Good concept, poorly executed.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

This is NOT a Knight Rider film as the people who have ever watched the original series will understand. It just contains 2 of the actors from the old and EXCELLENT TV Series. Please, if you are a fan of the original DO NOT WATCH. You will be seriously disappointed. If you have never seen any of the old Knight Rider series then you may be able to watch this as just another film. But, please, do not watch this as a premise to watching the TV Series. They are totally different. The TV Series is hard hitting, exciting, gripping and contains the real KITT. This is just a really bad joke.

This was filmed in San Antonio, Texas.. where I live. At the time a huge deal was made about it. All the locations in the movie were pre-existing. The gold mirrored building has been around for years before this was made, but is in a urban surrounding and was edited to stand alone... also coincidentally was color hued for the movie .. its actually silver. Also in the movie are scenes of San Antonio's Riverwalk .. complete with KITT "driving" on it. The car used is a Pontiac Banshee prototype that was never put into production.. some say cause of the failure of this movie. Even if your a fan of the original series this movie is totally worth skipping. I was .. and watching this killed my inner child.

This movie stunk to high ....This movie's plot was a joke and was made a joke. A total smack in the face of the series! I can understand Michael retiring and leaving KITT to the foundation to continue on with another driver, but once I found out that KITT got dismantled after he got "outdated", I was enraged!! Why didn't they just give him to Michael? After ALL they went though together, why couldn't they just honor Michael and have KITT retire with him. Seeing KITT in a BIN was way to heart breaking!!! Killing off Devon was another terrible piece of the plot. That was totally not needed to be done, and for what...As for the ending, it finally put KITT in the RED car. The problem with that is I remember in one of the episodes that KITT had to be covered inside a RED fancy car shell for a mission and when he finally was out of it they asked him if he liked RED. He said "I'm the Knight Industries Two Thousand ... not a tomato on wheels". Now I totally agree. The car should be BLACK, not RED (just doesn't fit).There were other terrible pieces of the plot and I could go on for several paragraphs but let's just say the movie did not have any good spots at all! You can tell Glen Larson had nothing to do with this movie. The plot was just not him. Hopefully in the next movie (yes, hopefully), now that they might have Glen Larson on board, they will just forget this movie existed (leave it in an alternate universe) and have it continued straight from the series' end and not this unfortunately made movie's end.

I've always been a big Knight Rider fan since I was a kid and I admit I've even thought about buying a mid-80s black Trans Am so I could cruise around pretending like I was Michael Knight. So after watching season one of the show on DVD and then watching this poor excuse for a movie, I am a little ticked.First of all, where is the black Trans Am that everyone loved? I mean if you're going to replace the car at least do it with something better, not some huge front-wheel drive piece of crap.Secondly, why did Michael turn into a wimp who wants to spend his life fishing instead of kicking ass? Next, the music is awful. Again don't fix it if it ain't broke. The old theme was awesome and the new music doesn't even have an identifiable theme. It's just sleepy synthesized elevator music.Why does Devon have to die, and in such a lame way? That was ridiculous.Lastly, where is the car??? I know I said this before but I spent the whole movie waiting for the old car to pop up and it never came. And the new one sucks. Bad.I would give this 2 stars out of pity but basically I blame crap like this for ruining the Knight Rider franchise. Yeah and Team Knight Rider sucked too.
