Jane sucked as Punisher, this flick looks much better, we'll see if it's better than Dolph's though...

So you were purplepee

On the Avengers villain topic...I'm betting it'll be some kind of team-up of the major villains from each franchise. Look at it...neither Iron Man or Incredible Hulk used the character's definitive villain (Mandarin and Leader), but gave them some degree of an introduction (Order of the Ten Rings, Sterns' accident).

Supposedly, Branagh doesn't want to use Loki in his Thor movie either - I freely admit that this comes from an IMDB thread, not a reputable source - so it looks like they're trying to bring 'em all in at once.

That'd mean someone like Baron Zemo instead of Red Skull for the Cap movie, which could be cool.

Once they get all these characters established with one or two films apiece, I'll be looking forward to a Secret Wars film. Easily one of the best Marvel storylines ever. (Not Secret Wars 2 though, that sucked.)

I think I heard Mandarin will be in Iron Man 2, which is set to come out before The Avengers, I believe.

[bwind22]

Iron Man 2 is definitely scheduled ahead of Avengers. Mandarin would be cool.

I just read on wikipedia that Mandarin is scheduled to be in Iron Man 2, although it is wikipedia so...you know.

as of 11:26 AM EST, Rotten Tomatoes gave Punisher Warzone a 15%.

The funny thing is, the negative reviews make me want to see it more than the positive. Example:

The premise is so awful it veers toward sublime: the angry white guy kills everyone.

This one is my favorite and completely sold me on seeing this:

Punisher: War Zone is 100 minutes of people getting shot in the face - bad Italian stereotypes, non-existent narrative, and people getting shot in the face

Punisher: War Zone is 100 minutes of people getting shot in the face - bad Italian stereotypes, non-existent narrative, and people getting shot in the face

This was amazingly accurate, and I have to ask: Whats the problem?

The narrative isnt non-existent, just not terribly thick. Again, have you seen the comic?

"Frank castle shoots people and blows shit up"

Lets hear it for Women's Lib!


I didnt realize this until i watched an "Exclusive clip" on google videos and saw Lexi Alexander, but the blood orgy of awesomeness and violence that is Punisher War Zone was directed by a woman!

Now, there have been plenty of asskicking movies made by women, but I would have thought the level of rage channeled through this would have been from a guy who ate anabolic steroids like skittles, but apparently good ol' fashioned estrogen did the trick ;)

Lexi Alexander is the Ellen Ripley of filmmaking :)
