The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The children of the former Hydra head, Baron Von Stucker, have taken charge of the terrorist organization. Under the lead of his vicious daughter, Viper, Hydra has seized a deadly virus and threatens the destruction of America. The covert agency SHIELD brings Fury out of retirement to fight the terrorists. Nick Fury: Agent of Shield is a laughably bad 1998 TV Movie starring David Hasselhoff as Fury and even tho he kinda looks cool his acting says otherwise. Most of the movie is also choppy with people screaming infront of a camera or just giant heads floating around in monitors and just a freaking weird plot that is even loosely based on the character. Stick with Sam Jackson's Fury. (0/10)

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 just caught this and I have to say, it was on spot with the Marvel comics. David Hasselhoff did a great job as Nick Fury, the only problem was not enough gray hair for a "retired" Fury. This was done when comic book movies were not take very seriously. The movie was made almost 20 years ago.The henchmen looked like they dropped out of a clone vat. There was basically two flavors; a bald man with dark glasses in a business suit or the masked soldier, with a red HYDRA arm band. The henchmen seemed a little too cartoonish.One flaw I blame on the writers is the scene where Viper poisons Nick is just too obvious a trap. It was overt and needed to be more subtle than how they did it.The special effects was much better than I expected for a late 90's made for TV show. The "Hellcarrier" design was appropriate for the time. The props and sets were well thought out. Overall a great TV show for its time.

Marvel's hard-boiled hero (David Hasselhoff) is brought to TV. He is brought back to fight the menace of Hydra after exiling himself in the Yukon since the end of the Cold War. The children of the former Hydra head, Baron Von Stucker, have taken charge of the terrorist organization.I did not expect much from this one. A made-for-TV movie starring David Hasselhoff that never made it to DVD... that should be a series of red flags that scream "terrible movie". But I figured it would be entertaining -- not good, but bad enough to be fun. Instead, it was just bad.Hasselhoff did alright and actually looks a lot like Nick Fury (with all due respect to Samuel L. Jackson, who now ones the role). The general plot was good. The effects were weak (but not awful). The biggest mystery is Sandra Hess' voice -- she was born in Switzerland, but has no ability whatsoever to have a German accent.Watching this with two non-comic book fans made another shortcoming abundantly clear: the film did not adequately explain what Hydra or SHIELD were. I know because I grew up reading comics, but within the film it is not very obvious who is who and what is what. I am also unclear about Baron von Strucker being born in 1932... that makes him a bit young to be a Nazi serving alongside Hitler.
