On the plus side, someone who's that bad at differentiating between fiction and reality probably shouldn't be reading comics about a vigilante murderer.
I would never call it excellent, because I'm honest with myself. It was enjoyable, and had some good scenes (I LOVED Punisher setting up all these guys to be killed) but some things were laughable, like his tragic origin scene. Really? The whole family being gunned down in their Hawaiian shirts, and the kid happened to have a skull shirt?
That movie was a dumb piece of crap. Frank Castle drinking? Pretending to torture criminals? Attempting dumb and convoluted Count of Monte Cristo revenge ploys? There's no consideration of the Punisher in that turd and it's totally without teeth to boot.
I get it. I refuse to watch anything on FX, Fox network, or released or produced by 20th Century Fox until Jim Cameron comes and personally apologizes to me for Titanic and Avatar.
Even the Lundgren Punisher had it's moments, considering it was made during the time New World entertainment owned Marvel Comics and they had all of these goofy, low-budget projects lined up, like a She-Hulk movie and a "Wolverine Meets The X-Men" script which was used as the starting point for other proposed X-men scripts, including the one that actually made it to the screen (though from what I've heard in this original script that was never produced, it was Kitty Pride who meets Wolverine before they ran into the X-Men instead of Rogue)
Yeah... anytime soon.
ReplyDeleteCrazies is the perfect category fir this. Punisher War Zone freaking ruled.
ReplyDeleteBecause Green Lantern was so much better.
ReplyDeleteFrank Castle doesn't apologize. And if he does, it's with a shotgun.
ReplyDeleteTo your face

ReplyDeleteLoL!
DeleteWar Zone was grand, I have no idea what this guy is on about.
ReplyDeleteHe should really apologize... all three of him.
ReplyDeleteI liked ALL of the Punisher movies, BTW. Not nearly as much as any other superhero film, but I liked them.
What?! The Thomas Jane movie was excellent. Possibly, in terms of accuracy, darness, and grit, one of the most accurate marvel films to date.
ReplyDeleteHe wants to hold DC in esteem, talk to us about Smallville.

DeleteSo Frank Castle using information as a weapon and drinking are deal breakers?
Delete*Mad because SHITTY MOVIES*
ReplyDelete*Reads shitty comics in protest*
Seems legit.

ReplyDeleteDid DC ever apologise for the 'Catwoman' movie? Or did we all just agree to forget that ever existed?
ReplyDeleteWhat are you talking about? That's not a movie starring Halle Berry. Never heard of it!
DeleteWhile we're at it, can I get Spidey to apologize for that one where he went emo and did a dance number?
ReplyDeleteShhh! Petey's in a bad way right now. The Doc says he ain't gonna make it.
DeleteThe 1989 Dolph Lundgren “Punisher” movie was a moderately good action movie. It just wasn’t “The Punisher” enough. Still enjoyable, though.
ReplyDeleteSurely this comic deserved a response from the Punisher.
ReplyDeleteDC Comics.
ReplyDeleteCome on bro, you own a comic shop.
