Punisher - War Zone : OMG what a movie... Not for the squeamish!

Advantages: Lots of guns, explosions, blood, bad guys dying!
Disadvantages: Unless you 'go with the flow' it might not be your thing

...this... I saw the first Punisher movie with Dolph Ludgren back in the 1980's, the next just a few years ago.... not a bad movie but lacked the Punisher's coldness, then came this movie! Wow, anyone who knows the character of the Punisher or has read the graphic novels will know that the Punisher is mean... real mean, but only to the bad guys! The reason this movie got a hard time at the box office is because people failed to see that it's a 'comic ...
...gore and violence is extreme, the characters are big and hammy, but thats the charm. If you want a seruious action flick then go and see the Bourne movies, if you want some fun and OTT action then this is for you. Look out for the DVD which will be out in June packed with special features ...

Review of Punisher - War Zone

One for the Fans

Advantages: It's aware of its own silliness.
Disadvantages: Wooden acting, dire scripting and very little story.

Ruthless vigilante Frank Castle, also known as The Punisher, sets his sights on an out-of-control mob boss called Billy Russoti. When “Beautiful Bill” is left disfigured by Castle, he is hell-bent on revenge in his new guise; Jigsaw. But in his attempts to bring a mob gang to justice, Castle inadvertently kills an innocent man. Wracked with guilt, he tries to help the dead man’s family, but brings them to the attention of Russoti and his thugs. Castle ...
...to have any chance of survival. But with the “Punisher Task Force” on his tail and the FBI unable to help him, he has to go it alone… I laughed my way right through the Thomas Jane “Punisher” movie a few years ago, not because it was intentionally funny but because it was a ridiculous action movie that took itself way too seriously. So when my other half dragged me to this latest stab at a franchise I was expecting more of the same. So I was pleasantly ...

Chelio’s tears through the town in search for the Chinese criminal who has possession of his heart. Amy Smart, Dwight Yoakham, and Efren Ramirez revisit their roles from the original film. ***OVERALL OPINION*** I think Jason Statham is a fantastic actor anyway and I have to say that I loved this film. It was full of action and also has some funny ...

Review of Crank (DVD)

The fast was fast and the furious were furious

Advantages: Effects, Performance
Disadvantages: Ending

Overall the movie turned out not to be as boring as I thought it would be. When I heard about it I thought "great another movie about fast racing cars". After wathching it, my opinion changed. The actors/actresses performances were very well done. The effects made you hold your breath untill the sence was over and want to know what happens next. Being that I watched it after the fourth one was already out It was perfect Knowing ther was more to come. ...
...see this back round info.The reason it was good instead of excellent was because of the ending, which was really cool but could have been better. Unfortunetley, withut spoiling the movie there is only so much I can tell you. Thankyou for reading and I hope It was Excellent. ...
