A Mix of the first 2 Punishers.

Where The Punisher (04) was a really good movie and Punisher adaptation (for 90% of it), this is more of a step backwards into the first Punisher movie with Dolph Lundgren. This one does the comic justice (for the most part) but manages to become more like the low budget action films of the 80's, Though, we lose the good movie screenplay, we gain a deal of fun mindless action at the same time. Thomas Jane IS the Punisher. Nothing against Ray, but no one can really top Jane. Also, this is the most gruesome and brutal of the series, thus far....... and I'm not complaining. While there are some script issues and the film is presented in a less serious manner, there is still tons of action and fun to be had watching it.

Great action and tons of blood

I think this is the best Punisher yet! Okay, well that doesn't say very much unless you love action movies. If you do love action movies then this is a fun one. Lots of blood, guts, explosions, head blowing off and a fast moving story line.

Like most comic book movies the villain was pretty one-dimensional and over-the-top but that didn't take away from my enjoyment. Sure I would love to see a Punisher movie that was more like the new Batman series, almost believable, but I wasn't disappointed with the cheese in this movie.

On the Defensive

Okay I'm going to have to defend this movie until the bitter end. First off I'm a huge punisher fan and that says most of it right there. Warzone is over the top and the action is brutally good fun. This movie is not for everyone, in fact unless you're a fan of the character you probably won't like it. Punisher is not without its faults. Some of the "one liners" in the film are not what i would call great. To its defense, its not meant to make you think and its not going to change the world. Just sit down and have fun with what it does offer. Lots of bodys, bullets, and brutality. Look at the bright side, it's not Dolph Lundgren.

INSANELY violent. but awesome.

Closer to the Marvel Comics source, this film marks the third time that The Punisher comes to the big screen. With previous verisons starring Dolph Lundgren and Thomas Jane. This movie is slightly better than those were. The extreme violence and sadistic dark humor is very satisfying. Also fans of hardcore action cinema will enjoy it. I liked everything about this movie. The filmmakers were right to make the film so over-the-top. Why make a stipped down PG-13 version of a film about a semi-insane vigilante who murders criminals? Thats more upsetting than the spraying of blood on display here.

Ray Stevenson is easily great to watch in the lead role. Dominic West (best known for his work on The Wire)does a good job as the mutilated villain. Punisher: War Zone is going to appeal to a very...
