I have netflix so I watched because it didn't really cost anything and I always watch comic movies, atleast ones with characters I care about, no matter how bad a rep they have. It's really an alright movie. Definitely much more true to the material than Thomas Jane's and that was pretty good too I thought.
I agree with you guys. "Punisher: War Zone" was a great film. It stayed more true to the Punisher comics than any other Punisher adaptation so far, the actor who plays Frank Castle perfectly fits the character (in both personality and appearance), it had great and gory action scenes, good dark comedy, Jigsaw was great, and a storyline that did justice to the Punisher character. Overall, I think most Punisher fans (I am a huge fan of the character) would have been happy with the film. "Punisher: War Zone" gave Punisher fans exactly what they asked for in a live-action Punisher film. And I would have loved to see a sequel.
I think the reason why people hate it so much is because they were expecting to see The Dark Knight 2. Has anyone noticed how every single comic book film that came after The Dark Knight has failed to reach over 80% on Rotten Tomatoes and comic book forums? Even Iron Man 2 and Kick-Ass only received about 75%. People have been comparing every single comic book movie to The Dark Knight ever since it came out. Just because a comic book film wasn't as good as The Dark Knight doesn't mean they turned out dissapointing.
