Punisher: War Zone Review

This is one of the most violent movies of 2008. Besides Saw V and Rambo 4, this movie had the craziest deaths and was funny as hell. If you have a fairly decent idea of the Punisher, you know he's ruthless and will destroy any kind of evil in his own special way.

Don't take it out on Ray Stevens!

Having been a fan of the Punisher Max comics and the Tom Jane version I was curious to see how the movie would be with out Tom Jane. Suprisingly I did not miss Tom Jane as Frank Castle...

Punisher Review: Action makes up for the rest

Acting? Bad.... Dialogue? Bad..... Story? Bad.......but somehow the action, violence and, dare I say, "punishing" made it all seem......GREAT!

CBM Contributor - 12/10/2008

The Punisher movie bites. I prefer Dolph's film to this piece of #%$!

It was garbage. Gore fest meets B actors everywhere.

8th Place "War Zone" is Punished at the Box Office

The first three days have been a struggle for Punisher: War Zone, only making $4 million, 8th place among the recent releases and far behind the first flick starring Thomas Jane.

The Real Punisher

The real form and essence of a man who is hell bent on redemption and left in his own misery is finally captured in a way that isn't campy.

CBM Contributor - 12/8/2008

	I think Ray looks more the part for frank castle than even thomas jane did. Plus he's a great actor, really enjoyed his work in ROME. iNsaneMilesy - 10/28/2008, 8:45 PM
	Thomas Jane looked almost spot on for the role of Frank Castle from the series "Welcome back Frank" And though Ray might make a great Punisher, I hate re-casting. jordan heath - 11/8/2008, 2:24 PM
	I liked Thomas Jane's punisher because he was the justified punisher, not the more popular DOUCHE punisher they have Ray doing DeadWebHead - 12/12/2008, 8:19 PM
	hey jordan heath. if that picture is really of you than thats really really... GGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYY TheJUGGERNAUTBitch - 12/20/2008, 1:08 AM

	I loved this movie, but hated it too!!! One of my all time fav characters!!! Yes i did want TOM, but i loved RAY too!!! Loved the action etc, but i thought how the punisher task force of two people caught FRANK too easy an should never had!! But that's nothing from KILLING OF MICRO in the very 1st (ish) Movie!?! Wtf am i the only one that thought that was F*ing crap!! Should never of happened!!! (Im talking movies ppl, not the comic). Hell JIGSAW had only just been born!!! An killing a classic like him too!?!? TOTAL CRAP!!! MOVIE WAS AWESOME!!! HATED THE VERY END lol!!! Lionsgate can you reshoot the end for the DVD/BLUE RAY release????? Actually that ain't a bad idea,,, i reckon more ppl will buy it!!! ; ) ( Or just cut that, micro bit out ). Anyway im a true PUNISHER fan!! An the movie was a rollacoaster ride!!! Just wish it did better at the BOX OFFICE : ( i saw it, just didn't like tha end nuff said : ) LEEE777** - 1/18/2009, 1:52 PM
	I heard the Blu-Ray/DVD is comming out March 17. If it has good DVD sales (and it should), can't wait for the sequel. Ray already talking about wanting Barracuda as the next villan. costa - 1/21/2009, 2:27 AM
	Cheers costa!!! I hope that happen's, PUNISHER need's another chance!!! One of the best comic book characters out there in my book!! ; ) p.s still cut out or change the end of WAR ZONE on blue ray heh heh!! Hey it might happen lol : ) LEEE777 - 1/26/2009, 3:28 PM
	Heh heh : D Why don't anyone add to these posts!!! ; ) LEEE777 - 2/25/2009, 11:16 AM
	Well Its not much Punisher news, but I just can't wait for the dvd and Ray Stevenson is looking foward to a sequel: Ray Stevenson has expressed interest in sequels, hinting Barracuda as a possible villain. At the 2008 San Diego Comic-Con, when asked if he signed on for more Punisher, he said, "If I had my wish, it's going to run and run. It's up to the fan base. If this works, we get to do it all again." Commenting on the film's villains, Stevenson stated: “We dispatched a few, but there are some other great ones,” he laughed. “Some of the great stories that are in [the Punisher comics], there is one about the Slavers — the prostitution rings, and bringing women over from Europe. There is also Barracuda, who is almost as mean and ornery as Frank. Some are more real, or more tangible than others, while some of them are larger-than-life like Jigsaw, but there are plenty [of stories to tell]. What I love is the depth that [writer] Garth Ennis gets to; he doesn’t do broad brush strokes, he really gets in there. These villains have a real motivation, a real determination that must be stopped, and you get to play off of it. That should be fun. costa - 2/27/2009, 4:53 PM
	The punisher blows! I gotta go with Stan Lee, the man who invented comics in the first place, when he said 'super heroes don't kill people!' ReddHotPoker - 3/5/2009, 11:33 AM
	Coming this summer... Don't miss the Punisher like you've never seen him before... blowing up a guys head by shooting him in the face, blowing up a guys head by shooting him in the ear, blowing up a guys head by shooting an RPG into his mouth and the most mind blowing thing ever shown in theaters... blowing up a guys head with a thermite grenade! Pure action! Pure adrenaline! Pure Punisher! This summer, Ray Stevenson is... (explosion sounds) The Punisher 2: Requiem for blowing up a guys head This time it's personal! (more explosion sounds) A Lexi Alexander film ReddHotPoker - 3/5/2009, 11:43 AM
	JUST PURE COMIC BOOK ACTION............ IN BLU RAY & DVD>>>>> GRAB IT NOW ! Gose - 3/12/2009, 3:58 PM
	And 007 is one of the GOOD GUYS and is LICENSE TO KILL ! thats why the PUNISHER was born way back in SPIDERMAN ! Gose - 3/12/2009, 4:11 PM
	This is what The Punisher is about, Marvel make another please. MAXQ1961 - 3/14/2009, 9:30 AM
	If not another one!! Its wanting to be made into a live tv series!!!! Ask Ray if he's up for it!!! ; ) p.s or Tom!!! ; ) LEEE777 - 3/17/2009, 12:40 PM
	Gose; 007 isn't a superhero, he's just british ReddHotPoker - 3/20/2009, 9:31 AM
	So's CAPTAIN BRITAIN and UNION JACK lol!!! : D LEEE777 - 3/26/2009, 12:27 PM
	Just watched the vid... WHAT A PILE OF CRAP!!!! ---- POTENTIAL SPOILERS BELOW ---- Jigsaw was incredibly corny, 2-dimensional and has terrible makeup. With the make-up job on Jigsaw I felt like I was watching the 90's Captain America movie. This feeling was only further enhanced by the acting and wardrobe choices for a "gangster" with his face looking like a multi-colored patch quilt that would change throughout the vid. LBJ (Looney-bin-johnnie) was okay, but what's with his ninja/acrobat moves all the time? Also, fairly overacted. For shat's sake could they at least make the guy watch some movies with decent actors portraying psychopaths?? Ray looks like the Punisher, but as an actor... nope. Tom Jane was much better. The FBI guys. Hell, I don't even know where to start with these jack-offs... The lighting throughout the movie made me feel like I was watching a 90's TV show, ala The Flash. I've lived in the city - the lights are not ALL yellow, red and blue. If you're in an old building at night, it's dark - not glowing a primary color. The whole thing is camp, save the soundtrack. That was decent. And when Punisher "mercy"-kills the reformed banger, they cut to black, but there's no problem showing the Punisher literally punch through some guy's head??? WTF? Micro gets half his head blown off??? The most hopeful future for this movie is B-movie cheese. pugsley - 3/29/2009, 8:19 PM
	This movie was [frick]ing kickass. I aam not a fan of gore, but this was a testosterone charged nonstop action flick, and it took a level in badass Nathaniel Blackbird - 4/6/2009, 12:14 PM
	I love the TVs FLASH lol!!! ; ) ... Its a cool movie but it could've been an AWESOME movie!!!! MICRO bit was the worst of the worst!!!! Bad Lionsgate! You too MARVEL :thumbsdown LEEE777 - 4/6/2009, 2:00 PM
	PUNISHER NEEDS A LIVE ACTION SERIES!!! ; ) Pity the movie blew like WNKERINES BOROGINS!!! Ya cant kill MICRO in his 1st screen outing or JIGSAW for that matter and a one and a half PUNISHER team would have no chance catching PUNISHER!!! But MICRO was the biggest issue!!! Bad move! P.s. Back again lol! LEEE777* - 5/31/2009, 7:01 AM
	i liked the movie,then again im not a fan of punisher and haven't seen any of the comics. so if you have about 11% knowlage about punisher the movie is great. UltimateHobgoblin666 - 9/22/2009, 9:20 AM
	best film ever ! FrankCastle1 - 10/24/2009, 10:51 AM
