Good Movie

Jequinox from , 3rd March, 2009

I did enjoy the movie, but was disapointed with the fact that they didn't use Thomas Jane as Frank Castle, although I must admit Ray Stevenson did play the part well. Look forward to seeing this again without any distractions and hope to see more in the future.

gratuatus displays of serious concerns??

ferdyjenny from , 24th June, 2009

the film ok better than the fisrt one, but the levels of visual violence are way over the top faIR enough the film is a 'comic book' as as with sci fi the censors are a bit easy,, but this is too far i think,,,way too far,, If you like seeing heads blown of with shotguns at close range good for you,,but me in certain circumstances a slight glimples and suggestions are far more impacting,, some comedy moments, some not ment to be, decent acting and action, but,,,,, 3 stars reduced to 2 for the display of unessecarys....

Oh God, now I've got no brain...

A Customer from Beckenham, 15th April, 2009

Because it's been sucked out by this p.o.s movie. Terrible cast (though Ray Stevenson's alright as Frank), appalling script, rubbish story, and the WORST 'bad guys' of any movie I care to recall (and yes, that includes Schwarzenegger's Mr. Freeze) - 'He's on a constant meth high!' A constant dick-head high more like. It's only saving grace is the gore, of which there is lots. It made me laugh.

Action-Packed!

Jordan from , 20th February, 2010

I would like to highlight two main actors in this movie...Dominic West (Jigsaw), and his insane brother (I forgot his name unfortunately). These two evil characters were incredible! They could not have played their parts any better, and I'm very surprised why the hell we don't see such actors in other main movies! In fact, it is worth watching the movie just to see how well these two perform. The movie overall is action packed, filled in with a great storyline, amazing scenes and a constant motion from start to finish that kept me entertained. If you are desiring an action movie, I definitely recommend this one. Instant 5 stars from me, making this one of the movies I would like to actually own on DVD.

Painful to watch

MsLilly from , 17th February, 2010

Ultraviolent, which I don't mind but it was just pure ham, nothing like the previous Punisher with JT, this was a shame as I was looking forward to it. Lucky I didn't see it in the cinema as that 10.00 would have hurt!!!

Punisher War Zone

cableguykev from , 8th February, 2010

At last a Punisher film which actually follows the comic book gene. Ray Stevenson actually looks like the comic book version, and the people complaining of the violence? This is the Punisher he kills violent criminals, so what do they expect, try reading the comics before reviewing the film, yes It is a action film with a lot of mind blowing violence, it is not meant to be serious, if you love the comics go for it, you won't be dissapointed, if you want a thought provoking film why pick this?
