Punisher: War Zone (salty fanboy tears ITT)

edited December 2008 in Social Entropy++

So, who's going to see this tomorrow?

It's opening the day before my birthday and it's a comic book movie so I'm going to see it.

Reviews so far are mixed. One starts off with saying it's a bad movie, then goes on to talk about how much he liked it for 5 goddamn paragraphs.

Apparently it ignores the first (two?) Punisher films and has his ACTUAL backstory (not the Spiderman Villian one, shut up.), but the one where his family is gunned down by random gang violence. It has supporting characters from the comics that have been ignored up until now.

Supposed to be VERY violent and bloody if nothing else. Apparently there is some very laughable dialogue. Looks very Marvel, I want it to be good. The lead actor is from ROME, apparently he is quite good in that.

    This review says it's the Starship Troopers of comic-book movies

    Newsarama did have a review up of the movie but they took it down for whatever reason. It said that this was the best Punisher film yet, but that that isn't saying much. Pretty much all of the acting is terrible, but if you like violence then it's good.

    I love violence, but not when it's done in a really flashy impractical way that a guy without superpowers shouldn't get away with.

    I vomited at the trailer when he did the shooting in a 180 spin.

    alan rickman is in it

    Sure, go watch a rental movie, in a THEATER WITH BIG SOUND AND BIG IMAGES.

    Sure, do that when you got this epic movie BOOOMING away in the theater next to you. I hope it's so loud you lose immersion in your own gay art film because of the SOUND of the Punisher fucking up dudes next door.

    I probably won't see either at the theater, but I'm pretty sure Nobel Son is a comedy!

    My own opinion, for what it's worth, is that the only movies worth seeing in the theater at full price are anything with GUNS, EXPLOSIONS, SPACE, MONSTERS, EPICNESS etc. Otherwise I watch at a matinee price or rent on video.

    I watch everything at matinee prices with the exception of midnight showings. But fuck if I'm going to watch a shitty b-movie in the theater because it has explosions.

    A lotta people say Transformers is a rental/popcorn sort of flick, but I thought it was one of the coolest things I'd ever seen.

    I guess I'm in the minority on that one?

    I quite enjoyed it and felt it was worth the price of admission. (Like buying a ticket on a rollercoaster)

    Unfortunately I was with a guy that had worshipped Transformers since a child and had to hear about it on the way home.

    Apparently the old comic books and shows were somehow so much better than that movie.

    Also I got goosebumps every time one of those things transformed or did pretty much anything on screen. Forgive me for letting my inner child out.

    I also grew up on Transformers, so I don't think that's really a factor.

    The movie basically disappointed people who wanted it to be more like the original series, which is a really dumb thing to want.
