The Punisher
The avenging angel of Marvel Comics fame comes brilliantly to life in this searing action-adventure thriller! Dolph Lundgren stars as Frank Castle, a veteran cop who loses his entire family to a mafia car bomb. His ex-partner believes Castle survived the blast and became the Punisher, living in the sewers and exacting vigilante violence against mob bosses throughout the city. When the populace is caught in the midst… From TMDB

60 of 227 · most liked firstThe 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.

positive · AI labelView post →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?
neutral · AI labelView post →I am very, very up for a Spider-Man film where Spider-Man kicks the Punisher in the face.

neutral · AI labelView post →Spider-Man: Brand New Day was great. The combat was amazing especially the ninjas, I loved seeing the Hulk back in action and the Punisher-Spidey dynamic worked really well. The movie nailed how much Peter sacrifices to be Spider-Man and how fundamentally good he is. Loved it. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ out of ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

negative · AI labelView post →#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. The most grindhouse Marvel movie? They couldn’t even be fucked to put a skull on his chest. Fun trash.

neutral · AI labelView post →God bless Dead Domain for jumping on that grenade and reviewing this repugnant piece of sub-amateur hour hot trash. This movie is basically if The Punisher was made by a basement dwelling chud who gets his news and worldview from /pol/. Well worth a watch, especially for the morbidly curious.

positive · AI labelView post →My son is doing homework in the basement where all my drawing stuff is, so I'm spending the afternoon playing The Punisher and watching a Hallmark Christmas movie.
neutral · AI labelView post →Really good movie. It's probably the most emotional Spider-Man movie. I didn't expect the main villain to be who it was. The Punisher is a scene-stealer and The Hand is very cool. Sometimes I wondered where the plot was going, but it remained interesting throughout. Had a fun time!

Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn't remember him—and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him—sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might also be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.…

unlabelledView post →The underlying problem with criticizing audiences for "not getting" Sicario is that we have easily a century's worth of evidence that you can't make an "anti" film and have the thing it's against be aesthetically compelling. It's the Punisher - Dredd - 40k problem.

Well, I'm back to take it all back after sitting through his work in The Punisher: One Last Kill on Disney+.

unlabelledView post →I watched my personal favorite version of The Punisher, a movie that probably should have won Best Picture over Anora, an underrated Arnold movie, and a comedy-horror that actually had me reminiscing about prom like I was Charlton Heston in Wayne's World 2 #lastfourwatched #letterboxdfriday
unlabelledView post →The Punisher being in the new Spider-Man feels like Charles Bronson as Paul Kersey turning up in the Power Rangers film.
unlabelledView post →Just a quick reminder that the Punisher was a movie about a guy killing corrupt cops. They really miss the mark with this one every time.
unlabelledView post →#Comics The Punisher Movie Special Published in 1990 by Marvel Comics this loose adaptation of the 1989 Dolph Lundgren led Punisher movie was notably different from the film in multiple ways including the Punisher wearing the iconic skull shirt while in the movie he does not.
unlabelledView post →Admittedly, while accurate of the Punisher being in a Spider-Man film, I assumed Jon Bernthal would not be game for the Punisher being in a PG-13 film, especially Spider-Man but it sounds like he is given he'll be in Spider-Man: Brand New Day.
unlabelledView post →I find this to be a funny response as this is the film with the Punisher, Hulk and the main antagonist is not only not a Spider-Man villain or even a Spider-Man character, but someone from an entirely different franchise.
