Which do you prefer?
war zone is objectively one of the worst movies I have ever seen. The other one at least tries to be a real movie, has some good scenes too, I like it.

The one that had him torturing a guy with a Popsicle.
>>77658575
Which is something that was pulled directly from Dixon's Punisher run.
War Zone had him drop from the ceiling and spin around shooting people so that one
Anyone who says War Zone needs to read Punisher comics.
The director herself hated comics and the crew had to beg her to put the skull on the suit. When everyone hated the movie and point out how bad it was she tried to pull the "it was supposed to be bad, it's parody" card
The Punisher was GOAT. War Zone was pretty meh

Which one was the one where he kills a cop, and in the end it's just "Well you killed a bunch of bad guys so all is forgiven"?
Because that was bullshit

I always love when people use arguments like this. It's not even problems with things that happen in the movie, it's things that ALMOST happened but didn't. Because it can't just be critical of the content, you have to find behind-the-scenes bullshit too.
Also the movie was obviously intentionally campy. Frank blows a parkour guy up in midair with a rocket launcher, and punches a guy so hard in the face it expodes.
I like them both.
The Thomas Jane one has some good scenes, but it really undermines who the Punisher really is. I still wouldn't mind him as the Punisher tho.

The last two

the Dolph Lundgren one

Well what it shows is the director thought she was above making a superhero movie. You hear stories like this a lot where they want to distance themselves from the source material and "create" or whatever. If you want to create, then make up your own fucking character and don't shit on something with decades of story and dedicated fans, especially if you're going to act high and mighty and look down on it.
Punisher was the better film
War Zone was the better flick

Oh god you fucking babies I can't eve- do you understand that it's not the job of a filmmaker to be a fan of the source material? It's their job to make a good movie, that's it. Being accurate to the source material has never been an obligation or a necessity since the dawn of fucking film.
Bryan Singer not caring about the X-Men comics didn't stop those movies being good.

I like Tom Jane's Punisher. Plus he is sort of sanitized enough to fit in the MCU.
That being said I had fun with War Zone, and Jessica Jones showed us that we can have a dark Marvel series.
So basically I just want Tom Jane to get to do a brutal Netflix series. Preferably one that borrows from Punisher Max.
Plus they could leave that Punisher movie intact and include it as an MCU movie since it doesn't really conflict with anything. And get them to say the Laundry Day fan movie is now part of it as well.
So Frank is just ambling around, and it would make some sense that he gets fed up with the state of things and the heros ignoring the really brutal day to day gang crime in favor of going after powered villains etc.
Or that DD just isn't doing enough to save the city. Whatever.

such edgy opinion
War Zone but the director is grating on twitter.
>>77658532
This one.
>>77659081
I vaguely remember the producers mandating the parkour and the director throwing that in to make fun of it; not sure on the source though.
>>77659657
No, the director's friends all told her to never ever put parkour in because it was so played-out and everyone hates it at this point.
So she decided to put it in her own way, as a joke.
I have to admit, I really like War Zone. It's a very fun movie. I think that had it been an original IP it may have been better received. But then it would've bombed twice as hard.
Still, I love it anyway. It has a dark atmosphere, but it doesn't take itself very seriously. It's actually pretty funny at times. And the action scenes are great.
It's not a great comic movie, but as a Darkman-esque homage to the vigilante genre it's not half bad.
