Punisher: Warzone

Thanks to Kemal bringing this up and The Return's post for this here:
http://horror.com/forum/showthread.php?t=35538&page=3

I am officially dying to see this movie. I think this is going to be the 300 of this Holiday season for me... It promises to be intensely violent and graphic, which is what i persoannly loved about the punisher series (though, like Iron man, its one i rarely read)

and to save you a trip, the is what the evil penguin posted:

Watch it and tell me you arent stoked....

I'm just going to repeat myself - this looks like it could be one of the most badass action movies in a long time.

I haven't read many Punisher comics, but from what I can tell, Jigsaw sounds like a fucking awesome villain. Hardly shows him in the trailer, but what we get to see looks pretty sweet.

Looks like an unpredictable psycopath. Kind of looked like Heath Ledger's Joker, Minus the subtlety.

Jigsaw is one of the more fucked up punisher villains.
Really just, mental in a bad way...just quite smart with a lot of resources too...but absolutely crazy.
Although, the punisher hasnt had the best run of films, not holding my breathe.

Regarding Jigsaw: Cool :)


As far as the movie, it has nothign to do with Dolph Lundgren, Lou Gosset Jr, Rebecca Romijn, or anythign else from the last few punisher movies, so my hopes are high.

I liked the Lundgren version...even being the casual fan that I am I could tell that it butchered the source material, but I still found it enjoyable as a fairly mindless action flick.

The Tom Jane version was just bland...Travolta wasn't much of a villain and there wasn't nearly enough violence.

I've got high hopes for this one - fingers crossed.

The Dolph Lundgren healmed Punisher flick was great. It really captured the early comics style for me. Didn't think much of the second outing... it was really fuckin' weak. This one could be mean as fuck especially if its anything like the last Rambo film.

Yeh I don't see why it gets so much shit. The female Yakuza boss is a great villain and really reminds me of Lucy Liu's character in Kill Bill perhaps one of many of Tarantino's homages in the film?

I'm thinking it's another case of dissing the flick because of the actor. Probably why a bunch of great Van Damme and Seagal flicks are panned in the same way.
