Yeah, corny ass ninjas. You wanna see real movie ninjas, watch a fucking ninja movie. The first Punisher movie is widely known as one of the worst comic book movies of all time, and with no reason. - @Wednesday, April 25, 2012 7:04 PM

They have a Ghost Rider movie and are making another one and they have to Punisher movies and both of them are less known than The Sub-Mariner I am sure. Namor is my favorite hero and I am waithing for a movie. - @Saturday, August 27, 2011 11:34 PM

Great movie, very underrated considering the all star cast. What I can't understand is why that studio felt a reboot was needed after one movie? WTF? From what I've gathered, Thomas Jane was unhappy with the script and the new director and pulled out of the sequel, so the studio recast the part of Frank Castle and rebooted the franchise. Bad idea. First of all, you've got to lock down Jane for at least 3 movies from the start, any knowledgable person knows that. Now this franchise is lost. - @Monday, August 23, 2010 2:18 AM

MrHoratiocaine3

All you people need to get a life. The Punisher with Thomas Jane is a great movie cause all his moves to take down his enemies were tactical and well planned just like in the comics. Punisher War Zone was a little over the top but it tried to stay true to the marvel knights comic genre. But anyway both the movies are a great popcorn watch if you include the one with Thomas Jane. - @Tuesday, July 13, 2010 12:38 AM

IBiteTheHandThatFed

@alaindiazaran I couldn't agree more. Yes WarZone was more true to the comic origins, but it all just run gun splatter and gore. I mean I like gore and all but that fucked up the Punisher for me. Thomas Jane IS the Punisher. It was raw and brutal and believable. He used intellect and cunning to take down his enemies. Plus he didn't look like a once faced manequin with the dryest lines ever. - @Sunday, June 20, 2010 5:39 PM

travolta starred in this movie, hence why its better then warzone, not entirely why its better, hate all you want, but it takes the big actors to make a good movie sometimes - @Tuesday, March 30, 2010 1:25 AM

No argument. This was the best Punisher movie to come out in the oughties... - @Friday, March 19, 2010 1:00 PM

I am not sure which punisher film I like better. Warzone was more intense but this one definitely had better characterization and story - @Thursday, March 11, 2010 7:20 AM

Jesse's reviews

As far as I'm concerned, this was the best Punisher. Warzone had No story and 1989 was good, but the acting was bad. This one had good action, and a great storyline. - @Saturday, December 26, 2009 11:32 PM

hulkster46a

Yeah, Jane and the original director both walked out during preproduction. I can see why, Warzone was a terrible movie. Even if you compared it too the Dolph Lundgren version, its still terrible, and Lundgrens was just plain bad. Janes Punisher was the best. - @Saturday, December 12, 2009 7:13 PM

Have you played the video game based on the movie? It is very graphic, but worth the play. I thought producers should of borrowed from it when they were making the sequel. And in addition too Jane, have Saint, survive the explosion and become Jigsaw. I could of pictured Travolta wanting revenge on Castle. Not just for his family, but for becoming Jigsaw. In the game, John Saint survived the explosion and became Jigsaw, why not make a sequel like that? I would of definately seen it. - @Thursday, December 3, 2009 6:36 AM

hulkster46a

I bought a previously viewed dvd of Warzone today, for 5 dollars. It was ok, the best is Thomas Janes version. If they make a number 3, I hope they bring back Jane and the original director. It was a waste of $5, but I'm glad I didn't buy it when it was first released on dvd, usually they run about $20+, so I saved $15. LOL - @Sunday, November 8, 2009 4:35 AM

hulkster46a

They should of had Jane for the sequel, HE IS the Punisher. Plus I saw an interview with Jane, the guy loves comics and the character of Castle. I guess he had a falling out with the producers for the sequel, but if he had been in it, I would of seen it. - @Saturday, November 7, 2009 5:02 PM

HKA25

Does it really matter if it was 100% true to the comics or just a little?? No it doesn't because this is the best Punisher movie out there. Warzone is the worst!!! True to the comics? Yes? Crap? Also!! ;) - @Saturday, October 3, 2009 6:25 PM

Dude Thomas Jane is an actor not a writer... You need someone to write the movie like the new Marvel Max Punisher comics. Don't blame an actor for a writers job... - @Friday, December 5, 2008 12:34 AM

bigJ09z

the Punisher is the most violent character Marvel has mad.The new Punisher is based off the brutal and violent Max series.Tom Jane did not beleive in the new take on the punisher to go with it.This new Punisher is a reboot like the incrediable Hulk.Pluse it is way more violent and bloody,gory. - @Sunday, October 12, 2008 5:41 PM

PHANTOM

Thomas Jane was great as the Punisher, it's a dam shame we won't have the pleasure to see him in the next one. The other guy playing the Punisher in WarZone looks too old and looks like a drunk lol. Thomas Jane is in great shape and has a officiated and menacing look that is perfect for the Punisher. - @Tuesday, September 16, 2008 3:41 AM
