Good movie but not if you are a Nick Fury Fan

Rating: 3/10 (23 May 2014)

I appreciate that a movie made in 2014 must be updated to correspond to current times (maybe) and attention should be paid to the interests of 2014 viewers, but as a reader of the comics when they were first released, (I used to SUBSCRIBE to Daredevil, Spider-Man, Strange Tales and Tales of Suspense) and one whose #1 favorite Marvel character was Nick Fury, I just do not understand why Nick Fury has been progressively changed from a powerful, principled, direct-acting figure in the Silver Age to an un-trustable clerk throughout all the Marvel movies. For example, the Nick Fury I grew up with would have never been portrayed looking sheepishly at people who were defying and dismissing him. Good grief, they even took the Howling Commandos away from him.
I remember when David Hasselhoff portrayed Nick Fury in a 1998 TV movie. True fans dismissed the movie as a weak adaptation. I viewed it again recently, and any five minutes of that movie are more dead-on than the combined entire Avengers franchise's portrayal of Nick Fury.
Well finally he's been "killed" in the story. The only positive I can see of his treatment in the films is that perhaps now that he is "dead", maybe they will leave him alone and not ruin the character further. You know, all they had to do was portray J. Jonah Jameson with an eye-patch and a gun, and they would have been far more accurate.
On balance, Captain America is portrayed well, adjusting for updates and the directors' obvious anti-NSA bias. So I gave it three stars. Would have given the movie five, but they stole the Howling Commandos and gave them to Cap.
