knight rider 2008 movie
lots of spoilers...
As I have been saying, I was cousiously excited about the new knight rider movie(prolly to become a series). It was pretty much exactly what I expected, which is pretty good but with changes I didn’t like. I liked all the actors and the car looked cool. I don’t think that knight industries three thousand had as much emotion in it’s voice as knight industries two thousand. They brought in this Charles Graison character who was never mentioned in the original at all. Apparently he’s the one who built the 1st kitt. We would have heard something about him I think. Pretty much most of kitt was built in different pieces by different ppl in the original so that no one person knew all his systems. Bonnie and April prolly knew more then any one, and even they didn’t know every part. In this one, there is no Knight industries, there is no FLAG(foundation for law and government), and for some reason everything is being handled by the FBI. Graison really had built the 1st kitt for knight industries and flag, they name kitt makes since. But if you were going to build a new high tech crime fighting car for the FBI, why would you call it kitt? i just think it was a bit contrived to call the new car kitt. so the new kitt has some pretty cool powers. It’s still bullet proof, but in a different way. It’s now got nano tech that rearranges it’s self. This makes for high speed modification (throwing back to the 4th series of the original) and camouflage in addition to being bullet proof, although this was a bit to viper like for me. But it’s not bullet proof if the computer is turned off. Of course the 1st episode they had to have kitt being hacked and had to turn off the computer. This made the bullet proof not work. I think this is stupid as kitt 1 had molecular bonding that made him indestructible. The only explanation I have for this is that the formula was lost. They could have mentioned that though some how. They also seemed to just totally thrown out the knight rider 2000 movie as well as the team knight rider series. I would have liked to seen them explain both of those as canon and still make it fit with the plot. Then we get to the new Michael. Michael Knight just happens to have a son who just happens to have been a kick ass ranger and drag racer. I think they could have just gotten some one new or if they wanted to tie in, make be like Bonnie’s son or Devin’s grandson or something. So this new Michael grow up not knowing is father and they might for the 1st time at his mothers funeral. I think they would have meet before this time 1st of all even if they did have to be hidden away for there safety. 2nd, the dialog was SO completely not what father would be telling his long lost son. It was just so stupid I almost decided that this show was completely stupid. They could have just left David out of this whole thing I think. So the end was completely set up to be a series of course which is cool. They were filming inside a transport that was suppose to look like the inside of the old flag semi truck, but they it’s revealed that it’s a large airplane. This is cool and the idea is taken straight from team knight rider, so maybe there’s a small chance they will mention it down the line or something. We can only hope.
