The Punisher! - Blu-ray Forum

I just saw the Punisher for the first time and it was on Blu-ray. Wow, what an action movie. RECOMMENDED and It was only $14 at my local Wal-Mart.

Except that it's crap and and a terrible blu-ray.

Red Hood · 09-28-2008, 01:30 AM

I like the movie but the reviews keep my from replacing my dvd.

SkullPhyre · 09-28-2008, 02:01 AM

Great PQ/AQ but the movie was a total turd.

lol my opinion is exactly the opposite. Enjoyable movie but pretty bad Blu-ray presentation.

Yeah I agree, I was excited about the sequel til I saw the trailer. Just looks stupid to me.

As far as the original I thought it was a good movie. I thought AQ was great, for lossy that is, and the PQ was decent.

saginawjuggalo · 09-28-2008, 04:31 AM

Terrible PQ, OK (at best) movie, almost decent price...

Celtic Bob · 09-28-2008, 04:40 AM

I just ordered it from Amazon.com. I liked the movie but never did buy it on dvd. I kept putting it off for some reason, so it was an obvious choice for me.

FuneralDancer · 09-28-2008, 04:45 AM

I actually likd the movie, Thomas Jane is great.. I know it received good pq/aq reviews, but I didn't really like it much -- do the colours seem kinda dark??

owa · 09-28-2008, 05:29 AM

I liked the movie and thought the blu-ray was pretty good. IMO, not nearly as bad as what most people say.

agreed and it was better than DVD for sure! cant complain with 15 dollars worth BR.

Wish they would release the Extended cut on Blu.

philip74 · 01-18-2011, 09:29 PM

just bought this on amazon cause it was real cheap and i sold off my dvd
copy some time ago already.
right after the purchase i checked out the blu review on this site and
was shocked how bad the picture quality looks on the screens!
it even received 3.5 picture points, i would have given like 2.0.
i have to check out the real deal, but just from those screens i would say it is one of the worst blu transfers i have seen. completely soft picture!
normally i check reviews before purchases, but i wanted the movie
in my collection anyway. thumbs way down lionsgate though!

Blu-Benny · 01-18-2011, 09:36 PM

Since the thread was revived, I enjoyed the movie.

philip74 · 01-18-2011, 09:45 PM

yeah it was revived because i figured more people will buy it at waltmart for 5bucks, or on amazon for 7.
just looked at the screens from the review again: horrible!!
guess the chance of lionsgate making a new transfer for this one are less than zero though.

Has the UK edition got a better transfer? Maybe I dreamed that I had read that somewhere

I have it and yes, it's a better transfer. A healthy amount of grain and strong black levels. Very filmlike transfer. The audio is also TrueHD and it features all of the DVD extras. It's pretty cheap too, under $20. It's region free.

Unfortunately, that doesn't look like the extended cut. Fine if you like the theatrical, but I thought the additional scenes really rounded out the movie better and gave more background that helped the picture out.

I like my DVD (and the awesome case too), so I don't plan on upgrading until a proper Blu-ray release with all the bonus content and extended cut are included. The U.S. Blu-ray release is just not enticing at all to me; which is too back because I really like the film.

Kryptonic · 01-18-2011, 11:22 PM

The additional scenes were lacking for me and unnecessary. The opening would have been a nice addition had they actually shot it, but the rest of the stuff felt like filler.
