Heath Ledger's medieval action comedy A Knight's Tale was well-received by critics in 2001 – but not all of the film's praise was genuine.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Heath Ledger medieval action comedy A Knight’s Tale found itself at the center of Sony’s fake review scandal when it was released in 2001. A Knight’s Tale is a classic underdog story, starring Ledger as William Thatcher, a peasant squire who poses as a knight so he can compete in tournaments.
A Knight’s Tale was well-received by critics. It wasn’t unanimously acclaimed, earning a 59% score on Rotten Tomatoes , but it did receive plenty of positive reviews. Critics praised Ledger’s performance, Brian Helgeland’s direction, and the inventive use of hit songs by artists like Queen and David Bowie on the historically inaccurate soundtrack.
Following the Newsweek investigation, Sony admitted that Manning was an invention of its marketing department to help sell Columbia Pictures’ movies.
Why A Knight's Tale's Falsified Quote Was Secretly Right All Along Unlike Manning’s absurd declaration that The Animal is “another winner,” his fake review for A Knight’s Tale actually turned out to be correct. Manning’s review of A Knight’s Tale proclaimed Ledger to be a future A-list star, and although this assertion wasn't true at the time, it ended up being right on the money.
