Punisher: War Zone coming in April - Blu-ray Forum

Meeklo · 01-14-2009, 09:41 PM

It was watchable....I'll probably get it once it becomes a $10 buy at Walmart but overall....I'd almost rather watch the 2003 Hulk.

borninusa · 01-14-2009, 09:45 PM

I actually liked the previous Punisher movie. It wasnt anything great, but it was watchable (imo)...but this version...I dont think it will be happening.

tacoreed · 01-14-2009, 09:45 PM

It had to be better than the last Punisher movie didn't it? I mean c'mon Rebecca Romijn in a Punisher movie....sheesh.

borninusa · 01-14-2009, 09:47 PM

Hey..she did good in the Xmen flicks...and she was nearly naked. YOu cant knock those knockers.

Don't get me wrong, she's damn beautiful (too beautiful for the movie), that's why she didn't belong. A movie about the Punisher should be dark and ugly, with absolutely no love interest.

borninusa · 01-14-2009, 09:50 PM

Hey..beautiful women are attracted to the dark and mysterious guys.

tacoreed · 01-14-2009, 09:52 PM

I also agree, but the Punisher only loves one thing, and that is ridding society of wastoids, especially the ones who killed his family.

Kryptron · 01-14-2009, 09:56 PM

I thought it looked bad from the trailers. Sounds like it's as bad as the trailer made it look. One down, two to go (Streetfighter and DBZ Evolution). What's with all the bad movies? What a waste of money and good film.

So you would rather have a fat, toothless main female character? Hot women at least sale......the movie was crap with or without her presense. It was just easier on the eyes with her being there.

What I am saying is that there needs to be no female character. Like the movie First Blood (or the original Punisher movie for that matter). Just death, beatings, and punishment....like the comic book.
The Thomas Jane Punisher started out alright (real dark), then got way too cheesy. The best thing about it was looking at the chick, which isn't the reason I watch movies. I would rather look at chicks in real life, not on a TV screen.

Just noticed that releaselists.com have this down for a Mar 17 release.

I might give it a rent, but Im not expecting too much. The trailers really turned me off to it. I was all hyped for it til I seen the trailers, it really did look stupid, but I guess we'll see.

The TRUST · 03-01-2009, 07:26 AM

Just saw this movie.

Punisher Brutality at it's best!!!!! Highly recomended for Punisher fans. Non stop action and lots of blood and guts!

The funniest part for me was when..... He blew that guy to bits while doing a backflip on the roof tops. I broke out into laughter. That was the coolest kill in the film.!

Minimejer05 · 03-01-2009, 06:32 PM

Im hoping this gets a good transfer. Cant wait to read a review on the PQ.

(Fe)Man · 01-16-2009, 03:28 AM

Crappy movie imo, much rather have the Thomas Jane version. I actually like that one.

MCT · 01-16-2009, 04:33 AM

didnt get a chance to catch it in theaters, but I heard great things about the amounts of tounge-in-cheek gratuitious violence. I'll be picking this up. No way can it be as bad and watered down as the 04 flick.

Meeklo · 01-16-2009, 04:46 AM

I did like the amount of violence in this movie, very Punisher-like.

The '04 movie, the Punisher was running around playing mind games with everyone. Trying to make Howard Saint think his wife was cheating on him with Quentin. That's not the Punisher's MO. Plus he goes in the final battle with a bow and arrow???? No! He's supposed to go in guns ablazing!

Although I ripped John Travolta's villain in my previous post, I will say he has the funniest scene in the Thomas Jane Punisher: when he throws his wife onto the train tracks, after being duped into thinking she was cheating.

That movie had a lot of unintentionally funny scenes, but that by far was the best.

BluRayNick · 01-17-2009, 02:57 AM

This movie is garbage! I watched it for free in the movies it was painful to sit there and watch it! Dont waste your money on this movie. And whoever said it was better than the Thomas jane version I mean come on!!!!
