dworldeater Oh boy, Punisher Warzone is a movie that I enjoy but have some major problems with. One thing that this movie got right was casting Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle/The Punisher, who did a tremendous job and was perfect for this role, even looking like The Punisher. Colin Salmon was also good as an FBI agent that was at odds with Frank Castle, Julie Benz looks great and performed well and I really liked Wayne Knight's portrayal of the Micro character. All of the scenes with Ray Stevenson are really intense and the film is packed with extreme, over the top gory violence and brutal action. However, the film is too much in a comic book style and much of this stuff is too silly to supplement the dark and gritty subject matter/source material. A lot of the dialouge is just flat out dumb and the villains of this film are super lame and cartoonish. Both of the actors that play Jigsaw and "Loony Bin Jim" stink it up big time. They are even worst than John Travolta in the Thomas Jane Punisher film and to say that speaks volumes on the level of terrible they are in this movie. Besides the occasional levity from the Micro character, I don't see much humor belonging in this film and there are too many goofy moments that don't serve the story and are not funny. Frank Castle/The Punisher is a tragic, damaged and dark figure and Ray Stevenson portrayed him perfectly. For some, this will play as great campy entertainment. Speaking for myself, this movie had a lot of potential for greatness if this was taken more seriously. Even so, Ray Stevenson's performance alone is worth the price of admission and has a lot of good action.
mrprince-32229 I am not joking when I tell everyone that they'll have one of the best experiences watching Punisher War Zone. I'm surprised how highly underrated this movie is due to the past failed Punisher movies which made audiences lose hope. Please.... PLEASE watch this masterpiece of a violent and bloody Marvel movie. Get a group of friends or family that can deal with the god-awful CGI blood and gore you'll be witnessing throughout this flick. This isn't even a comedy and it manages to be extremely laughable. Samurai Cop, Birdemic, The Room? They were quite the show but this broke new grounds. What I'm saying is probably subjective (in terms of what'll make you laugh) but the majority cannot lie that this is by far one of the greatest Punisher movies ever conceived. Does this do Punisher justice? That's up for you to decide!
dumpsteremail I love the Punisher let me just say that. However the actors that were selected to play in this movie are so terrible. Punisher himself could have been played by literally anyone else. And those cheap fake 'Italian' accents in the beginning of the movie bother the s**t out of me because they are so bad.
eliripoll I'm not going to spend a lot of time writing a review. I'll just say this movie was under rated and is exactly how a punisher movie should have been done. Also the guy they casted for punisher was way better then the other Frank castles.Too bad it didn't make enough at the box office to help the star reprise his role as Frank castle. The minimum review though needs to be at least 10 lines. so I will just also mention that the main bad guy also was exactly how to add characters to the street level marvel hero's. I'm tired of having the main bad guy being some mafia, etc.I definitely Recommend this movie to anyone who is a fan of marvel or punisher.
