Washington Post
Lawrence is miraculous, as always. - 70
Wall Street Journal
It's a shrewd little comedy that uses good British actors to challenge its star, who rises to the occasion. - 38
Baltimore Sun
The best thing about Black Knight is when it finally says goodnight. - 33
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Isn't merely bad, it's utterly flavorless and the filmmakers are either too lazy or too cynical to even pretend there's a story behind Lawrence's 21st century homeboy shtick in 14th-century garb. - 30
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. - 30
TV Guide Magazine
The lame and apparently tacked-on ending (which seems to crib footage from 2000's "Gladiator"), suggests the rather terrifying prospect of a Roman-era sequel. Five words: Be afraid, be very afraid. - 20
The New York Times
A movie that knows its audience. Its underlying philosophy might be: why try harder when this is all they expect? - 20
Chicago Reader
Jamal (Martin Lawrence), starts trying to make the best of a bad situation, which becomes our job too.
