Style of movie? Lighthearted Action or Serious Sci Fi?

whats people's opinions on the style of the movie they want to see?
Do you want to see a lighthearted action movie in the style of the recent A Team movie, or would you prefer a more serious darker comedy less Sci Fi orientated movie with more realism and substance?
After seeing the A Team Flop, barely making its budget back, whats the best scenario?
I'm guessing the new movie needs to have virtually no campness or comedy value in it, because lets face it, we need to see a new take on Knight Rider, something we haven't seen before. Let's try something different.
Since the new movie is a reimagining on the idea of the Knight Rider, a more serious take with perhaps more realistic elements will help bring in a bigger box office than just a straight action movie.
In my opinion, the new movie should have the tone of the recent "Inception" movie by Christopher Nolan. And the cast should be talented actors who will take the role seriously.
I also think the movie should have a stylised look to it, a defining color scheme maybe. A sort of blueish darkish tone to it, because I think the red scanner will contrast well with that.
The potential is definitely there to make Knight Rider more than just an 80s remake or a popcorn flick. They just need the director with the balls to do it.
I also think people are incredibly disrespectful to the acting talent of David Hasselhoff, quite often he is ridiculed as some sort of hasbeen or relic, when in actual fact, he can pull of serious drama with much better conviction and charisma than many so called "actors" in hollywood today.
I wouldn't mind seeing Hasselhoff in a cameo role in the new movie, he at least deserves that. I'm sure he would be great as a sort of Michael Caine esque old wise guy in a short scene.
As for the car, I think it should be designed to look very sleek, minimal and futuristic. It should have a design which will not date quickly or be confined to a certain decade or era. Its definitely possible, they can easily get a designer to create a concept car and then create replicas for any stunts etc.
Also, the car should not be confined to being American only. A japanese or european car could easily be used. Muscle car for this movie I think needs a rest. Let's try something different.
