Best live-action Punisher? - Blu-ray Forum

KManX89 · 05-19-2022, 07:56 PM

Dolph Lundgren (The Punisher-1989):

Tom Jane (The Punisher-2004):

Ray Steveson (Punisher: War Zone):

Jon Bernthal (Marvel's The Punisher/DareDevil S2-Netflix/Disney +):

My vote goes to Bernthal. Lundgren and Stevenson were a bit too one note for my taste (though Stevenson easily has the best, most Punisher-esque fight scenes) and Tom Jane was basically PINO. Bernthal easily captures the spirit of that character through dialog in the Netflix shows (especially the court scene) while offering some nice brutal action in his own right (though not quite up to Stevenson's in that regard), the prison fight was awesometacular and vintage Punisher. He was easily the best part of DDS2.

Stevenson easily. War Zone is honestly one of the best Marvel films.

Bernthal I mean the whole Rooftop scene with Daredevil when he is tied to the chimney with Chain. Also the Cemetery scene in S2 of DD. Also his solo Series was really good lots of great action. I mean he sniped ninjas for crying out loud. His stuff with Microchip was good too.

Bernthal. No question for me.

That scene was trash. Frank should not be giving 15 minute monologues.

To be honest they all kind of sucked. Jane was the best barely.
