Movie Reviews of Nick KnightMovie Review: Decent, but Give Me "Forever Knight" Summary: 3 Stars
"Nick Knight" is a cool movie to have and own. It is one that fans of the TV series will want, but it isn't as good as the Ger Davies TV series. There is no Natalie, Janette is unattractive and LaCroix is no where near as cool as he is when played by Nigel. It's not only those shallow points, but there is just no chemistry between the cast and characters. Janette and Nick seem like enemies, and there is no real sense of hate towards LaCroix for becoming a vampire. The entire movie just has a different feel.
The music, I have to admit, is quite good if you like the music from the decade. These were songs I knew very well, so it was enjoyable to hear them in the movie. Overall, fans will want to see this movie, but those who aren't fans may actually like it more. You just can't beat the relationships the characters have on the TV series, and it is obviously missing here-even compared to the "Forever Knight" version of this movie.
Movie Review: above average made-for-TV vampire movie Summary: 3 Stars
I think that the "Nick Knight" pilot is an underrated made-for-TV movie. In some respects I like it better than the series that followed (although the series LaCroix, Nigel Bennett, was superior). Ultimately both this pilot and the series were great ideas with mediocre execution, but even so, bot hare worth checking out if you like vampires. At least it tried to do something different (for the time it was made). I also recommend Susan Sizemore's "Stirring of Dust" novel, based on characters from the series.
Movie Review: Enterntaining Enough Summary: 3 Stars
I love Rick Springfield and his work, though I do have to say that I'm glad they replaced Rick with Gerraint Wynn Davies when TV Show was done, Gerraint was way more believable a vampire than Rick was not too mention the guy who played Lacriox was horrible Thank God for Nigel Bennett who totally owned that role.
But all in all it was alright, it was nice to see how the cult classic began.
Movie Review: Great Movie...But Scenes Are Missing! Summary: 3 Stars
It's sad that Anchor Bay "cropped" or cut scenes from this movie. The part when Nick FINALLY gets the gobblet, or the scene where his curator/girlfriend is a vampire (made by LaCroix), atop Nick's roof glaring down at him in his loft, growling, with her vampire teeth. There's about 2/3 more scenes like those "missing" fromthis movie. Tsk-Tsk...What a shame too.
Movie Review: Pilot movie for Forever Knight series Summary: 3 Stars
I saw this movie on TV long before the Forever Knight series first aired. If you're a fan of the TV series, you'll like this DVD as a compare-and-contrast exercise to the first 2 episodes of the TV show. If you like vampire stories, it's better than most. If you're looking for a great movie, you won't find it here. But it is entertaining, humorous and fun.
