  • Aaaaaaaaaaaahahahaha,this movie sucks so bad,it´s fucking horrendous,I love it!!! Seen it twice already,aaaaaaaahahaha,you guys are funny,thank you!

  • Wow! you seem like a true Punisher fan. I admit Punisher is purely violence and gore and should have been handled with care and a higher budget. Using Vancouver all the time to be US look like is getting old, although I am from the later. I honestly would like to enjoy a Punisher movie with the intensity of war zone and made with utmost care.

  • I liked "warzone". Brutal :)

  • I liked warzone. A Punisher-movie must be brutal (which this is) othervise it's not Punisher :). Will they do any more Punisher -movie?

  • I haven't seen the one from the 80's but I have seen the 2004 version and War Zone, and I really like both of them.

  • lol more impressive visuals than 2004? dont make me laugh, you can tell the explosions in war zone were edited in with windows movie maker

  • bs :) the one from 2004 wasn't even close to being as good as warzone

  • This character is my favorite i have the original issues from marvel previews i have the entire max series and 40 issues of the first series written by mike baron but out of all theese comic movies this one tops them all with trueness to its origins. shows his origin but not to long just a flash back like in most issues and even in his first issues bloody and action packed .Great movie for all the guys in the military who love this guy and for all the action fans! Make a sequel Stevenson!

  • Sadly, the 2004 movie WAS a terrible Punisher movie ! Punisher equals action and the remake with Tom Jane didn't deliver that. It gave us a wrong origin that became the whole story. It could've been two hours of explosive action scenes, but all us Punisher fans got was something out of an early 70s western ! What was up with all of the ssslllooow...ness ?? War Zone, on the other hand, finally gave us the Frank Castle we've been waiting for. He's a "less talk, more action" kind of guy, after all.

  • i am so glad Punisher war zone didnt get cut or altered, if it did, i wouldn't be the hardcore punisher fan i am right now

  • hell no, this one was a masterpiece, the other was just terriblely adapted.

    they got it right with this one

  • I bet you just thought the X-Men series was wonderful too! In fact, I take it you love all of the hollywood ruined comic based moves. First Punisher was hollywood trash, this one got it right based on the comic. Jump off a bridge

  • I think telling people the movie is good because it is like the comics isn't a good argument. The movie is good because it's hilarious and violent and stupid, which is something that Michael Bay thinks he's good at but isn't. I had more fun watching Punisher War Zone than I did watching The Dark Knight, and I love Batman more than any other character, but PWZ was just totally different in a good way.

  • Its because of Punisher War Zone that makes me rekindle my love with the Punisher. People who says this Film Sucks Ass should go and read more Punisher MAX comics. The violence, gore and the killings are almost as violent as the comics.. Simply awesome right from the start. Budiansky, Soap, Jigsaw are all from the MAX comics..

  • Personally, I like all three Punisher movies. I know he keeps saying the 2004 movie was terrible, but if it wasn't for the amount it made in rentals and sales, this movie wouldn't had been made. So you have to give it some credit. Plus I'm pretty sure Gale Anne Hurd did work on the 2004 one and the Terminator movies, so she can't be all bad.

  • do u like see in the end he been beat up like doll rag can put up the fight?

  • What i don't understand is how Jigsaw could get so goddamn strong after getting his body totally messed up... Shouldn't he get weaker because of that? o.o

    Also Frank is a little too overpowered for my tastes

  • War Zone was a B movie to me. Absolutely ridiculous. That Jigsaw brother was nothing but a fat idiot bald midget, and punisher a complete showoff. His knives chop heads, his punches destroy skulls, and god i hate so much that first scene where he hangs shooting in every direction: they confused Frank Castle with Antonio Banderas in a Tarantino movie.

    2004 one wasn't a very good movie but a lot better than this crap. I'm even doubting about Dolph Lundgren's one being better tan War Zone!

  • Punisher war zone sucked ass. A fist through a mans head? really? A single 9mm bullet blowing a mans head to bits? i mean the 04 one was just as bad but at least it was realistic. to tell you the truth, i think comic book based films are going down the drain. take this movie for example. even spider-man is starting to get retarded. i just dont know what to think.

  • It's just a movie, but i get your point.

  • i watched this film its so damn good that i watched it 7 times the previous punisher was so boring that everytime i watched it i was falling a sleep.

  • Keep in mind that 2004's The Punisher was based on Garth Ennis' "Welcome Back Frank Castle" comic books released in the early 2000's. The film was faithful to that particular volume in that regard. But that is an aquired taste, and i personally like the 2008 one better.

  • Lexi Up! Hurd Down! Lexi Rules! Hurd Sucks!

  • Fuck! Gale Anne Turd! this Punisher movie kicked ass!, so much better than the 04 movie.I am buying this on DvD when out comes out.

  • I thought the 04 punisher was alright tbh, i didn't like castle's housemates cos they fucked up the badass-ness of it but other than that it was ok. i just think they need to give the franchise a large budget and get some badass dude to direct it. john woo anyone? :)

  • Lexi Alexander was NOT removed from the project she went on her honeymoon you stupid asshole. You obviously didn't do your research.

  • I heard she was in LA the day of comicon. Believe what you want...

  • I h8 to brake it to you, bro, but the Punisher film franchise was in the toilet since the start of the 1989's Punisher with Dolph Lundgrens abomination. Hollywood and Marvel have had a stab at the three Punisher films but each has been slightly better than the last and each have failed. It's a shame.The Punisher is one of the most interesting anti-heros in Marvel and instead have turned in nothing along with DD, Hulk, Ghost Rider, Eleckra, I could go on and on but this is an amazing film.

  • The truth is that they release it at a shitty time. You don't release a movie like the Punisher War Zone during the Christmas season. Should have waited until summer.

  • I don't see what was so wrong with the 2004 Punisher. Yes, it was a bit campy and it was more of a "revenge" storyline rather than the entire Punisher theme. But still... I liked it. Though I've got to say, I liked War Zone much better, much closer to the actual film... but hey, people need to stop being so critic about films. They're films! Sit your ass down, grab a bucket of popcorn, and enjoy it. Just like a slasher film, don't bitch about the effects, just wait for the killer to strike

  • Dude. WTF. The song in the second song (the one by Ramallah) is great. Also, liked "Step Up" by Drowning Pool in the '04 Punisher. Ah, well. Guess I'm a 'metal fan' then.

  • weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

  • OUT WITH GALE ANNE HURD!!!! seriously wtf is wrong with hollywood fucking up movies these days!

  • The 2004 Punisher movie had a much lower budget than War Zone. Do some research, buddy.

  • damn the acting RAY DID HIS JOB PEOPLE HE IS THE PUNISHER thats his job to kick bad guys ass He isnt suppose to be soft you DUMB ASSES

  • iam a big punisher fan(have alot of his swagg and comics) and and tom jane as punisher was lame as fuck ray did a OutStanding job,he didnt talk alot,he was very brutal(lol remember the part when thy were n the house and the shotgun to the dude face lol) and hes just great all around actor ,,, EVERY LAST PERSON RISE AND BECOME PART OF A ARMY AND NOT LET GALE ANNE HURD FUCK UP PUNISHER!

  • The dialogue was pretty bad, but the action was well worth it.

  • The 2004 movie had believable dialogue, whereas War Zone's dialogue was lacking. However, War Zone had amazingly over-the-top action and was closer to the comic book. A combination of the two movies would be the best Punisher film of all time.

  • Not good but a step forward for Punisher movies. Story arranged not well arranged and the villians were too comedic. However, I must say Ray Stevenson fulfills the character and image of Frank Castle better than Dolph Lundgrin or Thomas Jane. Dolph did ok. Jane was a f*ckin disaster. Jane couldn't even get close. Ray Stevenson reigns as the official real life Punisher. In certain parts of the movie you'd swear you were looking in the comic when the camera focuses on Stevenson.

  • i dont think you understand what im saying then.

    im saying the dialogue + attempt at being serious = horrible acting/script

    somewhere, something went wrong

    essentially the characters felt impossible to "buy into"

  • I really don't think they were trying to be serious at all. I think she saw some Punisher Warzone comics and notice how FUCKING CRAZY ACTION FILLED AWSOMENESS it was and decided to make this a FUCKING CRAZY ACTION FILLED AWSOMENESS movie.

  • taking it as a FUCKING CRAZY ACTION FILLED AWESOMENESS movie helps improve the overall value of the movie. but that doesnt make it amazing. it just makes it a gorefest.

    essentially, if all they were trying to do was make a brutal action movie than awesome.

    but if the dialogue was an attempt to help progress the story forward, then that was the problem.

    so to clarify my opinion

    the action was great in this movie (except blowing up the dude mid-flip on the roof, that was stupid)

  • yeah I admit that was kinda stupid but me and my bud still laughed. aw man good times.

  • should have seen this wasted now that i think about it

  • No, it left out action for a crappy storyline involving guitar playing assassins and fake fire hydrants.

  • This movie was amazing! Thomas Jane did play a good role in the 2004 movie but it wasnt the punisher I have grown to admire from the comic books. Thomas Jane made the punisher look like a boyscout with a hand gun. This new guy looks like the punisher acts like the punisher even kills like the punisher nuff said...

  • There was nothing wrong with this movie; she obviously didn't have time to put her crappy two cents into the project, infact it's the best punisher to date, not one boring moment in the movie; the only way this new punisher will get butchered is if they make a sequal; it ended with Stevenson continueing to do what he does best, we don't need another one A few more games will do just fine just no more movies.

  • umm, 2004 wan't dissapopinting

  • ok. they didnt alter the film. they altered a trailer. christ on a stick

    Not everyone likes the whole clean cut stuff anyways. some people like the old film grain, and like I said its in a trailer, not the movie. They want to grab the attention of everyone, not just fans, anyone who'll pay.

    The movie is 1:54 mins long, or about that. and there's no need to do origins. maybe a flashback. And the less talk in this movie, the better.

    words dont work well in firefights anyways, just bullets.

  • in the red band trailer for this movie, is looney bin jim biting someones internal organ?

  • yup he attacks the nurse that is taunting him

  • honestly, the metal trailer made me more excited to see it...honestly.

  • The soundtrack is fucking nasty Rob Zombie Slipknot Slayer and Seether are all on it

  • this movie is now being reviewed by critics, and has highly positive reviews. the movie also has a running time of 1 hour and 47 minutes.

  • It has 16 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Sounds like highly positive reviews to me. Oh well.

  • rotten tomatoes also gave highschool musical 3 a 65%. believe them if you want, but they are wrong about 70% of the time. besides, dont you think the PWZ looks kick-ass?

  • Yes... I still though the 2004 one was cool. It was exactly what it was supposed to be. People are ripping that cause Tom Jane is a good actor? I don't get it.

  • Punisher War Zone is now tied for my favorite movie with the Thomas Jane Punisher movie. It was incredible.

  • If they do cut it down there will probably still be an unrated version that will be released on dvd. As far as the soundtrack goes the punisher is the most metal comic character ever, of course the soundtrack is going to have metal( even though they chose to use the more popular metal than the kind that would actually fit the character)

  • As far as I'm concerned a lot of movies use metal in their trailers it does not mean anything. Clips released after this was posted confirm that it will have a musical score, and Lexi is still behind this production. I've heard the soundtrack and it's not great but that's no reflection of the film.  I've found that the best movies often have the worst soundtracks and vice versa. And 3/4 of the time you won't even hear the majority of the songs from the OST in the movie. I think ur misinformed

  • I don't know much about the whole Alexander/Hurd dispute, but I do know that I can't stand when movies just use a bunch of metal songs as their soundtrack, instead of using an official score for their movie. I liked the first trailer more than the second tbh.

  • WHAT a BITCH.

  • Insult who you want but try to abuse the film a little lesser. If possible don't abuse it at all. Many people expect it to be really good especially after the success of the recent marvel films. Anyway the film looks good and the other trailers show a lot more. Try viewing the short clips released. Anyway i agree that the previous film wasn't the punisher i expected. Good video.

  • Neocaleb! This is so true. The last Punisher was a disaster. Jane looked like a male model more than he did an Ex-CTU and SF Commando. Stevenson reminds me of many men I served with in the "field". Gale Ann Hurd has ruined many films and cannot be allowed to ruin this one. The "Punisher" is supposed to be violent; rough; worn out; mean; ruthless; tough and manly...but with some compassion for the weak. If what you say is true, someone should rally to stop this travesty.

  • well my view of this

    the last punisher actor actually makes sense with the comic book one by looks thats what i mean......except the movie didnt have alot of what we would expect from the Punisher....

    but i fuckin love the Punisher movie 2004 version

    if your gonna go cry about something that you think they did a horrible job on the 2004 version go do the filming and shit yourself you wont even get a 1 star rating

    youll probably win the Worst rated movie grammy award of all time...

  • I was going to write my thoughts but you summed them up. Thanks. 2004's kicked ass.

  • thank you oh and your welcomed

  • i second mathematicus

  • This is fucking gay they never fired him he still with the movie

    look it up ass ho before say shit

  • i dont appreciate u talkin shit about one of my fav movies....sure this may be an action packed adrenaline rush,, but it looks like theres no substance, and little story...the punisher in this movie seems like a terrible actor too....the last 1 was fuckin realistic,,this....not so much

    still looks good, but too fantasy

  • Ray stevenson filled more realistical approach in terms of military clothing (homage to the spandex one); His underground tunnel base of operations; His expenses in weapons more than his physical helath and food; his rough hair; his skull like face and bad atitude or pessimistic point of view from life and corruption on the highest echelons when he talks with agent Budiansky; his everlastin obsession in destroying whole mob families; and at last his methods of killing were The Punisher.!!!

  • y day dooin al dis?

  • wow,

    you people are retarded,

    the last punisher movie did well,but you wouldnt know that because you dont bother to check,

    you use your own opinion on the movie.

    Well news for ya,everyone has different opinions,

    I myself thought it was pretty good,and was kinda disappointed to know they were changing the cast,but maybe stevenson will do an even better job, (but i wont be watching the movie if it is only 82 mins.)which is probally just another over exagerated rumor you posted,

  • You should check out the update video we made, maybe then you wouldn't be so angry.

  • Ultimately is has been MARVEL's fuck up for a long time. Avi arad should go down that bitches house and put a boot up her ass. MARVEL hears the roars of punisher fans. thats why they made the MAX comics. so why do they allow this kind of bullshit to happen?

  • I'm sure that the 102 minute version is way better . . .

    You know that was the problem with the '04 version, they took so much of the movie out. That's why the story was so weak

    If you watch the director's cut it's AWESOME

    But really the movies don't HAVE to be like the comics, a good movie is different than a good comic

  • i say we punish hurd 4 her blasphemy against us punisher fans.

  • i think that the 1st one was good although im not a hug fan of the comic like others so yeahh.. but i really dont get is what is anne gae hurd changing the gore the story or what can some one tell me?

  • The comic was somewhat gorey, more so than the first movie. One time whenever Captain America was recruiting villains to fight for him(Because they needed the help.)The Punisher walked in and seen them and shot one in the head. lmao Needless to say Cap punched him out though.

  • if they do cut it down it is a marketing ploy. They can appeal to a big audience with pg-13 then when the dvds come out they will issue directors cut

  • Yeah, I just saw the 2004 movie. I loved it, but I have to say that I saw more action in those trailers than the whole 2004 movie...which is kinda sad...I'm looking forward to this movie!

  • 82 minutes? That's crap.

  • I don't know why you hated the 2004 Punisher movie so much. It was actually pretty good and Thomas Jane made a great Frank Castle. My main gripe with that movie was the lack of action and him sitting there taking shots while listening to Seether and Amy Lee.

    This one is looking like Marvel's finally going to get a good movie.

  • i like tom jane better

  • i agree with you i think Tom Jane was perfect for that role

  • why the hate for the 2004's punisher

    i liked it, sure it wasnt like the comics but it was still good and i think thomas jane did a good job

  • I liked the redband trailer, made me want to see the film...violence, blood and gore...I love it. But then I heard they were gonna edit the film to be pg13, so no more gore. I'm gonna see it regardless, but if its wack, I won't buy the DVD. But I kind of hope the DVD will have an unrated version with gore and all...these are just hopes, even if its not like the comic, I just wanna see a good action movie

  • I actually own a lot of the original art from the MAX series comics (Almost 100 pieces) And YES i am a NERD but a nerd that can kick some asses if need be,but i am no chimp so sorry if i offended you thePunisher2 as you seem to be all for this movie and i can tell you all now that if you like the MAX series you are gonna love this movie. I can just sense it is going to RULE with good old Frank (Castigleone's) Castle's so called moral mass murder but HEY somebody has to Punish the corrupt RIGHT.

  • When "The Punisher:Warzone" is released, go watch it and see if the original directors vision was preserved or enhanced.now if you really want to talk about a crappy "Punisher" movie, let's focus on the 1989 trainwreck starring Dolph"Ivan Drago"Lundgren.that movie just sucked horribly.

  • once again people get up in arms about being called "nerds" or "chimps" and as for the person who suggested i change my name to "thenerdchimp2" i wasn't directing my thoughts toward you guys and girls who like the comic books. stop taking offense to the word "nerd" embrace it say " Yes I'm a nerd and I'm proud of it" but don't criticize a movie that hasn't been released yet and make stupid comments on someone because you don't like their style of directing.

  • MORON, Lexi is still on the project. She released a new video on the official site as of OCTOBER. So you feel stupid now, don't you?

    Plus, I LIKE THE RED BAND TRAILER, music and all. So just relax buddy. It's a fucking trailer, not the movie.

    Punisher will be the comic translation we want.

  • Man I have been excited for this ever since I heard it was coming out. The first movie SUCKED... and this one looks amazing..then after all the hassle about Lexi being gone and others.. it got me worried.. the trailers still make it look pretty bad ass...so im sure it will top the last one..but I hope some day we can see a TRUE Directors Cut(Lexi's original intentions)

  • Its true what Punisher2 said. The movies never follow strictly to the books, but sometimes they turn out to be really good. A good example is The Dark Knight. They're actually in separate universes when you think about it.

  • Well us comic book "nerds" make a lot of the fans that will see these movies. Untill most recently almost all comic books movies have been failures including Spider man.

    The new take on the ultimate series will really make a new stand in the movies. And as far as this movie goes and this post I really understand. I was really hoping this movie would take a more part on the comic book of the punisher and the war journal.

    I just hope this bitch doesn't butcher all of it.

  • everytime they release a movie based on a comic book ,the nerds get up in arms if it doesn't follow the book exactly. get over it. what part of "BASED ON THE COMIC BOOK" do you chimps not get.If it followed the book exactly you wouldn't watch the film because you've already read the book. so shut up and watch the freakin' movie when it comes out and then if you don't like it ,then bitch.

  • your name is THEPUNISHER2 so by the sound of it you are a NERD therefore must be a CHIMP as well according to yourself. I think you should just call yourself THENERDCHIMP2 it would really suit you and your NERDCHIMP opinions.

  • yeah! im with u on this one. watch the movie then bitch if u got a problem that way you got proof to back up your statements.

  • I hate how they put out a good movie, that doesn'tclosely follow the comic, ends up being awsome, then they ruin it by making a DIFFERENT movie, calling it a sequal, and making just like the comic, so no one can possibly keep up unless they are Obssessed with Punsher.

  • Well who deserves a CORRECT PunisheR film someone who cannot keep up because it is just a movie to them or an obssessed PunisheR fan? Sorry i forgot the bottom line is the dollar so F--K all the true fans ehh.

  • Im a punisher fan and despite changing the origin a bit I think Punisher is best played by humanizing him. I liked Thomas Jane's punisher despite the lack of action and the change in origin. You can blame Garth ennis for the 04 version because those neighbors was in the Welcome Back Frank storyline.

    My problem with Garth Ennis Punisher even his Max version as entertaining as he is, simply that his version is just a one dimensional sociopath with no real depth who fights a bunch of freaks.

  • story is super simple franks familly gets killed just like last story but its cause a mobster attack in the city frank did the guy with a landmine guy comes back as jigsaw wel and then you can keep up this movie is gonna be better cause the ray stevenson is a much better punisher and the gore level in this movie is way upgraded , don worry you gonna like it

  • This movie just looked like a sequel to Shoot'em Up. It probably isn't good either way.

  • The punisher movie in 04 was great. I think that this movie will probably be not even close to this at all.

  • are you even a punisher fan, or even heard of him before the 04 movie

  • The only movie that was good out of the comic books was spider man (first one) and batman begins and the dark knight so far.

  • thats true

  • Very good point THEAVENGER68 The 04 movie was OK but as a take on the Punisher it was a shocker. Why not make a spiderman movie where he is pub brawling bastard with no morals. WHY coz it is just not spidey. OR a Superman movie where he is the arrogant male striper Clark Kent by day.WHY coz if you are gonna even bother selling the movie as that comic character MAKE it that F---ing character. The next thing you know a movie on the Bible will have a black Jesus and Chinese israelites.

  • Why doesn't anyone like the previous punisher movie? I'm not huge on the comic scene but it was a good movie IMO. Why can't people just enjoy movies for being movies, why does it have to follow the comic exactly?

  • i would have enjoyed the 04 film had they called it something else besides Punisher.

  • in the 2004 version they got the skull wrong. The teeth were suppose to be magazine pouches (bandoleer) just like in punisher war zone. The punisher war journal issue 3 had a cool effect by having bullets as the teeth

  • are you fucking serious....

  • There's an update to the video, the 8:17 video response to this one. Check that out.

  • because it is not the Punisher if you don't follow the story to the "T" the Punisher and his family were picnicing in central park. his wife and children were flying a kite and stumbled in on a mob hit. they were gunned downed frank hears the shots and goes to investigate and is shot as well. is it that freaking hard to follow a story that anyone who is a fan of the punisher knows and loves sheeesh.

  • i thought the 04 one was great it was little less dark compared to what i thought the punisher was but i liked all the same and i aint the only one,

  • 3rd time lucky so if this movie DOES suck and i think it will NOT i am going to F---ing cry and kill the Marvel universe.

  • well here are some tissues, until someone in Hollywood gets a brainfart and releases a respectable Punisher film its gonna be one big sad crying cesspool of dissapointed Punisher fans.

  • They sucker harder then their mama's li[s at the tip of a vacuum cleaner in Bangkok on channel 9 The British sex network!

  • hahahaha!!!!!!!

  • fuck G.P.A they use to love Matt Fraction and instill hate. Fuck those Hippocrates! Those guys are bitches to the power of 3! No wonder why they let Punisher become a pussy on film because all the fans are assholes and cockmaster 2000s with th kung fu anally lubed grip for on hand instant masturbation! These guys suck harder then my ex girlfriends and their mother at a co*keating contest! Always one step behind, acting genuine! Merry 5uckin Fuckmas G.P.A!(Gay Pride Association)Slutmasters.

  • well i love marvel comics and i didnt think the 04 movie wasnt to bad you have to remember that there was another movie that i thought was far worse um lets see dolf lungrean as frank castle compared to him i think tom jain didnt do so bad

  • why did lexi alexander get fired?

  • We won.

  • Stupid fanboy bullcrap vid. This makes me not want to go see it even more.

  • Sorry for commenting so much, but something just hit me like a cannonball. Just *WHY* does Hurd want this film so destroyed? Is she against Marvel Comics, or does she just want a PG-13 rating?

    I can see a whole Paul W.S. Anderson/Alien vs. Predator thing happening here, she wants it to be less violent for a wider croud. May God have mercy on us all for this woman's crimes.

    We can say 'conflict of interest', but I think it's just 'cause she's a bitter old bitch.

  • Oh and one more thing: The 2004 movie had like 17 minutes cut and some violence, and I sense that was Hurd's work too. Oh and I can see what looks like a mental hospital in there, too.

    But on a gun nut note: We see Castle using his M4 Carbine with a Suppressor, yet everyone knows he's there. That's more than just a little stupid. And damn them all for using an M4, silly Hollywood only wants to use automatic arms, not 3-round burst like with an M16.

    Oh, and is he meant to be a vietnam vet?

  • ONe last thing alot of these rumors are old and most have been proven un true. This movie does have a hard R rating it's official.

    As for the supressor come on he had to sneak into the mansion didn't he and that means silence. The suppressor also helps when shooting in a confined area.

  • "ONe last thing alot of these rumors are old and most have been proven un true. This movie does have a hard R rating it's official."

    Most of these "rumors" came not only from numerous reports surfacing on the internet, but sources directly involved with production as well.

    Lexi Alexander did have her involvement with post-production dimished to some compacity, but her major role has SINCE been restored.

  • I never said it'd be PG. I was just being silly.

  • Everything in this video was very well researched before it was reported and this video makes no mention of the short lived PG-13 rumor.

    This was created before that rumor was even 'out.'

  • I haven't read about the Hard R rating, but THAT I'd believe.

    And the Suppressor? He should've just used a pistol to sneak in. It only helps velocity-wise, and that isn't a good thing having an M4. You've already lost velocity, now it's being worsened. And it diminishes accuracy, something NOT good in confined areas.

  • Alot of these Marine Recon & special forces guys use this exact weapon for that exact situation (exept they're not fighting mobsters. Sometime you need more fire power than a pistol as well as a suppressor and if your covers blown you don't have to switch weapons.

  • Well, they are issued .45 Heckler & Koch Mark 23s, which comes with a Suppressor and laser sighting.

    And I'm not saying Frank's a Force Recon. But front line Marines are issued M16A4s, I believe. And they execept a suppressor, right? Cover's blown? Yeah, that's why backup's for. Not comic book guys.

    I'm just saying, they shouldn't use a suppressor, just because it'd be handy. And Frank carries an M16A2/M203 in the comics.

  • Frank is Force Recon and they use M4s but it dosen't matter anyway because he's on his own.

    my point is it is very effective weapon in that the lack of weight allows him to not only use necessary add ons but to carry extra ammunition and other weapons. The noise of rounds going off in close quarters combat can be jarring.

    Just check this out on youtube

    (Future Weapons HD - Barrett M468)

  • I'm not saying anything against you, but where is it stated he's a Force Recon? I'd like to know.

    I suppose it comes down to me, I'm a big guy and an M16 feels light to me, and ammunition isn't that much weight to me. And my hearing's been dulled out over a time, so I guess my retorts are from my biased beliefs.

    I understand what you mean by the M4, though. But I still think it's Hollywood wanting to preserve the image of an automatic weapon.

  • It's stated in alot of different punisher comics but off the top of my head you can find it in (Punisher Valley Forge, Punisher Born,The Tiger and a few older comics I can't think of off the top of my head.

  • Okay, thanks. I haven't read a huge amount of comics, so excuse me not knowing. But that still rises my question, what's he supposed to be in this movie? 'Nam? Gulf War?

  • That I don't Know. I don't think it will be NAM but he is a Marine in this.

  • Then I'd say Gulf War. With Ray Stevenson's age and all.

  • I haven't read about the Hard R rating, but THAT I'd believe.

    And the Suppressor? He should've just used a pistol to sneak in. It only helps velocity-wise, and that isn't a good thing having an M4. You've already lost velocity, now it's being worsened. And it diminishes accuracy, something NOT good in confined areas.

  • Call me what you want, but I think this'll be a bad movie. And I like the Thomas Jane movie.

    I'm only speculating, so I could be wrong.

    Basically, all we've seen is jumping-the-shark violence, a Jigsaw who looks like Liberace with food on his face, and a lack of story.

    I could be wrong. But it seems, even if there is a story, all they're doing is selling off blood and gore. It looks far too much like the MAX comics, in my opinion. Show some origiality.

    Say what you want, I just did.

  • The reason it look so much like the MAX comic is becauase that's what they're basing this movie on. It's an extremely violent yet very well written series.

    I do expect this to have a good stoy though, of course they are gonna show the most violent seens in the trailer. It's hard to show the story in a 1 minute trailer.

  • No it's not hard. They did it with The Dark Knight.

    I just think basing your work soley on the MAX comics just shows a lack of dedication to making a movie, and not just a live-action comic book.

    I don't expect it to have much of a story. They're only showing off random clips and dialouge. That's my biased opinion, but if they had anything else, they would have showed it.

    Oh, and I don't think the MAX comics are that violent. But that's just my thought.

  • The Dark Knight trailer was pretty much random clips of violence to and so is pretty much every comic book or action movie. That's what trailers are about it's hard to show some emotional scene in only a minute.

    From what I hear this will have a good and dark story as well as action. Because that's what fans of the MAX punisher expect.

    And I don't know what MAX comics your thinking of because they are very violent.

  • Like I said to someone else, The Dark Knight showed that the Joker was making Hell, and that Batman would have to change his ways to beat him.

    I don't hear much, but from what I see, I don't see much story. That's my problem. I'm not saying it's not got action. But some of the action looks bad. I'm a fan of the Punisher, but I don't expect much.

    I guess it may be violent to some, but not me. It's my opinion. But then again, I'm a Tarantino fan. Not my type of violence.

  • The Dark Knight trailer, I mean.

  • "I don't see much story."

    Waging his one-man war on the world of organized crime, ruthless vigilante anti-hero Frank Castle sets his sights on over eager 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 more of his evil deeds go unpunished.

  • Sounds like a simple run down of the comics since 1976.

  • And that's just from Wikipedia, etc.

  • God knows we wouldn't want a comic book movie synopsis to reflect the history of the comic books.

  • Well, in my opinion, it does.

  • i hope anne hurd gets hit by a fuckin bus I am not joking she butt fucks our damn movie's, what a bitch

  • fuck if they were gonna do a punisher movie will they at least do it right? man FUCK hollywood how many times would they try to screw punisher? wtf 102 mins of violence to 82fuck that I hope they make that 82 mins worth it

  • I marked my own post as spam. Apoligies, i was being bitched at by my ex. And i hadnt noticed just how much of a fuck up that creature is, the one on the movie, i know my ex. Anyway. It better not suck, cause i dont want to have to get my full body kelvar and pay her a visit.....

  • You all do know this is just the first set of trailers right? As in thats probably all the action and gory death there is going to be in the entire movie. Most of the movie is actual story line. Most people thought the verison with Thomas Jane was going to suck, because they liked the one with Dolph Lungren in it. So, either give it a fair chance, or dont speak like you have.

  • The one with Thomas Jane did suck.

  • I agree with you 100%

  • They were both extremely mediocore and performed well below their potential. The Punisher's potential on film has now finally been realized with PWZ.

    PUNISHER: WAR ZONE will succeed, leaving haters and retards like you in the dust.

  • The problem with the 2004 punisher is that it wasn't the punisher not even close.

    He's a marine nam vet not an FBI agent.

    He's born and raised in NY not Florida.

    His family is killed in Central Park not run over by a truck in some stupid family reunion bullshit.

    He actually kills criminals he dosen't waste his time moving fire hydrants and taking pictures of gay criminals etc, etc.

  • I'm not defending either movie, but the Thomas Jane movie did barely have a budget, supposedly they would've needed about $64 million alone for the stunts, origainally.

    So it all comes down to money. No money=not as good as is could be.

  • It's not the budget that's the problem. It's that it wasn't about the punisher. If he wanted to change so much about this character why did he make a punisher movie to begin with. He should've just made his own character.

    The 89 punisher had an even lower bugdet. It wasn't the greatest movie but at least it followed the tone of the character although his origin was a little off.

  • Good point. But who do you mean by "he?" Jonathan Hesleigh?

    But you do have to admit, budget plays a part in were you can film, and how.

  • By he I do mean Hesleigh, if he was gonna change so much about the punisher he might as well have made his own character without slapping the name punisher on it.

    Yes budget plays a big part but the 1989 version of the punisher had a smaller budget but had more action and was more true to the punisher.

  • Interest in the Punisher as a comic book character is why PWZ is being made. Not the 2004 movie. If Punisher '04 had been nearly as popular across the board as you suggest it was, we'd be talking about Punisher 3 by now.

    You're also wrong about most audiences liking Punisher 2004 and disliking RAMBO. It was the other way around. Check professional and fan reviews.

    You are entitled to all of the misguided opinions you want. Just know that you're wrong.
