What to say about the movie where David Hasselhoff is the brightest point ... At first glance, compared to this, "Baywatch" looks like Oscar material. It has typical S.H.I.E.L.D. story, but it is linear, undeveloped and without surprises. Characterization is nonexistent, characters are two-dimensional and without background. And I better not even mention special effects. Still, David is visually impressive and, his over-acting aside, good fit for this role, and movie has decent atmosphere that somewhat leaves comic-book impression. Bad, but not tragic.4,5/10

I watched this today and it was a cool flick. I saw it on Encore commercial free. It was not too tongue in cheek and had some death in it, so it wasn't A-Team excrement. To me a decent balance, it probably didn't get picked up because it had hot chicks in it and some death so they couldn't target it as family fare, and as you see here on IMDb.com, fan-boys despise this movie for some reason. I think that all comes about from a few posting things to look "cool", and a mass following so they are "cool" also. I mean, commenting on a comic book movie is never going to be cool, so I don't need to worry about that. Maybe its the newer gen of younger Marvel fans, they don't know what us middle aged fans went through and why I came up with a good rating for this film. Ever grow up watching the 60's animated Marvel shows, and that was all you could see, not something you picked up on youtube for nostalgia kicks? Ever watch the Spiderman or Captain America live action stuff that Marvel put out in the 70's, again because that's all you had? This movie is LIGHT YEARS from those POS examples. The thing that kept it all going were the comic books, I would get like 20 titles a month, it was ridiculous. A lot of it was smeg like two in ones but then there was Kirby and later Miller who I picked up as stuff from the badly used bin or was lucky enough to have been a subscriber when they made their impacts. OK so anyway, it must be cool to immediately hate Hoff but then why was there so much interest in redoing Knight Rider? Hoff was good, the FX was good, the chicks were hot, people died, Hoff got some action (implied) at the end. Compared to SCi Fi superhero series that got the green light like Robocop and Black Scorpion this one would have been really cool to watch. Too bad you fan boys spoiled it. 7 of 10, good job.

In the 1990's Marvel Comics was in something of a financial strain, and to help themselves out, they would lease the movie and television rights to their characters to whoever had cash on hand right at that moment (because $100 in your pocket is better than $10,000 in pledged money), this resulted in some tough times for the film adventures of the Marvel characters; Captain America and Punisher got direct to video adventures, the Fantastic Four film never saw the light of day, and Nick Fury and Generation X (X-Men spin off) were optioned for series by FOX. Neither one got past the pilot/TV movie stage. That said, of the pre-2000 Marvel film adaptations, Nick Fury is arguably among the best. One can never underestimate the power of the Hoff, and who could care about anything else? The plot, action, and special effects are above average for FOX TV movie, but it's not like they were out to get any Oscars or anything. Once could watch far worse, like Superman Returns.

This was quite simply a complete and utter suck-fest. It sucked out loud, in stereo. David Hasselhoff successfully completed the mission that HYDRA agents have been attempting for years: He brutally murdered Nick Fury.Hasselhoff doesn't even LOOK like Nick Fury. He's white, and he's got brown hair. That's where the similarities end. He doesn't look grizzled, he doesn't look tough, and he doesn't look smart. He is a German Pop-Singer. I really, really hope that they make a good movie for this character, because this one doesn't cut it. Not by a long-shot.As I've been ranting and ripping on this movie for a while now, I will say this: if you want to read some good Nick Fury story lines, try these: Strange Tales #135 - First time Nick Fury is seen with SHIELD. He is elected to lead the organization.Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD - The Jim Steranko stories are amazing, nostalgic fun. Try it out, even if you don't like comics. They're like watching old episodes of "Mission: Impossible" or "the Avengers".Whatever you do, DO NOT take this "movie" as being in any way definitive of the great spy-character known as...Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD
