I liked a Knight's Tale, but it is a fairly self-aware and comedic version of this. It's not trying to pretend it's historically accurate or serious.

[(Anonymous)]

I agree that it's bad if you think you're being historically rigorous and you're not

I think if you're deliberately flouting historical realism, that's a different thing

A Knight's Tale is honestly better with historical details (because you've got to know your history to make jokes from it!) than many serious movies.

[(Anonymous)]

It could be argued that it's in the genuine tradition of tournament narratives. I love it.

This. That's the difference for me. If a movie is doing it on purpose and being inaccurate intentionally and making it funny or something like that, it can work. But if it is trying to be accurate and in all other ways is a period-appropriate movie, it just doesn't work to me.

[(Anonymous)]

But how do you tell, watching a movie, that it's doing it intentionally or unintentionally?

[philstar22]

When there is more than just one anachronistic element, when they are having fun with it, there are different ways to tell. Can't always know for certain, but some like Knight's Tale are really obvious and those tend to be the ones I like.

Plus, A Knight's Tale is very cleverly done, with some amusing nods to actual mediaeval literature. There's a reason lots of scholars of the period actually love it.
