UnowPriceless hyped garbage

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Fatma Suarez The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Leofwine_draca A TV movie updating of the classic KNIGHT RIDER series, this was envisaged as a pilot for a new revamped show which didn't get picked up. However, it's still pretty entertaining for what it is, and it has a lot of fan-pleasing elements included too. The story sees KITT rebuilt from scratch and David Hasselhoff coming out of retirement to help fight corruption from within the police force as well as a murderous mad man intent on wreaking havoc in the city.KNIGHT RIDER 2000 has a pleasant early '90s feel to it which brings it in line with sci-fi fare from that era. The early futuristic set dressing is quite fun as is the political debate, and the cast members all do a dedicated job. I was particularly delighted to see Mitch Pileggi playing another villainous role riffing on his turn in Wes Craven's SHOCKER. The one let down is the action; there are few action scenes and those that do take place simply aren't very good, but the film as a whole has a solid ambiance that makes it rather likable.

Joshua Belyeu "Knight Rider 2000" is a very well-made film, originally produced as the pilot for a new show with Susan Norman and Carmen Argenziano as the main leads. David Hasselhoff, Edward Mulhare, and William Daniels all reprised their roles, and its a real shame the new series never took off; I'd have watched it for sure.The story is fairly simple, but effective. 14 years after the end of the series, Devon Miles (Mulhare) still runs the Knight Foundation, partnered with former district attorney Russell Maddock (Argenziano). Conventional firearms have been banned across the board, even from the police. Evildoers are no longer held in jail cells, but cryogenically frozen for their crimes. When a Seattle mayor is shot with a semi-automatic handgun, Devon seeks out retired ally Michael Knight (Hasselhoff) to aid the investigation, pairing him with a rebuilt KITT (Daniels), and police officer Shawn McCormick (Norman). The villain of the piece is Thomas J. Watts (Mitch Pileggi), a former cop turned gunrunner, with a notable connection to McCormick.This film originally aired in 1991, and has become a cult favorite for fans of the series. Its easily light-years ahead of any other attempt to revive the property, including 1997's "Team Knight Rider" and the 2008 reboot starring Justin Bruening and Deanna Russo. The original show is still the best of them all, but this movie's a worthy successor, included on both the standalone Season 1 DVD set and the Complete Series package.

TheHIGGANS While not quite true to the original Knight Rider show this is still a very well done movie. It was just a TV movie not a big blockbuster, but good all the same. Everyone loved the original KR theme but Jan Hammer really shocked me with a beautiful score. The new car was based off of the 1988 Pontiac Banshee (an nice looking car actually). While KITT is now very very grumpy and furiously sarcastic (I guess being stuck in storage for 15 years can do that to you). KITT does not have most of his previous features. Yup, no Ski mode, SPM, oil slick, and (can you believe it?)...NO TURBO BOOST!!!! A decent plot, but all fans miss the original Black Trans Am flying through the air.

dragonblade2678 I really was excited when I got my KR Season 1 DVD box set. It was the coolest thing ever, to see my absolute favorite 80s show ever end up on DVDs, that I could cherish forever. Not only that, but the menu was cool, the episodes in clear and wonderful clarity, and of course, everything that was K.I.T.T just made me smile and fall in love with the show even more.I was even more pleasantly surprised to see that the Knight Rider 2000 movie was included, as I had never seen it.Well, I wasn't so thrilled after I watched it. Granted, the show had its moments, like when we saw the hot new KIFT, which was indeed a pretty cool looking car. But that's really all it had. Good looks. Compared to K.I.T.T, KIFT just looked like some wanna-be. But gawd, the torture of seeing K.I.T.T disassembled, and then Devon KILLED? That just put knives in my Knight Rider-loving heart. You have got to be kidding me. The only thing that stopped me from hating this movie was seeing K.I.T.T get revived and put into the new KIFT. But even so, they had Michael and K.I.T.T separate at the end. No. It should have been that Michael took K.I.T.T with him, and the two retired together. Then maybe when Michael finally died, K.I.T.T could go to a new owner. Those two were meant to be together for life. I truly was disappointed in what could of been a good movie. I do hope the new movie that's rumored to arrive soon is MUCH better then this. But even if not, I have the wonderful 80s show to keep me in love. ;)
