  Was looking for an old film to watch the other day as the new stuff is pretty thin on the ground at the moment. Picked out Punisher: War Zone starring Ray Stevenson. Have previously only watched the film the once (at the time of its home release). What an awesome film that was. Simple plot, plenty of gory, o t t action, 18 cert..just how a punisher film should be. Talking about that, i did enjoy both previous punisher movies as well (yes, even the old Dolph Lundgren one). Hs anyone else seen these?  What did you think? Wouild be nice if he was introduced in the new wave of Maarvel films.

  I have not seen this one War games but i have seen the other 2004 film where Thomas Jane played the Punisher and did really enjoy that. This one looks good but i have not got round to watching it yet. I have also seen the short punisher film dirty laundry. It is only 10 mins long but it is really good. I agree that a new film would be good but they confirmed that the punisher is going to be in season 2 of daredevil and will be played by Jon bernthal which i think is a good choice

  I liked the Punisher film released in 2004 (the Tom Jane, Travolta one), always thought it was a shame the sequel never happened, Warzone was originally a sequel to that but it fell apart in post production. Found the Lundgren one to be a bit shit personally and barely made it to the end of Warzone, too over the top and at times just cartoony (considering it's a fairy realistic character).
  
  I'm expecting Jon Bernthal will be a good punisher in Daredevil.

  Sorry, thought this was a thread to discuss Briss' favourite dildo. My bad.

  Oh, out of the 3 mmovies to date, warzone is most definatly the most ott, Jesslloydfan. Too be honest though, i loved it for that. Barely any plot, didnt concern itself too much with acting ability. It was short, sweet and bloody violent..and i loved it all the more for it. I did enjoy the Dolph Lundgren version although its looking a little dated now. If memory serves though that one was an 18 cert and didnt mess about either so fair play too it for that. Same with the Tom Jane take on things. More acting going on but still with a healthy splattering on violence. You watch a Punisher film, your there for the violence after all.

  I gave this a shot but its still terrible. Yes its Punisher so it has lots of exploding heads etc, but past that its had no thought put into it. I couldn't even tell you anything about the plot.
  
  It went for gore and ignored everything else.

  Its simplicity was something i liked about it. Not to sure about Domonic West's jigsaw or his unfeasably tough brother who, by all appearances, should have been taken out easy enough. As far as the gore goes, thisscotsman my friend..the more the merrier lol. a shame that you didnt like it. I have all but given up on Daredevil, Coop. Im guessing that the interpretation of The Punisher who is set to appear in the television series during series 2 will be a watered down version.

  I don't mind gore but when it's thrown in for what is essentially a bit of shick then it's just a waste.
  Like Game of Thrones and all the sex scenes. Yes ok we get it people had sex but throwing into every scene just starts to spoil things where it clearly wasn't required.
  
  I thought Spartacus dealt with the gore thing fairly well.

  I have heard the good press that Spartacus received but regretably its one of those shows that i just kinda let pass me by. What can i say..i love my gore, the more the merrier especially in these kinda films. Tought Game of Thrones swung to far to the other side in the last season, in that unlike previous seasons, there wast enough nudity. Would get a tiny bit old though if it was in every other scene.
