Punisher: War Zone

ActionCrime

Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on overeager mob boss Billy Russoti. After Russoti is left horribly disfigured by Castle, he sets out for vengeance under his new alias: Jigsaw. With the "Punisher Task Force" hot on his trail and the FBI unable to take Jigsaw in, Frank must stand up to the formidable army that Jigsaw has recruited before… From TMDB

    The new Spider Man movie presents the government's security forces as heavily-armed goons who kidnap innocents and cannot be trusted. The film also brings back The Punisher who has previously scorned and fought thuggish cops who appropriated his image for their own ends.

    The Daredevil show is my fav thing the MCU has ever done. Even with comic book movie fatigue I return to it and Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and The Punisher. Street level sumbitches is where it’s at for me. I hope I get to write for one of these characters one day

    Kind of amused by the endless flood of hand wringing news cycles about whether the "gritty" "dark" Punisher can be in the new Spider-Man movie without losing his edge. I love Punisher but he's a comic book character. He's been an angel and a mob boss. In real life he'd be dead in a week.

    Just watched the new Punisher short... Man, Marvel, if you can make a Punisher movie that has basically no plot besides "Frank kills EVERYONE" and still can't figure out how to do Blade right, what the hell is wrong with you?

    Seeing a Spider-Man/Punisher team-up in the new movie reminds me of my favourite one ever, from the 1991 Punisher gameboy game, because WHAT DOES SPIDER-MAN THINK THE PUNISHER WILL DO WHEN HE GETS THERE?

    The best superhero movies are animated. Best Batman movie? "Under the Red Hood" (2010) Best Superman movie? "All-Star Superman" (2011) Best Hulk movie? "Hulk Vs. Wolverine" (2009) Best Black Widow movie? "Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher" (2014). Might also be best Punisher film.

    I’m ranting here because I’m banned from posting on Reddit. I’m reading the bitching about Punisher: One Last Kill and I’ve come to the conclusion that I honestly do not get along with other Comic and movie/TV fans. Like if you don’t like something don’t watch it.

    Just saw Spider-Man:Brand New Day. I liked it. The story was more emotional than I expected, dealing with loneliness, lost love and ultimately reconnecting with society. I loved the out-of-control Hulk design & enjoyed Peter's banters with Punisher and Black Widow. Overall, it was a solid film.

    Not sure I have anything to say about SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY that would surprise anyone. Sometimes it seemed a bit thematically confused but it is a generally competent and enjoyable Spidey movie with an antagonist I was very much not anticipating and fun support in Jonny B’s Punisher

    Captain America: Brave New World isn’t only a pathetic franchise entry but a spineless political thriller as well. An all around missed opportunity from the MCU that offers further proof that the last good Marvel movie was, and will continue to be, Punisher: War Zone.

    #Watched The Punisher (1989) - Dolph as a feral Punisher with painted-on stubble driving a hog through sewers and awkwardly reciting phonetic English. Evil lesbian yakuza vs. mafia stereotypes.

    My only problem with Punisher: One Last Kill is I wish it was a full two hour movie. Emotionally intense, physically visceral - I dug this special. Its wild to me that so much of the focus has been one that one stunt shot, because the rest of this movie is The Raid levels of brutal action. 👍

    I'm floored by how much I loved SPIDER-MAN: BRAND NEW DAY. Peter is forced to reconcile with his bad decision, and his dynamic with Punisher is electric. It's goofy and heavy at once, and Sadie Sink did NOT come to the MCU to play. Also: the film features my all-time favorite trope, so...
