Sadly Over-hyped
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
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.
I watched a disc of Knight Rider 2010 which I hadn't seen since my childhood, ironically I'm writing this review in 2011, so luckily the Mad Max style apocalypse has not happened yet. Three cheers for the Action Pack TV block! In my opinion if you take it as face value as a post apocalypse car action movie its not half bad. The thing that struck at once was that even though the Knight Rider conventions are there (talking car, charismatic loner on a mission of justice) the critics are right that its just not Knight Rider. The TV movie Kight Rider 2000 and the 2010 Knight Rider remake were more legitimate than this one.I love the old western style dialog and narration. I love that the on-board computer is a sexy sounding chick who quips one liners to the hero, as opposed to a stuffy English voice. I like how the hero starts out as an outlaw with a low opinion of himself, then builds himself up. I like how in this version the hero has a young wisecracking sidekick- a Robin to the hero's Batman.Around this time Virtual Reality had become possible with 1990's computers, so it was the latest buzzword at the time. Even better was that film was able to portray Virtual worlds much better than the early computers of the time with camera tricks and funny lighting effects.To respond to the other critics who posted that wanted Hasselhoff or high tech cars in the film; obviously for a TV movie of the week they had no real budget, and so could not afford Hasselhoff or extremely expensive high tech props.Some problems I had was I did not like the silly sci fi costumes for side characters (like Kabuki, the sidekick as a Rockabilly, the Redneck with the comical large mustache) On the whole it's a nice diversion of nostalgia that suffered from exploiting the Knight Rider brand. It even has monster truck smashing scenes.
Just to clarify the above statement quote"Michael Knight's evil twin brother Garth" Michael Knight is in no way related to Garth because Michael Knight is an alias created by Garths father(cant remember full name) for Michael Long. A cop who is nearly killed by a scandal that is outlined in the pilot and as well in later episodes. I saw the movie as well and i thought it was mildly entertaining although i have to agree that it was overall a bad attempt to milk the TV series.
I have seen the movie Knight Rider 2010 and do agree that it is not the best.in fact,it is extremely poorly produced.However-I think Tug 3 should get his facts right.James Doohan is in Knight Rider 2000,and not Knight Rider 2010.Dont' roll over my leg KITT!In any event the original is a great show which,although very eighties,still carries enough punch to make the grade.Reading about how some of the stunt work was done makes the big budget shows of today a bit naff.some of KN might seem a bit cheesy,but then again,some cheeses have a great flavour.and if super pursuit don't blow your mind just see a black pontiac close up-KITT is timeless.cue purple sunset
Believe it or not, I've watched this KR at least ten more times than KR 2000. It's not because the movie is a masterpiece, but it really does push the envelope on the KR legend and tries to do something interesting with it.Jake McQueen is a cool character since he's not a pure good guy, quite frankly, the guy was a criminal and ultimately winds up serving justice, not just the law. He is in essence a "young loner on a crusade to champion the cause of the innocent, the helpless and the powerless".The supporting cast does their jobs well and seeing a pre-Xena Hudson Leick is refreshing. Beach does a good job at being a sheriff who walks the straight line and finds that always doesn't get the job done.I honestly believe that this movie had great ideas, but should have taken things further. The car should have been built up over the course of the movie rather than only appear in the last half hour or so (a mistake that KR 2000 also made). The post-apocalyptic setting is cool, but the villains should have been fleshed out more. Having them be "cowboy era types" was not a problem, but they should have also been cybernetically augmented, much like their leader. The theme of humans and machines living side by side as opposed to united was interesting as well.I always regret this show was not turned into at least a mini-series or series of movies like "Tekwar" was. It would have been interesting to see if they advanced the storyline more. Overall, a nice try.
