Milkman delivers Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 (edited) I saw The Punisher: War Zone earlier. It wasn't nearly as good as the first one. The first one was one of the best comic book movies ever. This one completely changed the storyline (which I found unnecessary and disliked) and was way, way over the top. EDIT: It really missed Thomas Jane. Edited December 6, 2008 by Milkman delivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santo=dorf Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Hate to rehash an old topic, but the second punisher was not one of the best comic book movies of all time. I watched one of those, Superman, earlier today. I might see this punisher just because of how violent and bad it's suppsed to be. I could've sworn there was talk awhile ago of making this movie rated PG-13. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually agree with you on movies, but you couldnt be more wrong if you tried, especially on the theme of it being the best comic book movie of all time. The Thomas Jane punisher has barely any connection to the comic book character. If they changed the names of the characters in that movie and just made it an action/revenge movie about a guy whose family was killed, nobody would know the difference. The Punisher IS over the top, thats the way the comic book is. He just kills and kills in many different violent ways, its just the way it is. If thats the way the Ray Stevenson Punisher is, Im all for it. Edited December 7, 2008 by kyyle23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 "The second one" = Punisher with Thomas Jane. That Punisher had a great opening, but like kyyle said, it came off more like a Charles Bronson "Death Wish" movies. Dark Knight, Batmans Begins and Iron Man are in their own class. Then I'd toss Superman, X2, Batman (1989,) Hellboy, Spider-Man 2, The Incredible Hulk together. Third Stage: X-Men, X-Men 3, Superman 2, Batman Returns, Spider-Man, Spider-Man 3, Spawn, Punisher (Jane) 4th: Batman Forever, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Daredevil, Judge Dredd Bottom of the Barrel: Catwoman, Elektra, Superman 3, Superman 4, Batman and Robin, and probably this new Punisher.

StrangeSox Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I thought the 2004 Punisher movie was awful. The second Futurama movie was funny for the first 30 minutes or so, but really boring after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when I said the Superman movie was terrible, I meant the one that just came out. It was incredibly boring. Yeah, I forgot to throw Superman returns into the middle pack. I'm not so sure why Singer decided to go so slow paced and long with that movie. He was trying to connect it to happen after the second movie, so maybe he felt like people needed a refresher.

ThunderBolt Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Lex Luther's evil plan in Returns might have been one of the most illogical and ill-conceived evil plans ever written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he even said as much(in regards to refreshing peoples memory of the first two movies). I understood what he was trying to do, and why he did it, I just think he overestimated the reaction that would come for a movie like that. I think he biggest fault, and coincidentally his greatest move, was to bring Lex Luthor in as the bad guy(yet again). Spacey was awesome as a ruthless Lex Luthor, but come on, in every movie Superman has gone up against Lex Luthor except for Superman 3, and in that movie he went against himself. That has been done over and over, it was time for Brainiac or Bizzaro or even Doomsday to make an appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Gleason Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I just saw BORAT for the first time the other night. Was not much of a fan of it. I found the social/racial stuff interesting, but there was way too much sex stuff. Yeah, I'm a prude I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
