I'm sure we've had a thread or two on this before but alas the search feature on here is about as useful as........well something that isn't useful at all really
Anyway, watched this recently and figured it'd be not good since it got a reboot apparently but I actually kinda liked it. The family massacre scene was cool in a brutal way, I enjoyed the action etc...........I heard Travolta was OTT prior to watching it but maybe I've watched him so much I'm desensitized to it cause I didn't think he was lol
Mind you a couple of things I thought were silly.....Wouldn't it have been easier for him to do his work if everyone thought he was dead, probably get the police looking for him........And why didn't assassin #1 just go up to the window and put a bullet in his head into of singing to him then ramming him off the road but those quibbles apart
And oh yeah.........A whole multi-generational family for one son......Bit OTT Mrs Saint

I enjoyed it. Wish they would've brought TJ back for the sequel.
One of the things that miffed me was the drug family that just randomly disappeared after making threats at Travolta's character. You lose all that "merchandise" and then don't follow through on threats?

I liked the movie.
The kills were pretty over the top, and awesome.

Ha. Perhaps.
Another thing...I want to know what part of the family came up with the genius idea to WINDSURF to safety!

Still one of my favorite comic book movies. It's still a shame that they didn't follow through with a sequel. I enjoyed the reboot, but I would have preferred to see Jane in the role again.

I maintain that there is nothing offensively bad about this movie, and aside from Travolta as the villain, I really like it.
War Zone I also like, but a little less and in a different way than the first. The first movie is a good adaptation of the comic, War Zone is a more fun, over-the-top actioner.

I had no probs with Johnny boy in the movie, although I kinda thought. he'd get the upper hand at one point after Frank started his vengeance campaign but nope which I thought was different from what you usually get
Gonna borrow Warzone from my pal after I give him back his Punisher DVD lol. Kinda wish Jane had stayed on though, he was a good fit

i like warzone too but i didnt really like Ray Stevenson as the punisher, he doesnt come across pyscho enough he just comes across surly, Thomas Jane has a whole Travis Bickle thing going

I liked Thomas Jane in it. But there is something really depressing about the whole movie, and not in a good way.

I liked the game that came out at the same time. The over the top deaths were fun to do.

I think having the movie set in Tampa rather than New York really sucked a lot of the cool Punisher atmosphere out of it. I know they did it for buget reasons, so it's not their fault. I just wish they would have had a bit more funding.

I greatly enjoyed this movie; Thomas Jane was perfect for the role. Mind you a couple of things I thought were silly.....Wouldn't it have been easier for him to do his work if everyone thought he was dead, probably get the police looking for him........ I always figured he did that as part of his effort to find out who sold him out.

I will say this: War Zone is an excellent adaptation of the Punisher MAX series, where the violence is that over-the-top, and Frank Castle is that psychotic.

It made Frank confronting him in front of the courthouse look pointless without those extra scenes.
