While the ratings were nice for NBC’s Knight Rider, the film’s reviews aren’t so lucky. Check out a few, if you wish. I still haven’t watched the movie/pilot myself, but I was never terribly impressed (to say the least) with the remake, so I doubt my expectations are very high. I will be adding captures and clips in a few days none the less.

In industry-speak, this Knight Rider movie is what’s known as a “backdoor pilot.” (Scary thought, right?) But a lemon by any other name is still a lemon.

Well in conclusion I was quite impressed with the continuation of this classic series, the effects are cool. There is some very low budget shots that look quite bad (as an effects artist myself I am overly picky) but over all effects are pretty good. Characters are well chosen and fit the roles well, not as much over acting as we got out of David Hasslehoff in the past…

If this two-hour premiere is any indication, the new Knight Rider series is going to be a stinkfest. I thought that it would be horribly bad, but it’s just plain bad. Not that the original TV series was a masterpiece…
