The Yarg's Movie Reviews - Punisher: War Zone
By: The Yarg
 Punisher: War Zone via IGN.com What can I say about this new look into the world of the Punisher? Hmmm… well I will admit first and foremost, I have never picked up the comics myself, most will say that’s horrible, others will say who cares. Anyways, I saw this film opening night with a female friend of mine, also, a nonreader of the series. From start to finish, this film is violent, bloody, shoot them up, don’t ask questions til after its all done, insanity, free runners, surface to air missles, and multiple broken body parts. This Punisher film, does not follow the Thomas Jane’s 2004 Punisher storyline, from what I gather, its closer to the comics storyline. It starts up 5 years into the Punishers vendetta against the corrupt and unjust, with him in the swing of things. Where he comes across his new targets, Jigsaw, and his brother Loony Bin Jim, aka James. They vow to take revenge on Castle for what he did to Jigsaw, and are itching to take him out, cue violent death scenes… The ONLY problem I have with this film, is that Frank Castle is SUPERHUMAN strong, there are a few people that he punches in the face, but his fist all but goes through their HEAD! I’m not talking like with a weapon, but just his fist, goes through one guys face, like it was made of jello. Other than that, it was a superb action packed film, filled with madness and mayhem. This film is a X rating compared to 2004’s The Punisher, but probably still considered PG compared to the comics. Let’s just say, that at the theatre I saw it at, they made it unofficially NC-17, and did not let ANY kids in to see it. Punisher: War Zone gets 8 out of 10 Snapping Zombie Heads |
