Hell of a lot more fun than any other comic movies lately. Splattery action. When the guys at work start talking about the story being "worse" than the first one, it's like...you're here for the damn story?

    anytime anyone asks me what my favorite comic books movie is I always answer with this. if any comic book film ever grasped the essence of its material its this one.

    ^disagree 100,000,000%. The very fact that the central conceit revolves around The Punisher accidentally killing an innocent betrays a total lack of understanding for the source material.

This surprised me, not as bad as I thought. Sure a bunch of cheesy characters/writing and a bunch of shit cgi (practical effects please!) but they really got the style and mood of the comic books.

This is a step back from 2004's Punisher; it's boring through-out! Even the action sequences aren't as exciting when compared to The Dark Knight in the same year! Ray Stevenson makes a lifeless Punisher, and it's hard to care since he's barely developed. In fact, none of these characters are developed enough to care! Dominic West chews the scenery as Jigsaw, and it's not the good kind. Third time lucky? I think not!

The Punisher es uno de esos casos en los cuales un popular heroe de los comics habia transitado con escasa fortuna por los senderos del celuloide por falta de un director adecuado. A la entretenida versión protagonizada por Dolph Lundgren de finales de los 80, le siguió aquel otro deleznable vehiculo dizque protagonizado por Thomas Ian Jane, pero ideado exclusivamente para el lucimiento de John Travolta. Como en el caso de Chistopher Nolan y la saga de Batman, el violento personaje de Marvel encontró en la directora Lexi Alexander a la realizadora idonea para trasladar de manera fiel a la pantalla grande las sangrientas aventuras del vengativo personaje: la cinta es un trepidante espectaculo, pletorico en escenas de una estilizada hiperviolencia que la Alexander resuelve con una garra y una solvencia superior a la de muchos de sus colegas masculinos. Obviamente, no hay que buscarle la "consistencia" al guión. Si se es, simplemente, un cinefilo sin pretenciones en busca de un buen esparcimiento, esta cinta es una estupenda opción. Los demas, que mejor se metan un caviar por el culo.

PUNISHER: WAR ZONE review

By Twitchfilm.com on May 17, 2011
I didn’t expect to be surprised by “Punisher: War Zone”, the latest comic book movie sequel that no one asked for. So, was my face ever red upon leaving the theater. Not from all the gratuitously splattered
