Punisher: Warzone

[Vodstok]

A lot of action movies get panned because the acting is often terrible and the plots are either cookie-cutter, or non existant. I think that is why a lot of people say they suck. I mean, look at commando, the acting was ALL terrible. Even veterans with a great track record like Dan Hedaya was terrible. The plot was razor thin, and most of what happens in it is just over-the-top bullshit.

But its a classic, because we dont watch them for any of the things i listed. Commando is great because Arnie was in his heyday and killed a BUNCH of people. Dolph has had some decent movies. I Come in Peace was fun. A lot of people hoped for more from his Punisher, but in his defense, there wasnt a single good comic book movie until the 90s when movies like The Crow came out.

I think Warzone will succeed, even if most of it sucks, because it is going to be relentless, graphic violence.


However, after this past summer, i have a great deal of faith in Marvel Studios

Its a pity that they changed the villian to John Travoltas one in the Jane film - the original version was way cooler..

I like Ray Stevenson (well in Rome anyway) but I don't hold much for it after seeing the trailer. The hanging upside down bit is silly and the suit he wears looks weird..

I'd love too see it really mean spirited like MAN ON FIRE which is the way the Punisher should be.

They already made a Punisher movie that was twice as long as it should have been...didnt you watch the Tom Jane version?

All I got to say is it better be violent, as that's how I remember all my Punisher comics. And does anyone think the trailer looks kinda Max Payne-ish?

From mania.com:

After some rumor and speculation that the new 'Punisher: War Zone' movie would be some namby-pamby PG-13 movie for the kids, the MPAA has handed-down its rating for the film.

The movie is officially rated "R" for pervasive strong brutal violence, language and some drug use.

There you go, Punisher fans. Not just violence. Not just brutal violence. Not just strong brutal violence. Pervasive strong brutal violence!

So the movie is basically a lot of horribly brutal killings...

I knew it was going to be good :)

Lets just hope they change the rating to PG-13 :rolleyes:

Pervasive, huh? Sounds promising. I like the new look with the subdued death's head. I'll be first in line for this one.

I couldn't agree more with everything you just said. The Punisher from 89 was fucking awesome, action packed.

That trailer was fucking awesome, holy shit. put it on my top 5 for most anticipated.
its good to see a director who isnt too much of a pussy to put some goddamn violence in a movie for christ sake!
