Movie Reviews of The Punisher
Movie Review: Better than the year 2004 version
Summary: 5 Stars
The 2004 version was too soft and watered down for my tastes. I didn't like it at all.
This 1989 version is how the Punisher is truely meant to be. He punishes the guilty with extreme prejudice, without hesitation and without regrets.
Movie Review: Leather Clad Sewer Rat with a Harley
Summary: 1 Stars
Having just bought, and reviewed, the most recent (and unquestionably better) version of the Marvel character adaptation, I thought I'd revisit this 80's action yarn, and say a few words. Which is about all you can say - Dolph Lundgren is even more wooden than usual, having been saved from Death by Louis Gosset, who I can only assume was flat broke, to have even wanted to be associated with this garbage. It's bad, I mean real bad - the plot is all over the place, with virtually no references to the comic book story. Scenes begin with no explanation whatsoever, and usually end in an enormous explosion. The Punisher has a weakness it seems, (aside from inability to act) and gets badly bloodied and beaten in a fist fight. But this is only a minor setback, as when faced with an army of machine gun toting goons he of course emerges completely unscathed. This is a cheap action flick of the type that were turned out by the 80's macho grist mill almost every week it seemed, and although some were good - this is one you'll want to forget in a hurry. Everything about it is says cheap and poorly finished, from characters to set design, and as for hiding out by riding around the sewers on a Harley that's loud enough to wake the dead - gimme a break! Average by Lundgrens standards, which is of course, not much of a recommendation - give this one a miss and catch the new one instead - you'll be glad you did.Movie Review: Better than the Thom Jane version
Summary: 4 Stars
Cheesy? Yes! bad 80's action? Yes! Filmed in Australia? Yes! Low budget as with all marvels early movies like Captain America and Generation X? Oh hell yes!
But still this movie was much truer to the style of the punisher and much more enjoyable than the 2004 Version with Thom Jane. In Fact it was after seeing the 2004 version I just had to track this dvd down and buy it. Just to wash the bad taste out of my mouth.
Movie Review: Not Bad
Summary: 4 Stars
Not bad considering that Marvel Comics Company did not lend a hand with this film. They did the best with what they had. I think Dolph Lundgren did a great Job portaying the Punisher and in my opinion he should have played the Punisher in the new Punisher Movie instead of Thomas Jane, don't get me wrong Thomas did a good job playing the role of the Punisher, he just did not look enough like the Punisher, Dolph resmbles the punisher a great deal and played the role almost to perfection. But this version of the punisher does have it's faults like for example Dolph's version of the Punisher does not display the Trade Mark Skull on his shirt, and the movie took place in australia instead of New York. But overall the Movie was pretty good considering the lack of help from Marvel. Louis Gossett Jr. also played a good part in this movie, The new Punisher is a little more accurate than this version, but this movie is still a must get and see.Movie Review: punisher
