Marvel Studios' The Punisher: One Last Kill is now streaming on Disney+, and the review embargo lifted just as the TV-MA Special Presentation debuted.

As is often the case, the full reviews aren't as glowing as the social media reactions. Still, most critics do seem to have been won over by Frank Castle's brutally violent, relentlessly bleak return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Quite a few reviews mention that One Last Kill would have benefitted from a more substantial run-time (49 minutes with credits), and that it does tread over a lot of familiar ground for anyone who has seen the Netflix shows. Even so, it definitely seems like Marvel has managed to tap into what fans love most about this character: Misery and carnage!

The Punisher: One Last Kill is currently sitting at 82% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 17 reviews.

Have a read through some of the posts below, and check out a new poster and teaser featuring Frank Castle suited up in his classic skull logo/leather jacket combo.

Just finished it. Holy crap, this was awesome. Jon Bernthal might somehow be at his best as Frank Castle. Super violent like it should be, but also a really strong story. You totally feel for Frank throughout.

My only complaint is that it’s too short. The 50 minutes absolutely fly by. I easily could’ve done another hour of this, better yet a full season. This was awesome. Kudos to Marvel Studios for fully going all in.

Sweet , glad to see the positive reviews so far this hope it continues as more come in…

Also man , I wish Bernthal’s Frank would wear the trenchcoat more just looking at that poster since it gives him so much more aura!!.

@OneMoreTime - They'll show up eventually. You just have to wait for them to pirate it before they complain they didn't get their money's worth.

OneMoreTime - 5/12/2026, 11:53 PM
@Patient2670 - Actually FireGunn has admitted he pays for Disney Plus and watches to complain.
Patient2670
Patient2670 - 5/13/2026, 12:26 AM
@OneMoreTime - Did he, for real? We've been back and forth on another thread for a couple days now and he says he doesn't pay for a subscription but pirates DD.

@OneMoreTime - I never said this you lying moron

@Patient2670 - He just lied for no reason lmao
FireGunn
FireGunn - 5/13/2026, 6:50 AM
@OneMoreTime - My thoughts? Honestly, one of the better things to come out of D+ Marvel. It's very flawed and retreads too much ground but I enjoyed myself for the most part. A bit disappointing but it's about what I expected
Patient2670
Patient2670 - 5/13/2026, 11:45 AM
@FireGunn - So, you're saying that he lied about you NOT being a thief? Hmm... I don't think that's the flex you think it is.
FireGunn
FireGunn - 5/13/2026, 12:37 PM
@Patient2670 - Yes, he lied about me not being a thief. Didn't think I'd have to clarify that. Moron
Patient2670
Patient2670 - 5/13/2026, 12:55 PM
@FireGunn - You're angry that someone said you're not a criminal... and you're calling ME a moron?
Okie Dokie.

Would love to watch but the audio is so messed up its literally unwatchable right now for me. Seeing a lot of people having the same issue

@IHateBoogers - turn it up and add the subtitles.

I think Disney has finally made something that will unite all the nerds. This was absolutely superb. EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT FROM THE PUNISHER!

Honestly better than Netflix. Find out for yourself and see if I’m wrong!

I dare someone to say some shit about this awesome piece of cinema. MARVEL meets 'THE RAID' and people will say some shit like 'Disney watered it down' or something. Oh also, to all the people claiming they weren't going to like this before they even saw it, you can all suck a fat one. Clowns.
Patient2670
Patient2670 - 5/13/2026, 12:29 AM
@JackDeth - This is anything but watered down. I thought it was great. Definitely left me wanting to see more of Bernthal as Frank.
TheLobster
TheLobster - 5/13/2026, 1:18 AM
@JackDeth - not watered down just corny as [frick] with the most lazy cinematography and redundant arcs. I love Punisher in the Daredevil series but this was pretty silly.
JackDeth
JackDeth - 5/13/2026, 8:39 AM
@TheLobster - Silly? What the hell were you watching? lol
TheLobster
TheLobster - 5/15/2026, 8:54 PM
@JackDeth - oh you mean Jon moaning extra hard about his family (before it felt real - now it feels comical) and Ma lacking any threat or even just good acting? I laughed at the scene of her being carried to her car after threatening Punisher and then the long stare as they do a three point turn.. shit was so laughable. A few cool kills but that’s not enough to win me over.

Disney really can’t surpass or even replicate what Netflix did huh? Sad.. I like Born Again enough to watch what I’m sure will be the last season with season 3.

Watching it now. Came during an ad lol I wasn’t expecting them to have him fight through this building like this. Thought this was the idea for Hawkeye. This is crazy so far though

This show was great. I only wish it had run as a 2 hour movie.

I want MORE!!!

@DocSpock - wasn’t it just freakin perfect? Jon Bernthal is the MAN - he is THEE PUNISHER made flesh!

@Lucasberg -

100%. Gotta have more on the big screen and the small one.

It was pretty damn good. Worst thing I can say about it is it left me wanting more.

Didn't really care for it.

Maybe the incessant sound issues soured me on it early, but this just felt like a pointless project; left others wanting more, left me wondering how much longer.

Glad the rest of y'all enjoyed it though.

@EskimoJ - Get a sound bar.
