Just thought I would post my thoughts on the other violent movie
opening up this weekend. God this movie was awesome. I'm not really
into comics, just the movies, but this movie had a lot more going for
it than what I expected. They really did a good job showing how dark
Frank Castle's life had become after his family was murdered.
I would have LIKED a LITTLE more violence, but it was still pretty
violent. The R rating is well deserved. Knives through mouths...arrows
through necks...close range
shooting...nudity....profanity...haha...just like the 80's movies like
Cobra and Terminator. The humor was subtle, but well timed...and a lot
of it was the crowd laughing at how violent something was.
The only thing I didn't really care for was the score, but that was no
biggie. It was good to see a super hero movie where the hero was human
- no powers, and quite capable of getting hurt.
The lead did an awesome job as The Punisher, which I didn't expect. I
thought from the previews he was a pretty boy, but the dude buffed up
nice for the role. His acting kinda sucked, lol....but it fit, and I
just over looked it. Maybe it was the script. He did a good job
though.
On my personal scale, I would give it a 4.5 out of 5 stars. It was
right behind Xmen and Spiderman, maybe better depending on how dark
you like your movies. The Punisher definitely isn't for everyone. The
previews with the cheesy numetal music definitely did disservice to
the flick...they made it seem light in a way. I'm probably biased
because I do like the dark side of things, and comic book movies, so
maybe drop the scale to 3 3 stars for an average person.
Check it out if you think it looks remotely cool from the previews.

Although, to quote The Tick, "Guns and superheroes DON'T MIX."
