When a movie is good, I have the desire to praise and recommend it, when it's bad I have the need to criticize it, and those really desperate inspire me to make fun of them. "Punisher: War Zone" does not belong to any of these groups. To me, this is the worst kind of movie, because you can not either love it or hate it. It leaves you totally indifferent because it's drowning in a boring mediocrity. This film does not bring absolutely nothing but the nearly two hours of continuous gunfire, and even that is not on a particular level. Neither is tense, nor is it exciting, nor does it have interesting choreography and directing. Absolutely nothing noteworthy. Unprovoked, completely pointless and redundant film. In comparison with its 2004 predecessor, this is a complete failure.5/10

I really enjoyed The Punisher (2004) though I don't think Thomas Jane made a good Punisher he is a competent enough actor to have pulled it off.When I heard about this one 4yrs later I had no interest, I was frustrated that it had essentially been rebooted and that Jane was no longer playing Frank Castle.Here we are 9yrs later I've finally given it a chance and I'm saddened I didn't earlier. Punisher: War Zone is not the brainless action flick cash grab that I expected, in fact it rivals the 2004 version.For a start Ray Stevenson is perfectly cast as The Punisher, he looks perfect and blows Jane & even Lungren out of the water. He thoroughly takes the role and makes it his amidst a host of great actors and characters.Extremely violent and quite loyal to the original material this is something I could have gotten behind if it had become a franchise.I'm not an action junkie, in fact I'd say it is by far one of my least favourite genres but when its done right like it is here it makes for some great entertainment.Ignore the critics and put the 2004 version aside for a moment, War Zone is a damn decent film.The Good: Remarkably violent (As it should be) Awesome soundtrack Very competent cast Ray Stevenson makes a great Punisher The Bad: Accents are hit and miss Recasting/Reebooting so soon after the last movie was a stupid move Hero is a Christian, villain is an atheist. Overwhelming irony Jigsaw monologue scene was dumb Things I Learnt From This Movie:I would love to see this Punisher added to the Marvel Universe R-Rated superhero movies were a thing before Deadpool Julie Benz is ageless

Guys,in my opinion,that is the best movie ever done about the punisher. The people complaint about "way too much violence" and "strong language" but they don't see that this is the essence of the character.We all know that the bests histories of the punisher is that ones when he kills,torture and brutalized everyone. The director and the writer did a rare and exclusive thing:They bring all the violence and the good points of the comics to the movie.The actor Ray Stevenson(different of the 2004 actor's)Really looks like frank castle;Dominic West did a great job Whit Jigsaw,as Doug Hutchson did with "Loony Bin Jin" Resuming,i think that this is the best movie,because it really bring the comics universe to the movies.

This movie is very entertaining, and if you aren't a comic book fan boy, you will love this movie. But, if you don't like movies that are so bad they hilarious and very entertaining, you will hate this film. It is definitely not a movie that everyone will like, but it is very entertaining. The special effects are hilarious and over the top, and so is the acting. The dialog is very cheesy and hilarious, and again, very over the top. It is like "The Room" of action movies, but trust me, this movie is WAAAAAAY more entertaining the room, and it is WAAAAAY funnier than the room. This movie knows it dumb, and it doesn't take itself seriously. It's just a great movie to watch with friends, and I guarantee you will laugh at this movie. This is probably the best so bad its hilarious movie I've ever seen (its better than Samurai Cop!) Now, I gave this 10/10, and most people believe that this means that Punisher: War Zone is one of my favorite movies of all time. It's not. I give it a 10/10 because its one of the most entertaining movies I've ever seen, and it does everything it aims to do perfectly.
