "1" ratings. That's absolutely unfair. Without having any kind of interest in Lawrence's career, I still have to say that it smacks of a legion of less than level-headed Lawrence-haters having given the movie a "1" rating just to give it a bad rap (and possibly without actually having seen it). It's quite simply the only explanation. No way that many people could honestly say this movie deserves a "1" out of 10.
My rating: 6 out of 10.
