pretty good movie
14 July 2006
I was really getting my hopes up for this movie, and most of them got true, i've loved heath ledger for i don't know how long and i thought he really pulled it off in this movie. You really believe he is drunk 24-7 but you also feel kinda sorry for him as the story goes along. He can't stop drinking, and he'll probably turn into a sad old man, which i think is pretty sad.

i really thought Emile Hirsch, who plays Jay, was terrific!! I really believed every word he said. Although, i must say i really hated him when he shaved his head! i thought the long hair looked better ;). He was the one i felt the most sorry for, he just had a terrible youth, mom and dad split up, drugs.. you name it.

Stacy was pretty good to, he was the most 'normal' guy, he worked, owns a car and is looking after himself.

Sometimes i just hated Tony ;) he was pretty arrogant in the almost ending of the movie. "its about me". but still, you can see him grow in the end of the movie, he's cleaning Sids pool and is really cool and nice to the rest of the guys.

sometimes i thought it was a bit boring, it didn't say anything. It took a long time to get to the real point in the movie. that could have been better, but oh my the skating! that was awesome! if you think skating is cool you'd better watch it!! most of it is done by the actors so i"ve been told on the DVD ;) great movie, sometimes a bit boring but just look past that and see what this movie is about, friendship, pride, and being yourself, which was a really hard thing for the z-boys, being famous and all.

just watch it, you won't regret it!

Very funny

A straight A for me :D This is my kind of movie. lots of humor. I'ts about a guy who wants to be a knight so he can perform in the jousting. Only he may not compete, his family isn't rich and he is a thatcher. So he makes up a false name. When he and his friends are on the way to Rouen they meet a writer who writes paintings of nobility. they need, otherwise he cant play in the jousting. of course there is a princess and a 'bad guy' who he needs to defeat to get the girl ;). it sounds a bit familiar but its not! the writers did everything they could to make this film special. there are lots of details. you really have to so this movie. you won't regret it!! And last but not least.. Heath Ledger puts down a wonderful performance! He is very cute and a great actor in this movie!
