Really? ‘The Punisher’ Movie Review Review
I learn something new every day. Two days ago I found out that tetanus shots expire after ten years and this past week I found out that there are a whole lot of you out there who liked the Punisher movie (the 2004 version). We received some interesting responses to a very brief comment I made at the beginning of my Ed Norton/Hulk story. Some of you were particularly hostile, which I appreciate. I had to see if maybe I'd been wrong and the Punishermovie didn't indeed "suck" as I put it. So I did the grown-up thing and I actually re-watched The Punisher. And you know what? It doesn't suck ... it blows. It's terrible. Everything I hated about it the first time was just as bad, and a few things were worse on second viewing.
Why do I dislike it so much? Well let's look back to what I wrote in a 2004 review since it pretty much still stands as accurate. In this review I actually promise to never speak of this movie again, but my vow of silence has been broken. Then you can get to posting about how crap my taste in movies is. Enjoy.
I've got a bone to pick with the Punisher movie.If you don't want to read any "spoilers" or whatever, I suggest you come back later because I'm about to let loose.
