Review of Knight Rider (2008) by Iskra S — 25 Mar 2008
I went into this expecting to hate it (as a huge childhood fan of Knight Rider) and I actually truly enjoyed it. The journey of Mike Traceur from disillusionment to finding his calling felt authentic. I found that (for me) KITT had just enough changes to update him for the 21st century without betraying the past.
His voice was maddening, but I believe that was intentional. I loved the little touches of the original music, and the ending scene with KITT deploying on his first mission was, I feel, the perfect blend of homage to the original and updated approach.
On my wishlist for inclusion would have been the fate of the original KITT - I really wanted to see him driving away from the cemetery in the background.
