Punisher: War Zone (2008)
Punisher finally done right
I have never heard a viable argument that this movie wasn't good, I just saw this movie and i got to say, it didn't disappoint me one bit, Ray Stevenson was the perfect cast for the punisher, sure this movie isn't as good as Iron man, the dark knight, the incredible hulk. but by the ranks of the other superhero movies like Daredevil, this one was astounding, it had the perfect balance that is a Punisher comic. it presented the past of castle great, i mean, after seeing the 04' version, we all needed a true interpretation of the Castle back story. and the movie was just done great.
any words that i can write here fails to comment how awesome this movie was for me, as a punisher fan, this was a dream come true. Lexi Alexander, I love you<3 thank you for realizing, if not everyone, but at least my vision of the punisher as he is supposed to be. Ray Stevenson, you did great, Thomas Jane and Dolph Lungren is way behind the curve..
9.5/10 on a side note, Micro Chip was finally in a movie about the punisher and all i can say is, my hat is off for Wayne Knight
The Condemned (2007)
A Great Movie, Average Remake
As an independent movie, The Condemned kept me interested in the characters, and the actors delivered, especially Mr. Vinnie Jones and former WWE Superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin. Compared to the original Battle Royale, its not as graphic, not as exciting and doesn't catch your soul and shakes it like the Japanese Battle Royale did.
of course the plot have been edited to work for the American audience, seeing that in Battle Royale, the contestants were teenagers, not convicts. I don't think that the US could withstand a Hollywood movie about teenagers going on a killing spree on each other's as the Battle Royale depicts. but the new plot works well, and makes you question how far reality TV is willing to go to entertain.
Compared to other LGF/WWE movies; like The Marine and See No Evil. The Condemned is a genius action movie that work on many levels, at least more than John Cena's boring and totally unrealistic flick.
7/10 and i am being harsh
