Marvel Comics seems to take its products in one of two different cinematic directions: high quality film-making and made-for-TV crap. What does David Hasselhoff’s presence in the lead suggest about which direction they chose here? And that really broke my heart. I was a big fan of Sgt. Fury and His Howling Commandos when I was a kid, and I remember liking his espionage reincarnation as well. A lot of what was appealing about the comics was their comic-ness, so I’m not sure a better movie could have been made out of them. But then, I would have thought the same thing about Spider-man. And in any event, I would have liked for them to have at least tried. See if desperate
Media criticism. Pop culture snark. And movie reviews. Lots and lots of movie reviews.
