Saw Punisher:War Zone last night. All I can say is they finally got it right. This is the type of Punisher movie that should have been made all along. Very Graphic I might add as well. IMO all four comic movies this year (Iron Man, Incedibile Hulk, TDK and Punisher) were very good. Guess we only have Wolverine next year.


I'd have to disagree on this one. I think Punisher should be graphic but this was way over the top. There was so much violence there was practically no story.
Some ok moments but overall I actually think I like the Tom Jane version a bit better.

Yeah right Thomas Jane was the moody whiny Punisher. That crap with the people in the apartment building was completely not in the spirit of the comics. Have you ever cracked open a Punisher comic? This movie hit the nail on the head. Frank Castle is a killer plain and simple.

"Way to violent" ... The man uses guns to dispense justice....Ray Stevenson is much the same way to the Punisher as Christan Bale is to Batman, that is playing the character the way the comic is written. To violent...WOW!!! But I do respect your opinion on it, a couple of those scenes were intense for sure.

Intense violence wasn't the problem, it was the amount of it. At least the Tom Jane version had an attempt at a larger story.
I mean it was just one big bloodfest. Even the grandma got her head blown off.
Like I said, I'm all for a more violent punisher, and while this new punisher was great at portraying him, I think it's still possible to take Punisher over the top.
The character can still be out for dead justice without every killing having people explode, blow apart and blood running in gushing fountains.
I saw it with four others, one was a huge Punisher fan. He also felt the same way.
I'm not stopping anyone from liking the movie, but this wasn't my favorite.
For me, it's as if they went from not having enough violence and grit in the other version, so they went a complete 180 on this film and made it a total bloody mess.
That might have been what some wanted but I feel there was a balance they could have had while still keeping the raw edge.

Saw the "Wolverine" Trailer last night. It looks pretty sweet. Next Summer is gonna be a great movie season for sure.

I personally think thats awesome
Despite Jackson being like 60.. he still looks and acts much younger

And I really disagree with the comments on that website... Jackson is a really good actor and I think he can pull of this role really well.
