    What a show & what a series, its a shame they may ban this altogether. Sign the Knight Rider Petition to save this fantastic show from going to the wall.

    Nothing but an extended Ford commercial! The special effects were obvious, the acting and plot were ridiculous. I actually didn't hate the scene with Hasselhoff though. From what I remember of the original, it was better, and so it was at least nice to see him pass the torch.

    this movie was really good wish they would make it into a series.

    I really wanted to like it; it wasn't poorly made, but the simple story is definitely padded out to a road trip sort of scenario, with KITT driving against sunsets of the American Frontier. Little happens. In a pinch, it serves as a two hour Ford commercial--- the product pl...( read more)acement as blatant and shameless as Bay's "Transformers" was.

    I saw reviews knocking this made for tv movie at imdb.com. People call it a 2 hour advertisement for Ford Mustang.

    Yes it's obvious that they are infact advertising it since they even had commercials with the lead actor driving Kit during the movie.

    I enjoyed the mov...( read more)ie despite that. Kit is cooler than ever and the effects are surprisingly not that bad. You also get a nice cameo from the lead of the original series David Hasselhoff. So this is more than just an advertisement, it's pretty fun actually.

    o man this one hassled my hoff! this pilot is a bad preview on the '08er knight rider series (dead after season one)...
    the producers amputated kitt "his" humor and design... a trans am was such a gas-wasting beautiful car inside and outside, now you get a nasa-designed cockpit a...( read more)nd a cgi-effekt outside... some nice ideas for technical innovation (solar), but mostly bad concepts ( morph?, firewall???).

    Awesome Series!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I would only watch this because I haven't given up on Val Kilmer yet. The reason I will not watch this is 'The Hoff' - he annoys the crap out of me.

    After seeing a bit of the Knight Rider Movie I am looking for a DVD to add to my collection. A very nice touch putting a MUSTANG in as KITT, a little far fetched but with todays technology who knows.

    If you miss Knight Rider the movie last night within 2 hours movie. Here's watch Knight Rider below site.

    Mike Tracer follows his father's footsteps to ride with KITT on his Mission just like his father. Michael Knight is his father.

    New KITT is compared the difference between the original KITT back in 1980s.
