I feel dumber. :( This could have been so cool.

Instead, they stuck us with a prettyboy soap opera actor who's way too likeable in all of his onscreen buffoonery. :emperor

And whoever's idea it was to keep the geek sidekick on as a regular needs to be taken out and shot. As does Glen A. Larson for not letting the concept grow out of the 80s.

I'm really disappointed in this. Still ... I hope I won the car. :D
 
Well I guess I am alone but this was at least better than the last couple feeble attempts at a Knight Rider movie. It did bug me that it was basically a Ford Mustang commercial for the first 1/2 hour and they are going overboard on the camoflage/morphing ability but I thought it ended ok. I think it was a decent attempt at a new direction and raised a few questions about what happened to the first KITT, FLAG and Knight Industries. I would probably give it a chance if it does get picked up and become a series.
 
I actually thought it wasn't too bad, time will tell if a whole series can stand up.

I will say though, having grown up watching KR, it's hard to hear anyone but William Daniels as KITT's voice, though Kilmer was alright, my nostalgia keeps me from totally buying into Kilmer.

As for the new car, when it's in basic Shelby mode, it's beautiful and I drool over it, but some of the souped up modes aren't so nice a looking vehicle.
 
It was ok towards the end, but that first hour and a half was booooooooring. I didn't think they were ever getting off of that deserted highway. Val Kilmer is a horrible KITT, it was like listening to a Speak N Spell. He doesn't hold a candle to the St. Elsewhere guy.

I'll give it another try, but I have a feeling the only thing that could save this show is slapping a goatee on the Hoff and bringing back the Knight Automated Roving Robot. Ah, the power of cheese.
 
Kilmer sucked, acting sucked, the new car sucks, they turned it into a T-1000. I was expecting Robert Patricks head to pop up from the hood and say "Have you seen this boy?" Horrible show

If they had to change things, why not Eartha Kitt?! :lol

Aren't cars "she" anyway?

Personally, without a TA available I would have opted for a Stingray III. (It would also probably force it into production!)

Choosing a Ford that looks like a Chrysler is just wrong.
