Movie Reviews of The Punisher
Movie Review: Great Fun!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Don;t listen to the comic dorks, so what of it isn't a straight adaptation " he doesn't have a skull" Big Deal. I grew up on Punisher comics (the Jim Lee Punisher War Journals were great) and the movie does have the essence of Punisher. At least its not dumbed down, as the body count is up there. Yes, granted the acting is not the best (although Dolph I thought was great) and nether is the casting (the Italian Mafia is not very Italian). Overall its fun to watch and that's what its for. An excellent 80's B action movie.You could find this in Wal-mart for $4.99 Buy this movie.Movie Review: Almost as good as the comic !
Summary: 4 Stars
This Film is Semi- faithful to the comic. But, where is his skull symbol? You at least have to put that in the movie! Dolph Lundgren was not a real good pick. If You like Marvel,pick this movie up! Anyway,the thing I really hated was that his family was killed in a car bombing instead of in central park by mobsters.If you are a comic book\action person,then buy this film!Movie Review: This movie is a disgrace to the punisher
Summary: 1 Stars
I have never seen such a mock off. The People who made this piece of crap were probably a couple back to the 60's crackheads who just took a glimpse at the front cover of a copy of the punisher comics and just said hey this looks pretty cool lets just destroy the original story of the punisher and make a completey not well thought of plot and the reason why I call them crackheads because HOW THE HELL CAN YOU THE BLAST'EN SKULL , I mean really the one question that I myself and whoever else actually read at least one of the stories of the punisher have got to ask is that did this movie had anything to do, was this movie suppose to be based on the comic book of the punisher? You know thank god for the new version of the punisher based on the real story of the punisher with the skull with a kickass better actor starring as the punisher and with my favorite actor, Jon Travolta starring as the kickass villian and if you don't believe me on that go watch Broken Arrow, Face-Off, and Swordfish.Movie Review: Worst comic book movie
Summary: 1 Stars
Not true to the comicThat is not the Punisher, and I'll you why. Don't let anybody tell you this was true to the character.
1.He didn't have the skull.
2.He didn't hid out in the sewers he hid in wear houses.
3.Where was the arsenal of weapons and bombs?????
4.They didn't even make him a Vietnam vet or even some type of soldier. Because cops are not soldiers. Cops are not trained on how to kill a person with all kinds of weapons and with their bear hands or to take life without mercy.
5.He didn't even wear Kevlar body armor. The Punisher has been wearing that scents the beginning. Wearing body armor is more Professional.
6.The Punisher is someone who is always on, always alert, always ready, always prepared, almost inhuman and someone who has a pissed off look on his face half the time. NOT someone who is SLEEPY and looks depressed and can't even talk right!!!
7.Where was his partner micro???
8.Where was Jigsaw or the Costa family??? It was the Costa Mafia that killed his family.
9.His family was killed in New York Central park. Not in a car bombing.
10.The Punisher had a little boy and a little girl. Not two little girls.
11.His wife's name was Mary not Sharlene.
12.The Punisher has never talked to God or asked God why this happen. Never.
13.The Punisher has never once said in the comic books "If your guilty your dead." NEVER!!!
14.There were no other characters from the comic. Good guys or bad guys.
15.The story, the plot, the lines, and the other characters weren't based off of any Punisher story.
Even the scenes were worst.
At, the beginning of the movie where you see him standing in the house that's on fire. There wouldn't be enough oxygen left for him to be standing at all.
The Japanese Mafia the Yakuza were not portrayed right at all. The, Japanese Yakuza nor do the Triads or the Tong they do not wear Ninja outfits to kill people. It's typical that an American film of the late 80's would think so. Also the real Japanese Yakuza do not take in women. They do not trust women and they feel that women are weak and should stay at home. And not only did the Punisher move in with the Ninja Turtles he was also fighting their fights.
The Italian Mafia were not portrayed right either. The Italian Mafia, are very powerful and have armies of men around them with every power weapons with them like the M16, M4, M60, AK47, a Mac10, sub machine guns, shotguns and so on. Not just handguns and not just a few men. And if they were running low on men they would have called for other families from other cities like from Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Tampa, L.A., San Francisco, Las Vegas and so on to come and help send more men. Even today the most power Italian, Mafia is the Bonanno, Colombo and the Gambino crime family. Now even thou a lot of their bosses are dead or in jail they are still every powerfully. So a, 125 deaths in a 5 year time period of the Italian Mafia's people is nothing.
The only other Mafia or gang that's been really been able to go up against the Italian Mafia in a gang war are other Italian families or the Colombians and Mexicans Cartel or the Russians. At one time the Yakuza were just as powerful as the Italians but not anymore these days.
The, part where he's running to catch up with the van. The van looks like it was going at almost top speed but he some how caught up to it with no problem. I didn't know the Punisher had superhuman speed. He shot the shotgun too many times. At the most that shotgun is going to hold 9 shots. Not 15. And they didn't show him reloading.
When he's at the casino, there's a lame kick he gives to a guy when he comes down. He throws the knife pretty stupidly. And he hits somebody with it with the first throw. And when he's shooting up the place with the M60, a guy goes running by and he shoots with a grenade launcher and the guy does flying in the air like some cartoon character. The guy would have been blown in half. The M60 with the grenade launcher is an unrealistic weapon. And a grenade launcher like that is only going to hold one grenade at a time. Not a dozen.
The Punisher walked into a place there he doesn't know how many people he's going up against and he only walks in there with a shotgun and only one handgun.
When he's being tortured, they came up with a really dumb reason on how he got loose.
When the bad guys are shooting at the bus, half those kids would have been dead. The bullets would have gone right threw it.
When a guy does somehow manage to get inside the bus he runs right up to the Punisher and the Punisher throws him out. Why didn't he just take one of the kids and threaten to kill them if he didn't stop???? Or why did he have a gun or some type of weapon with him????
There would have been a bunch of cops riding with the Punisher when they were taking him to jail. And a normal car is not going to run that off the road.
When the women cop is knockout a slap it not going to knock someone out completely.
They didn't show how he got down off that building. That was like a skyscraper.
I somehow don't think that the DVD will out sell the Spider-Man DVD or the Finding Nemo DVD.
If you want to see movies that show the real Japanese Mafia then get movies like Sonatine, Brother and American Yakuza. If you want to see the real Italian Mafia then get movies like the Godfather 1 and 2. Goodfellas and Casino.
