Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

good back-story, and good acting

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

This is the most worthless piece of "entertainment" I've ever seen. The horribly poor editing makes it impossible for one to understand what is happening or who is talking (Who said that? Was it a car or the villain?). The action sequences are lame, and the names of the cars are easily forgotten, as are the faces of the actors.But the worst thing is probably that the heroes often mention "Michael Knight" as someone they look up to, and who fought for justice and so on. Hey, he was a tall guy in a cool black car, Team Knight Rider are just a pack of losers in weird, terribly coloured machines.Not comparing to the original series, this is still as bad as they come.

I know that many expected this to be Knight Rider II, and they were disappointed. It is difficult to consider that a sequel would be so successful 15 years after the original [we've seen next-year sequels fail miserably before].... I give the TKR team (cast & crew) kudos for such a valiant effort. For those that wanted an "episode-one" match-up to the original KR series ... it's really unfair to expect a series to fully develop in one season "to expectations." I think that happened here.What makes TKR succeed in my mind consists of a few things cute (though corny-at-times) dialogue, complex interpersonal relationships, and the "personalities" of the vehicles. Too bad, on the last point, that the series was killed after the first season; I would have liked to see where things would have gone with the personalities of the five vehicles....The show, which does at times seem like a fan-show (written by fans and not by/via/supported-by the real writers themselves), does play with the idea of different personalities ... what KITT "could have been" [ballsy Beast, sweet-n-sexy Domino, prim-and-proper Kat, eclectic Plato and by-the-book/snobby Dante]. Not knocking-on Glen Larson's idea for the original KITT, but sometimes, variation can be ... "fun!" You have to admit, the voices were beautifully cast and the "character" matches to the vehicles' drivers was ... classic [especially Jenny/Domino, Duke/Beast and, of course, Trek/Plato].Sorry, but ... I think we lost-out in a large way when TKR was axed.Nia, Tom, Andrea, Linda, Kerrigan, Jon, Christine, Brixton, Duane, Kathy, Nick: TKR fans wish you the best of future success in your careers! ~ Domino Rose

Why was this so bad? Because the decision to make it came from 90's TV execs. This was trying to be slick and hip with a young politically correct cast and no relation to the original whatsoever. The ORIGINAL series was successful because it didn't take itself seriously. And it had humour! And character actors who developed 'brand loyalty'. Now if Universal had approached Larson Entertainment and persuaded Hasselhoff to return with the Original KITT (ignoring the mistake that was KR2000) and all new Larson-stable plots and directors, we would have had a guaranteed hit.
