A very excellent movie, it's the 1980s Scwharzenegger (TM) movie reborn
again in all it's gory glory complete with cheesy one-liners.

It's been a while since there was a movie like this, and several scenes in the
movie actually had me wincing, unlike Kill Bill Vol 1, which was sort of comic
booksy.

From Rotten Tomatoes.com:

"For those who can stomach two hours of brain-dead brutality, the film has more laughs than most comedies."

"A ridiculously violent revenge story with no redeeming value."



And best of all it only cost $33m to make, so either way it's going to
at least make a profit somehow, no CGI, no bullet time, no nothing
essentially, but lots of 1980s violence

Good, I need something to get rid of the bad taste that Kill Bill 2 left. I must be one of the few people who thought KB2 sucked ass. I wanted to see people get killed, but there were not enough deaths & blood and that left me feeling unsatisfied and pissed.

Brain-dead brutality? Ridiculously violent revenge? I like the sound of that. Got a rough idea of the bodycount in the movie?

at least 100~

Alright, that's it! I'm taking my GF to see Punisher tomorrow. She missed out on Kill Bill 1 so I'm making her watch a nice guy movie with lots of blood & violence.

Mind you, that was an estimate it may be as low as 50 people. I really
wasn't keeping track of the bodycount though

That good, eh?

I'll have to remember that one: "It was so good, I couldn't keep track of the bodycount!!"

Lot's of Ennisque Humor. The Russian is awesome.

Cool...will probably go see it tomorrow with some buds to see another action flick for no reason then to see death.

Not Russians. The Russian.

The Russian made the film


Loved when castle *Blank* to the russian in the fight.

On the whole I liked it. I thought the build-up at the beginning was a little long and the background music score was as store-bought as they come but the action and the laughs were great. The fight with the Russian made the movie.

Damn skippy. Saw it Friday night in my dress whites (a bunch of us left our dining in after it was done to go see it).

Man, that Russian fight was just so wrong it shouldn't have been funny. Yet it was. Extremely. I tell ya, if it weren't for the neighbors, it would've lost half it's comedic value IMO.

Oh, and GO TAMPA!

The movie was so good that I forgot what happened in Kill Bill Vol. 2, not that I remembered in the first place. Blood, violence, killings, and sick humor, the popsicle scene was too funny! And the Russian was just comedy gold!

They didn't happen to use the version of The Russian from the most recent punisher comics, did they? with the big boobs due to his genetic re-animation?

The Punisher was AWESOME!!! I loved it. I never really got into the comic, but this movie was bad ass.
