I bought 'Knight Rider: Season One' on DVD and enjoyed it well enough. The theme music was awesome as I remember it being and there was certainly enough 80's cheese and style in there that it still retained it's nostalgia for me. The bonus disc for season one was 'Knight Rider 2000' and I was actually looking forward to watching it (I had never seen it)...
...let me just say that if you are on the very edge of contemplating suicide and need one last reason to end it all, watch this movie. There's a real unintentional tragedy surrounding the whole thing - we don't get to see the old KITT, there's no trace of the theme music, there's hardly ANY action, the new KITT-car is TERRIBLE-looking, and the film is filled with that early 90's gloss that so many early 90's films were injected with - there's no sense of self-parody and it's taken all too seriously.
There was something actually kind of cool about Jan Hammer's music in this (he's probably best known for doing Miami Vice) - especially the 'main' theme that plays during the end credits. It certainly doesn't match the original, but it does captures the sense of unintentional desolation, emptiness, and tragedy the movie will evoke in the viewer.

The only reason I came across this film was in a search for movies starring Angie Harmon (a prior obsession). From the reviews I read the story actually seemed interesting with the potential to be quite moving, so I decided to buy it..
. and I've never been so moved and touched by a story in my life. I'm a 21 year old male who found himself brought to tears at this film's close.
I'm tempted to talk about specific parts of this movie but for those who haven't seen it, I can only suggest, in the most profound and well-intentioned way possible, that you take the time to find this movie and watch it for yourself.

Mr. Carpenter atmospheric director and brilliant music man what made you decide to make this movie? What were you trying to accomplish here?? Did you really think that the children with glowing eyes were scary??? What were we meant to take from this debacle???? Why am I writing a review that's so negative about a John Carpenter movie????? I'm sorry - this movie wasn't scary, thrilling, entertaining, or thought-provoking. I felt a dread at the very beginning of this movie when the music started playing and it didn't feel like Carpenter music. I felt even worse a few moments later when the shadow moved over the landscape very poor.
I'm really sorry Mr. Carpenter I didn't think I still had the capacity for such cruelty. Ghosts of Mars' was better than this (and I want to say Vampires,' but I still haven't seen all of that yet).
