knight rider online

My initial impressions :

I liked that K.I.T.T. didn’t let those bad guys in the SUV die. K.I.T.T. would never ever do that on purpose.

I didn’t mind the lesbianism reference, at all.

What I did mind was the allusion to Mike’s polygamy. What do I tell my 9 year old son? We laughed it off but it still felt awkward. Just a little more imagination guys, there were plenty of ways we could have been shown he was a pure player. Really.

I liked the Mustang. Bumblebee is the Camaro now so that was taken. Personally, my best would’ve been an all-black Dodge Charger. Never mind that Dukes of Hazzard had a Charger. Their remake was so bad it buried the franchise for another 25 years, at least. Someone wanted to have a Trans-Am again. Dude, unless you want to CGI one in there, those cars just don’t exist anymore, how would they be supposed to collect enough of them to work with?

I O.K. the cast, I O.K. new K.I.T.T.’s voice/personality, I O.K. the score, I even O.K. the plot (more plausible, please !!! more scientific facts please !!!)

I HATED that there wasn’t ONE TURBOBOOST !!! Come on, even with the $ they got from Ford for all that slo-mo logo air-time, THEY COULDN’T SACRIFICE at least one? Send one up in the air will ya !?!?! That’s an implausible element people would not only still tolerate, they would eat it up ! I would.

ALL in ALL, I reserve final assessment for a later day. However, I can already say it deserves a passing grade. 6, 7 maybe even 7,5 / 10. More like 6 or 7. But solid enough to deserve continuation. When it comes down to it, YES, I want to see what else will happen to Traceur, Graimans, Mustang, etc… Most importantly, my thirst for an indestructible, 167mi/gal, 627miles in 3h17mn, A.I. car is still far from being quenched. Especially if it starts jumping over things again. Verdict : slight adjustments away from very good series material. I wanna see more.

So you would rather have KITT be an ugly 4 door box than a Mustang (which is still awful). Those generation Trans Ams are everywhere. The early '82-'84's are a little hard to come by, but they still could've used a '98-'02 body style.

After watching this new Knight Rider /Ford commercial, I thought there were some positives as well as negatives, I will watch the new series if it comes out ,even though I hate the that the new kitt is a Mustang, the action was pretty good after the first hour .
I was starting to get really bored, angry, and impatient with this knew K.R. t.v. movie pilot through the first hour, I was losing what little interest I had in this movie( after the KITT Mustang was revealed), Because of the following reasons:
1.) As an original K.R. fan since childhood, I was pissed that the only "appearance" of the original KITT was very disapointing in that , the only parts of KITT that I noticed, were the KNIGHT liscense plate, and part of the Gull wing steering wheel, there was a tarp covering something that I assumed was the gutted frame and shell of KITT, but that didn't even show even a hint of the Trans Am's shape , It was as though Ford was too paranoid, worried, or egotistical ,to even let NBC show the highly recognizable Original Trans Am versions gutted shell or even old concept drawings laying around, or up on the walls of the shop, in this new Ford powered K.R. show.
I would have liked it if , at the end of this Movie they would have had Michael Knight drive off from the funeral in the Original KITT and have Mike drive off in the Mustang, it would be like saying goodbye to an old legend while welcoming the new one, But NOOOOOO! The stuffed shirts at Ford didn't have enough vision, or respect for us Original Knight Rider fans while filming this latest Ford COMMERCIAL.

2.) We allready know that the knew KITT is a Mustang, that being said; Why does the new KITT have to have all of the Ford Logos still attached to the shell? The Pontiac Trans AM Firebird didn't have all of the GMC/Pontiac firebird Logos plastered all over the original KITT.
I was trying to give the new show a chance and not judge it to harshly because of the Mustang abomination, but the FIRST HOUR seemed to be little more than a Ford commercial as I had feared it would be, Especially how they zoomed in on the Cobra emblem in Slow Mo several times, and on the Ford logo on the rear of the new KITT.
Yes we all know that the new vehicle is a Ford ,Us original fans don't need nor want the Ford Mustang logos slapping us in the face every scene, especially if you want us to continue to watch the show.

3.) The interior of the Mustang KITT , especially the dash and Voice Box. I found this was very boring and bland at best compaired to the Trans AM KITT's dash. In my opinion the CPU monitor /voice box, looked like an oversized I-Pod screen with a heart monitor , I didn't like the voice box at all , I thought that the keyboard popping emerging out of the dash was cool, but I found it to be less interesting than the fully voice operated Knight Industries Two Thousand.
Things I liked about the new K.R. t.v. movie;
1.) I liked New Kitt's sense of humor , especially when it asked Mike if he was a homosexual , I laughed my butt off on that one and that seemed to be the turning point from the boring first hour Ford commercial, and actually getting on with the Knight Rider Movie instead of the Ford Mustang movie.

2.) I liked the action scenes especially when Mike was Kicking some buttocks with his martial arts/combat skills.

3.) I also liked the Hoff appearance and the hint of future appearances, It would be nice to see the Mustang KITT w/ Mike, team up at least once with Michael Knight who would be driving the Trans AM KITT , to keep us Original fans happy and watching the new K.R. in the hopes of seeing the Knight Industries Two Thousand again.
