  Profiles 50 - The Nick Fury Formula (Dec 2001)
Nick Fury, an infantry sergeant in Silver Age comics about the Second World War, came to pull a second shift in comics, dragging most of his hide, an endless stream of smelly cigars, and a chutzpah that brought him, alive, out of the European Theater of Operations in the 1940s.
Nick Fury treatments worth noticing begin with the premise of dangerous geopolitical forces that, but for the exceptional efforts of heroic men, might wash over our civilization like a tidal wave and carry away those elements we consider fundamental virtues of our culture, including, but not limited to, liberty, prosperity, and our national identity.
Nick Fury, in both the Sergeant and Colonel versions, belonged among a number of heroes that we recognize as meaning business once we see that someone or something has shredded their shirts.

 Movie Review | Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.D. (1998) David Hasselhoff, Lisa Rinna
In the movie, Nick Fury (David Hasselhoff) returns to S.H.I.E.L.D. after a five-year retirement to stop the menace of Viper (Sandra Hess), the evil daughter of Hydra leader Baron Von Strucker, who is plotting to release a deadly virus that will wipe out the population of Manhattan.
The most notable thing about "Nick Fury" is that it is an early work by David S. Goyer ("Blade" and "Blade 2"), who produces a well-written and fairly imaginative script by providing plenty of dramatic tension while still remaining respectful of Fury's comic book origins.
As it is, "Nick Fury" is good for comic book fans that've been yearning to see their hero in flesh and blood, and need something to tide them over until a better film comes along.

Nick Fury: Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. is not a truly hateful movie like Barb Wire or Albert Pyun’s Captain America, but being a largely-forgotten footnote in comic book movie history is a fate it richly deserved.

He also gets some Mastermind near the end of his dial; he is, after all, a good leader and knows when it’s important to let his men take the hit for him.

Fury wasn't the only established Marvel character to work with S.H.I.E.L.D. Captain America, Iron Man and The Black Widow were affiliated with the organization at various times over the years, and The Yellow Claw, Marvel's 1950s version of Fu Manchu, became a recurring villain (if that counts as "working with").
Still, Fury and his agency lurk constantly in the background of the Marvel Universe.

Nick Fury should be brought to the screen in the vein of the Jason Bourne and Jack Ryan movies: lean, gritty, no-nonsense spy thrillers grounded in realism even as they embrace the fantastic.
I want to see a Nick Fury movie that adheres to the basic idea of a grizzled, somewhat disillusioned but determined soldier-spy leading the fight against the subersive organization HYDRA.
Mel Gibson as Nick Fury: After initially considering Viggo Mortensen, Robert De Niro and George Clooney for the title role, I settled on Mad Mel because, although he's too short for the character, I'd buy him as a man who'd be impassioned enough to lead a (one-man, if necessary) crusade.
