SoTrumpBelieve Must See Movie...

Megamind To all those who have watched it: I hope you enjoyed it as much as I do.

Abbigail Bush what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews I have honestly not read all that much about S.H.I.E.L.D.(though I wouldn't mind doing so), but I would wager that those in charge of this haven't, either. They certainly don't manage to raise the characters presented in this above base stereotypes by endowing them with a shred of actual personality, make this anything more than a forgettable, unintentionally campy and cheesy B-grade action-flick or treat the medium of comic books with greater respect than Schumacher did, or that Batman got on TV in the 60's. So, Nick comes out of retirement to combat bad deeds, in the form of hideously overdone German accents(so thick that one has to be in awe of the... sigh... actors' ability to actually deliver lines without choking), as spoken in by the villains, with pure evil particularly being incarnated in Andrea, who has a serious fixation on her pinkie, and Werner's eyes that were cast primarily because they come off as being up to no good. All four of them ham it up enough to cause the entire vegetarian population worldwide to stand up and protest. How will the continually grumbling Hasselhoff ever defeat such wrong-doers? Don't worry. He's got Lisa Rinna, Rex Buckland and I Can't Believe It's Not James Earl Jones backing him up. You don't need depth perception to realize the sheer enormous amount of clichés in this(they may very well succeed in fitting every single one of them in). The plot is standard. Casting varies, David wasn't the worst possible choice. Fights and the like are relatively dull. This is mostly predictable. The effects are unimpressive. You get to see the Albatross... in fact, they were so proud of the one or two passes they did on it, they kept showing us that whenever an image of said vessel might help. Don't forget, in a movie put together by blind people, the one-eyed man will be spared at least some of the horror. Fox... why? There is relatively moderate and infrequent language, and violence and sexuality are similarly mild. I recommend this to those who must watch every single one of these, as well as anyone who wishes to MST3K it. 1/10

verbusen 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.

krautvaffen I've never been a big fan of superhero comics, but I still try to keep an open mind about them. I have read very little but still enough about Nick Fury, and I must say that they could have made a worse choice then to let Hasslehoff play the title role. If you haven't read any of the comics you will miss out on some of the stuff in the movie, but considering it is mainly one-liners to empathize how bad of an ass Fury is it's not much. The dialog feels pretty tame, as if the script writers were on a very limited time and had to come up with something quick. But the actors does a good job to take it all serious, can't blame the actors for a bad script. There are, of course, plot holes or just unrealistic stupidity with the plot. I think most people want more from a villain then just "Oh I'm going to terrorize the world with my global terrorist organization because I am evil! Did I also mention terrorism?" which is all background story we are handed over about the bad guys in this movie.However, I would like to point out that Sandra Hess as the crazy evil lady villain is damn sexy and should have gone for a career of fascist sexploitation films instead, and watching this movie is worth it for her alone.

sol **SOME SPOILERS** Having been put out to pasture in the wilds of the Yukon wilderness by S.H.I.E.L.D, an ultra super secret US espionage agency, after the fall of the Soviet Union former top agent unshaven cigar chomping and all around slob Nick Fury, David Hesselhoff, gets a surprise visit from two members of that agency Alexander Goodwin Pierce, Neil Roberts, and his former girlfriend Valentina De Contessa, now that's a mouthful, better known as Val played by Lisa Rinna.A former Nazi bigwig Baron Wolfgang Von Strucker, Campbell Lane, who had almost killed Nick, causing Nick to lose his left eye, some time ago is being brought back from the dead by his two evil kids the villainous and crafty Andera Von Strucker code name Viper and her somewhat dimwitted younger brother Werner, Scott Heindl. Nick a guy who doesn't take any bull from anyone and who's motto is "Either my way or the highway" gets back into action when he finds out that Viper was responsible for the death of his close friend agent Clay Quantermain, Adrian Hughes. Nick and both Pierce and S.H.I.E.L.D mind-reading agent Kate Naville, Tracy Waterhouse, go to Berlin to get in touch with Interpol agent Gayle Runsador and get to a secret safe-house for a very important meeting. The agency's, S.H.I.E.L.D, head man Director General Pincer, Tom McBeath, want's to have Kate read the mind of former Nazi scientist Dr. Zolar's, Peter Hayworth, a top honcho of the evil Hydra group that the Von Strucker's are in control of and see just what he and his cohorts are up to in their sinister plans to take over the both civilized and uncivilized world.It later turns out that this whole scheme to get Zolar to open up his mind and talk,or think, was a plot hatched by Hydra in order to locate, with the unwitting help of S.H.I.E.L.D, and rescue him from Nick & Co. with Agent Runsador turning out to be non-other then he evil and murderous Viper. Viper then infected an unsuspecting Nick Fury by biting him in the neck with a lethal dose of South American Yellow Dart Frog venom, the most lethal poison on earth, that in less then 48 hours would end up killing him.It's a race against time as Nick and S.H.I.E.L.D try to find out just where Dr. Zola's and the Von Strucker's, or Hydra Gang, are planing to unleash this new and deadly virus called the "Death Head" that can wipe out the entire population of the United States. With Nick's chances of surviving the deadly Viper bite almost nil S.H.I.E.L.D's top scientist Gareriel Jones, Ron Canada, comes up with a possible antidote that can save Nick's life, if he get's it in time. The antidote has to be developed and drawn from the blood of the person who put Nick into this almost helpless condition in the first place, the only person on earth immune from it Viper.The movie lumbers along with a both drunk-looking and acting Nick screwing up everything that he touches and almost getting his fellow S.H.I.E.L.D agents,Pierce & Kate Neville as well as ex-girlfriend Valentina, killed due to his mindless self serving and almost suicidal behavior. Nick knows that he doesn't have long to live, or so he thought, so why should he care about anyone else, like those working with him, who do. Despite Nick's bumbling the Hydra Gang is so inept and clumsy, especially young and brainless Werner Von Strucker, that in the end he prevents them from destroying downtown Manhattan with a battery or "Death Head" virus loaded rockets. Nick does that by getting the code to abort their mission with the help of mind reading agent Neville from non-other then the evil Viper, who was captured by Nick & Co., herself and also getting a sample of her blood to save his life.The ending has Viper again escaping from Nick together with her frozen stiff and dead father the Baron and ending up on the other side of the world. As the movie finally ends we get a hint of things to come with Baron Von Stucker, now alive and kicking, and Viper threatening both the world and audience that it and those of us watching this utterly mind-boggling flick haven't seen the last of them. With some eight years after the release of the movie "Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D" we can in a way consider ourselves lucky but our luck is soon to run out. There's another Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D movie, hopefully not staring David Hesselhoff, due to be released sometime in 2007 or 2008! God Help Us All!
