Knight Rider 2008 Review

---So the New Knight Rider was on last night. It was not so bad, over all it gets a 'C'. As a plot movie, they had to take a lot of time to just introduce all the characters, so there was not much plot or story. Evil warriors for hire trying to take over the world has been done to death...but guess they needed a easy bad guy(s).
-K.I.T.T.-now he is a diffrent car and computer and all. He has fancy nanites that fix him up in seconds and let him change colors and make a tail fin. He can also make cell phone calls, uses GPS, satalitie up-links, and hacks other computers. That's it though. I missed no Turbo Boost.
-Mike-He is an ex-ranger who knows lots of women. The movie did not make it clearwhy he was the lone knight. He of course has a 'thing' for the female co-star.
-Sara-your standard attractive super smart woman.
-F.B.I. Lady-well shw was on the show and is a lesbian.
-Garage buddy-the guy on the show for comical stuff.

--Plot Oversights--
-So the old guy had no security for his computer program that can destroy the world? Sure he lost power...but he had a back-up. And no robot guards? And why no emergency escape plan? And why did he not have even a cell phone?
-The daughter looks a bit young to be a proffessor?
-Once they all meet up at the motel...they just stand around and get caught. They knew the bad guys were there...yet they still stood around.
-How did the daughter turn K.I.T.T. back on? Did she even know about the car? The show is a bit unclear here...was she not talking to her dad or were they working together on the car?
-The cops sure show up seconds after the big crash.
-Why did Michale Knight have to go 'away'?

--Equipment Oddities--
-The chase is odd. You have K.I.T.T. a multi-million dollar super car. Lets say he can go even just 100 miles and hour(though 300 is also possible). How do the bad guys stay in the chase? They are in a normal car. Normal cars can't even go 100 mph+. And then there is the matter of control on the crazt mountain roads. You don't get much control at 100 mph...and you have to slow down at turns.or your flip or worse. Yet...the bad guys easly chase K.I.T.T.
-Even after 25 years...K.I.T.T. still has no weapons. OK so the creator is a peace loving guy and all....but there are tons of non-lethal stuff he could have. Sonics would be a good choice
-So the car needs the nanites to be bulletproof? That's odd. The old tyme car was just normal bulletproof
-How did K.I.T.T. absorb the impact of the crash. Sure the nanites fix the car....but how did the car stay on the road? What fancy technology could make the tires stick to the road? Nanite treads?
-So the new K.I.T.T. drops out of a plane. OK...guess that works...but where to you land the huge cargo plane in the first place. People kind of notice huge cargo planes. And unless the plane will just circle in the air all the time...it can only land at air ports. That makes it easy for the bad guys to find you.

--Sad Signs--
-The love between the daughter and Michale. Sigh..it's just an over done plot.
-They use the 'we can't figure out how to end the story, so we get the good guys caught' horrable plot cheat.
-When they esacpe we get the weak daughter stop Michale from killing the bad guys.
-Mom gets killed for no reason.
-Michale races after the bad guys to get vengance for his mom's death......and does nothing.

--Well, let see if it becomes a show
