Knight Rider 2010 (1994)

Too many fans seem to be blown away

The Age of Commercialism

A Major Disappointment

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This movie is not what you think it would be. It was four in the morning and i was watching a marathon on the Sci-Fi channel and this movie popped up, and i had to watch it. At the beginning I thought this isn't to bad, but we do we get to see the car. Then the middle, got there and it was not what I expected. Though the movie isn't really a Knight Rider movie, but the action and somewhat of a story line make it a movie that if there is nothing else better on you might as well see it. If you are a Knight Rider fan waiting to see this movie you will know what I mean when you see it. My favorite thing about this movie would have to be basis of the story, it makes a great way to present a film. So if your not doing anything and aren't planning on doing anything, watch and see.

I watched this movie without linking it to the original TV series. It was long ago since they were on air, and all the kids called the episodes tot "Knight Rider" but "The KITT car!!!". So I rent Knight Rider 2010... This is one of those B-movies, with naive plot, unknown actors and cheap special effects.. But HELL I love this movie! If you expect KITT or Night - you'll be probably disappointed. So take this not as "Knight Rider", take it as a brand new story. If you like post-apocalyptic stuff and old style car battles - watch it! This movie isn't great, but it's cool! If this was a cartoon or animated series it would probably become cult classic.

This excuse for a film is not worthy of the name Knight Rider. Avoid this at all costs. Anyone wanting to see Knight Rider after Michael Knight should see Knight Rider 2000. Even Team Knight Rider is more entertaining than this turkey! Minus 1 out of 10.

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.
