Punisher: War Zone Blu-ray Review

[admin]

The Punisher has been played by three actors now: First Dolph Lundgren in the campy 80s Punisher movie. Then Thomas Jane gave us a brooding Punisher in 2004. It’s my opinion that the best Punisher was saved ‘til last. Ray Stevenson is a Punisher like no other – and Lexi Alexander gives us the look and feel that is just right for the material. The 2008 film didn’t exactly set records at the box-office, but nobody expected it to. But like the 2004 film, this version might just find its true following on home video. You won’t find a better representation of this gritty, violent action thriller than this two-disc set on Blu-ray.

I loved Ray in this film, but little else. He made a great Punisher, but I felt the previous Punisher was much better in general. Still though, worth a watch.

Lots of use of the surrounds in this movie, but I didn't really care for it all that much, but I have seen worse films.

I LOVED the "Punisher" with Travolta and Thomas Jane. I own my own copy and have probably watched it 7+ times.


I hated the newest incarnation........I didn't even watch the finish. I probably watched about 1/2 to 2/3 and couldn't tolerate any more. I'm an easy critic too!! I rarely don't make it to the end of a movie.

I thought it was worth watching, netflix sent me my copy and I saw it Friday night. Good use of surrounds and strong LFE throughout the movie. I still think the 2004 version might be better. Did anyone else notice that the audio track seemed louder then most blu-rays? I had my receiver turned up about 75% of my normal movie watching level for this disk.
