The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

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

what were they thinking? this film was quickly lost in the sea of forgetfulness -- there is a very,very good reason for that. The special effect are terrible, the acting is very bad. the story is extremely dull. there are real action scenes. but the girls are cute. the women in this are pretty hot and look very sexy in those skin-tight outfits, and that is the only good thing i can say about this movie - 1 out of 10 stars

Okay, I wanted to see this movie for one reason and ONLY one reason: Lately Marvel comic books have been reincarnating their works that have already been adapted to screen and will continue to do it (There is yet a third Fantastic Four movie in development), I decided to look at the first Nick Fury incarnation because I want to compare it to the recent, more well known Samuel L Jackson incarnation. Needless to say, this one is inferior.David Hasselhoff's performance as Nick was rather tiring, he could not act the part of Nick Fury (An expected turn), but surprisingly he is not the worst actor in the film. The worst actor in the film is Sandra Hess, the main antagonist, This has her doing an over-the-top performance with an unconvincing German accent. Needless to say I was rooting for Fury to kill her NOT because of the writing.Now onto the writing, David Goyer has done some pretty good work, even by this point. But this time round (although he is not entirely to blame with this movie) it was sub-par in comparison, it was like a low-budget B-movie with a villain with cheesy material. He was doing better material for Blade and therefore made me jump to the conclusion he cared more about Blade than he did about this.So in my opinion this is only worth the watch if you are a Nick Fury fan (of which I am not, I just don't find him that interesting as a character) or want to see how Marvel Comics has improved over 14 years with this character.

This movie received a lot of flack, and it's not all undeserved. Yes, Andra Hess is an absolutely terrible actress who can't resist camping up the series and turning Hydra into a complete parody as opposed to a legitimate threat. Yes, the story could have used a bit more work. But where this film got things right, it REALLY got them right.The Agents of SHIELD are all well-cast and did great work in their roles. But I want to bring special attention to David Hasselhoff. The man gets a lot of flack for his performance in the role and I think a lot of that is just because he's David Hasselhoff. But in truth, this is probably the finest performance of his career. Hasselhoff nails not only the look, but the personality of Nick Fury and he looks like he stepped right out of a Steranko comic.It really is a shame that Hasselhoff's performance and potential future as Nick Fury was completely overshadowed both by his own reputation and by the bad elements of the film. Given a proper villain in the form of a well-cast, well-written Baron Strucker, this would have been an incredible telefilm that would have led into an amazing television series.
