They were on the right track with Ray Stevenson as The Punisher; I personally thought he did a fantastic job and if they managed to make the action scenes as serious as the subject matter it would have been a good film. Seriously, they could have easily retained the visceral brutality of The Punisher's vengeful acts without using close-ups of over-the-top gore effects. Honestly, there was so much gore in the first 30 minutes that everything after that just wasn't effective in any sense; you were jaded not even a third of the way into the film. That might be good for an action film, but as far as dramatic effect goes, that's film suicide.

I was able to watch this last night and enjoyed it more then the previous one. It's not a good movie, but it was fun to watch.

This was actually a better movie than i expected. and i expected it to be crap. Now, i never saw the other two movies- just so you're aware. There is some bad dialogue which, in of itsself isn't that bad- it's just when it's said for the most part. The character "Looney bin Jim" was a little too looney, but isn't that the point? didn't mind the steryotypical accents. satturated color wasn't that bad. Loved jigsaw. Wonderfully directed. Didn't like the recruiting scene. ray stevensen and newman were great. The "cop wanting revenge" storyline was underdeveloped along with some characters. Loved the splaterific action scenes. A very strong, very high, MATINEE

This is the movie i wanted to see so much this month ( besides"the spirit") but do to the fact that it was cancelled at my local theatre ( Galaxy Cinemas) for some extremely stupid reason . I enjoyed the previous one from 2004 ( my favourite part was when the punisher had to go against the russian in his apartment) . But i will probebly rent The Punisher: war zone when it comes to dvd.

Personally I loved the last Punisher film it may have not been true to the comic but it was well made. It entertained me and my friends for years and thats what counts. I get nothing from this new version.

You can't trust fair and impartial reviews because they don't agree with everything that you think? Kinda sounds like fascism where I'm standing. Are you even reading what you write? "No one wants to go see a lame shoot em up... no one wants to see Frank Castle or anyone else draw out...crazy lines." >EXACTLY. You're right on, and that's why nobody likes this movie. It is indeed a lame shoot-em-up with dialogue and pacing fit for a Steven Seagal TV movie on Spike. Listen to the audio review before you make haphazard statements about the Crew's history with the source material. "i don't think you guys have ever touched any of the comics because you compared this too harshly to reality." Seriously? They probably know the Punisher way better than you do and it hurts them more to see him treated like garbage on screen over and over again. If the Crew's not rating films on "the right aspects" then what, pray tell, are the right aspects? They rate every movie on the same points, namely coherency, dialogue, effects, character portrayal, verisimilitude within the genre, and other factors that are appropriate for this line of work. You, on the other hand, appear to rule on whether the movie is popular, which must automatically mean that it sucks ("...it's only hype..[sic] just like the dark knight, they are horrible movies that are way too over-rated [sic] and it's sick.") because you're apparently way too cool to conform, even when evidence of a good movie beats your skull in Punisher-style. Honestly, it's fine to think that The Dark Knight wasn't that hot. I personally think that it was hyped a bit too much myself. But using the same standards to reach that conclusion, it is simple unfathomable to believe that you think that this Punisher film is anything less than horrifyingly awful. In regards to the treatment of "that lame vampire movie", Korey specifically said that this is not a movie crucifiction site. They're not here to bash movies that you perceive to be bad and call it a day. The top of the page says what they're all about. "If it's crap...we'll tell you" sums it up perfectly. If it has merits, even a few miniscule and minute ones, the Crew will point them out because that's how to properly evaluate a movie. They said it's good for a specific market and they rated it accordingly. In short, this site seems to be a bit too reasonable and just for your tastes. Perhaps you can find another review site that sates your bloodlust. Look into that. In the meantime, take your own advice and "GTFO!!"

good review guys....You are spot on with this one. I will say though that I loved this film....I loved the comic book feel, and how ridiculous all the accents were. I can't believe you didn't mention the latin King that pun hooks up with...he was by far the most annoying...with his little tear drop tat....ey holmes why you chop me dog? As a huge fan of the graphic novel I got everything I expected out of this movie...It does kinda suck that I have to lower my expectations though....Ray stevens does a great job in this film and I hope they stick with him if they decide to make another...
