Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

ben_thurber Out of all the shows that network execs killed, this is, perhaps, one of the three saddest (the other two on the top three are Crusade and Firefly). The idea of having a whole team of Knight Riders with their own vehicles was, in essence, brilliantly conceived, and the show was actually a fantastic idea. It would've done even better if the network execs had let the creativity flow the way the creators wanted it to flow instead of trying to "suggest (i.e. demand)" things. Perhaps seeing less of Erica's overtly sexual advances and more of trying to build the dynamic between drivers and cars (one of the secrets of the original series), or having the relationships between them all build, the show would have survived. As it was, it should've made it.

Jonny Porter The major concern with this show (apart from the lack of any originality or plot) is the fact that there are too many characters and machines to get to know. And they all seem to be very much the same. Synthesized voices and (less than) witty comebacks. They are all poor cousins of K.I.T.T The effects are so cheap it feels like it could be the another version of Power Rangers. The actors are pretty but talentless and if a chatty Land Rover is your idea of entertainment this is right up your street. For me it couldn't be anymore uninspiring. Some of the thin plots linked to Michael Knight as if that was going to entice you to stay tuned. But even the cheese-meister that is Hasselhoff, wouldn't bring himself to guest star on this crud.Shouldn't have got past the pilot stage.

Victor Field The TV movie/prospective pilot "Knight Rider 2000" was dreadful, no doubt about it - but the later "Team Knight Rider" made that misbegotten effort look like "Brian's Song" in comparison.The premise is that ten years down the line one man and his machine is no longer enough to handle crime; now five people and five machines are required to do the job. Sounds a lot like "Thunderbirds," doesn't it? Except that "Thunderbirds" boasted better writing, better machines, stronger characterisation (I'm serious), more excitement, and more convincing special effects. (We won't make any "wooden acting" jokes.) This really makes you appreciate David Hasselhoff's contribution to the original show - big-headed though he may be, he definitely has more talent and charisma than the mob assembled here. KITT also had more of a personality than the gadgetry on display here as well.Kathy Trageser (Erica) was cute, and the theme music was good, but otherwise this embarrassing farrago was so subpar that Glen Larson wouldn't have been blamed for taking his name off it if he had chosen to do so. (Then again, anyone who's seen the truly appalling pilot for "NightMan" will know that "shame" isn't part of Larson's vocabulary.) Thank heaven this didn't get a second season...

apelinq TKR was a good show with lots of potential. Many people judge it harshly, but I believe that the voice acting of the vehicles and the acting on the part of the drivers was good. I believe if they had been given another season to work through, the actors could have grown into the roles more and the relationships with the vehicles would have developed further. Fans who wanted the KITT/Michael relationship were bound to be disappointed since this was NOT a show focusing on KITT and Michael. These were *new* personalities, and to me that was its charm.The vehicles themselves were awesome, and I do hope they are safely stored away somewhere to be shown off at some future time. It was nice to see the two motorcycles damaged and rebuilt. It was also great to see why there was now a TEAM and not just ONE hero. There was continuity between the two shows and it was nice to see them move away from the KR 2000 timeline and just work a new one in.I believe this show deserved at least another season to prove its worth.
