To begin with, the music was quite literally insane, starting with "We Will Rock You," by Queen, and going through ten more songs of equal illogicality for a medieval movie. Quite funny watching a jousting tournament chanting "We Will Rock You." Paul Bettany was probably the best thing that happened to the film, making a stark naked appearance as a writer/poet/whatever with a weakness for gambling. He was seriously consistent through the entire thing and generally did a good job.
The movie was kind of a mix of comedy and seriousness, for instance, the crazy songs suggested goofing off, and then Heath Ledger's completely serious expressions and getting beaten by the bad guy made you think twice.
No one has hair like Heath Ledger.
And that all that can be said about that!
