I have to write about this movie and get it off of my chest!! What the heck was that?? I honestly felt like I was taken through at time warp and landed back in 1985!! I have not seen such a horrible, bloody, and silly gore fest since Robocop, but I actually liked Robocop! That movie had a plot! This movie did not...
The movie started out ok, with the Punisher movie through a mob house killing everyone that moved, but then once he got onto the flying trapeze (a chandalier) I started to groan a lot. I am really glad that Ray Stevenson did not talk much in the movie, because it was a horribly written movie, it reminded me of stories I wrote in seventh grade about the made up super-heroes that I had created.
There was no character development at all, it seemed like if you did not know anything about the Punisher comics then you would have no idea who Soap and Microchip were, and by the way who the heck was the Carlos, Latin King character? Obviously, he was just some cannon fodder for Jigsaw. The character development was so bad that in the final scene of the movie, I did not even care who got shot, because I did not care about any of them.
I was happy that the movie actually had one of Punisher's rogue villians, but can some one please explain to me the wardrobe choice that Jigsaw made in the final scene, talk about 1985, Members Only!!
The only good thing about this movie was the portrayal of Martin Soap by Dash Mihok.
He was very much like the character in the comic book, I just wish they paired him up with his partner from the comic...Molly Von Richthofen, and they should have fought Ma Gnucci!! That would have been nice!
I am dissappointed in the way that the Marvel Comic Movies ended this year, but I have the Spirit to see before the end of the year so hopefully that will restore my faith in comic book films.
Let me just say that if I was to watch another Punisher movie this year, this would be it....
And I would enjoy it much, much more than Punisher War Zone...do youself a favor and stay home for this one!!
