I love the Punisher let me just say that. However the actors that were selected to play in this movie are so terrible. Punisher himself could have been played by literally anyone else. And those cheap fake 'Italian' accents in the beginning of the movie bother the s**t out of me because they are so bad.

It's really rather bad. The Punisher 1989 was a B-Movie that pulled it off. The Punisher 2004 was a high budget movie that came close. The Punisher: War Zone is just awful.I credit the villains. Jigsaw and Loony Bin dominate the movie, they are the real stars and they are little more than cartoon villains in a bloody action movie. They are caricatures that would fit in better with the world of Dick Tracy than with the world of the Punisher.The sad part is the Villains make the movie, Peter Pan would be nothing without Captain hook. Heroes need something ominous and threatening to pit themselves against. The worse the villain the better the hero.The Punisher is up against two cartoon characters. Tom and Jerry on steroids.It kills the entire film. It makes it unwatchable. Over the top but not in a good Heath Ledger the Joker sort of way. No, they were over the top in a makes you want to walk out of a movie sort of way.It's just bad, comically bad and not in the good Evil Dead way.Stay away, stay far away.

I didn't expect Shakespearean quality in this picture. I knew I was watching someones interpretation of a comic book story. I get the lack of common sense and I try not to invoke too much plausibility because a story cannot be without some characters poor choices.For about the first half hour, I thought the movie flowed well and the cinematography was perfect. However, as it played on, the film devolved to the point of a third-rate feature at some long-forgotten drive-in of my youth. You know, the kind you didn't mind taking a break from in order to visit the snack shack.This film has its fans of course and I can understand the appeal. But I grew tired of gore after enduring much of it during the 80's because it just doesn't carry any shock value, nor does it tell us anything we can't already imagine.While Ray Stevenson depicts Frank Castle much better that Thomas Jane or Dolph Lundgren, and his interaction with the daughter of the FBI agent he killed is bittersweet, there wasn't much else to the entire production to elicit more than a rating of 2.I believe that the film was lost behind the scenes after I read the trivia section. There were the usual machinations that occur on every film production, but unfortunately for "Punisher: War Zone" they were insurmountable and it shows.

Guys,in my opinion,that is the best movie ever done about the punisher. The people complaint about "way too much violence" and "strong language" but they don't see that this is the essence of the character.We all know that the bests histories of the punisher is that ones when he kills,torture and brutalized everyone. The director and the writer did a rare and exclusive thing:They bring all the violence and the good points of the comics to the movie.The actor Ray Stevenson(different of the 2004 actor's)Really looks like frank castle;Dominic West did a great job Whit Jigsaw,as Doug Hutchson did with "Loony Bin Jin" Resuming,i think that this is the best movie,because it really bring the comics universe to the movies.
