Nick FuryAgent of S.H.I.E.L.D.
Dir: Rod Hardy
1998
**
Marvel made quite a few stinkers before they finally got their act together with Iron Man but to be fair, Nick FuryAgent of S.H.I.E.L.D. could have been a hell of a lot worse. David Hasselhoff is actually pretty good as Nick Fury and much of what you see in the classic comic is here. I particularly liked the inclusion of the LMDs (Life Model Decoys), something Marvel haven't really used in their Avengers films. The acting is fairly terrible but the story isn't so bad, mainly thanks to it being written by the go-to Superhero writer David S. Goyer. Some of the special effects are awesome and it was nice to see so little CGI for a change. It's old school 'straight to video' b-movie stuff, not great but also loads of fun.
