Knight Rider does not resemble transformers in anyway. The KITT Cobra is a far better machine than the Police Cobra in Transformers, Which is more like a Cartoon than a movie. I thought I was watching a bunch of car parts flying around like in Twister when the robots were fighting.
I think Transformers is a great movie in it’s own right but nothing like Knight Rider.

GREAT, AWESOME!
That is my take! It left me hungry for more! KITT Cobra is 10 times better than that old low horsepower Firebird that didn’t even rival Smokey and the Bandit’s Trans Am. Mike is Sharp, the girl is a Doll and Who could ask for more? David Hasselhoff at the end!
They could dig the old Firebird out of moth balls and trick it up and have two KITTS. Mike’s girlfriend or Hasselhoff could drive the Bird.
I hope NBC plays the pilot again so everyone that thinks it was bad even though they haven’t even seen it can get straight.

I am with Ian here. I thought the Moive was fine. No it was not a BSG, but not many re-makes are going to be. I felt the commercials were a littl over the top (ford commercials that is) however, being a Mustang owner myself, I thought it was a great upgrade for the Knight Industries Three Thousand.

Series should focus more on the detective and mystery side, and less on the pathetic romance angle, though.

I thought the movie was fine. Could’ve been better, but I didn’t complain at all. I am looking forward to the series.

I think they need a new voice for KITT, and they REALLY need to drop the ford deal, and get themselves a better, more sporty car. The Mustang is great and everything, but it goes against the original style of the car. It needs to be a small, low, wedge shaped car.

Val Kilmer wasn’t good, he wasn’t funny and he had none of the charm of the original.

Other than that, I thought it had potential. I’d like a new series, but my feeling is it won’t be well received and will be cancelled fairly swiftly.

didn’t anyone see the pilot? it was awful, beyond awful infact. It was a bad copy of transformers without the awesome transformations into a robot. I think it’ll be cancelled pretty quickly if they ever get to make it.

I’m going to guess that Ford is still willing to supply cars and buy ads during the show, otherwise they’d would have canceled it.

I am sure they will re-air the movie as a pilot or at least start it off with a better first episode with the improvements in place (if they are significant enough)

Has potential for sure, now we’ll see if they realize said potential.
