This third entry into the Punisher movies is a Winner! For all those who are familiar with the Punisher AKA Frank Castle you will not be dissapointed - NON STOP ACTION TO THE HILT!
Great metal soundtrack as well.
I saw the film at my local movie movie theatre when it opened, and I will be the first one at your store to buy it when it comes out on DVD shortly. Cannot wait!
Welcome back Frank!
What's great about it: Frank Castle - The Terminator Reborn
What's not so great: Would like to have had more Character Development

If you like the Punisher comics, especially the Garth Ennis era stuff this is for you. I have never seen any comic movie capture the books so well as this movie. It used so many characters from the books. The film absolutely respects the books. I like that. My biggest complaint about the Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings movies were the aberrations from the central themes of the Tolkien's original work. The Dark Knight trilogy are better films than this one, I admit, but the changes those movies made from the comics was not fundamentally/thematically different. This movie is the quintessential Punisher. This movie doesn't seem to assume you don't know about the Marvel characters involved, but you don't need to have read dozens of issues of The Punisher to get it either. Not for the squeamish. Don't let the kids watch this. It presents head-on the Punisher's fight fire with fire-power ideal. If you like the Punisher books see it. If not you might like it as an action movie.

Marvel has done quite a few versions of Punisher for movies, TV, and cartoons... but THIS is the first one that REALLY NAILED THE CHARACTER!!! Ok yeah, I LOVED the cable series - except at the season end... he LET himself get beaten to a pulp just to get some bad guys arrested. THAT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE IF HOW PUNISHER OPERATES AND WHAT HE REPRESENTS!!! So the series was GOOD, but tripped over it's own feet at the end smh. But THIS MOVIE - YEAH, NOW (THIS) IS THE PUNISHER!! I'd actually seen it many years ago at the theater and remember liking it - that's what made me buy it. But watching it again TODAY - AT HOME - IN 4K - WITH A LAP FULLA PIZZA!! :-P WAYYYY BETTER THAN I REMEMBER IT!! If you like Punisher, THIS is the one to get!! :-)

As good as the Thomas Jane version was, this should have been the blueprint for the Punisher films. The Netflix version was great also, but came much later. 4K is very good, audio is really good!

I've never seen such a perfect embodiment of the Frank Castle in my life.This was the Punisher movie that true fans were waiting for.This is sure to be a cult classic for years to come.I recommended this movie to a few of my coworkers and it absolutley blew there minds.Ray Stevens presents and good acting was just beyond perfect for this role,this man IS the Punisher.I've been a comicbook fan for years and I'm so glad that they finally gotten it right this time.Sure some people make comparisons to the first two Punisher films but the reason for this is that alot of them know nothing about the Punisher.The plot might have been a little then, but don't watch this movie expecting another Dark Knight.Frank Castle is a vigilante killing machine with no light at the end of his tunnel that blow deserving criminals to smithereens.
What's great about it: This is the real Punisher
What's not so great: It should have been a little longer

It's a flat interpretation of the Frank Castle mythos. No real intensity, just pointless violence. The first movie was much better with both the anti-hero & villain having more gravitas
