Third time's the charm. The movie opens up showing you what kind of movie and what kind of Punisher you're getting with a bit of hyper-realism and massive violence throughout. To me, this is the Punisher I remember from the comics. There's really little need to go over his "hey, that sounds like Batman" origin like the previous movie glorified and extended to a giant, drawn-out family barbecue rather than the tight-nit family picnic shown only at a glance in this one. Frank Castle, a.k.a. The Punisher, says little, letting his actions, a.k.a. bullets, speak for him. Another step up from the last try: NO **** ROMANTIC INTEREST. I cannot stress enough how I do not connect the Punisher with a girlfriend character of any kind like the last one kind of tried. He's Marvel's Batman with no rules and that means he fights without distractions. Overall, its gory, bloody, awesome and everything I want from a Punisher movie despite the overly comical villains.

This is a very gory, dark and sometimes confusing movie. Still, the hero's relentless quest for justice against the evil Jigsaw is compelling. There are a few scenes where the blood is a little too much even for this genre, and it almost crosses...

This is a very gory, dark and sometimes confusing movie. Still, the hero's relentless quest for justice against the evil Jigsaw is compelling. There are a few scenes where the blood is a little too much even for this genre, and it almost crosses the line into a horror movie. (Okay, we get it. James is really crazy. Do we have to see it in almost every scene?) You have to leave your sense of reality behind, because it's obvious that in life as we know it, the police and armed forces would not be so minimally attentive to the case. If you don't mind, however, it becomes a battle on the scale of the Greek myths. In the dark world of this movie, even if the Punisher wins, it's not as if he's brought happiness into his life. There's only the kind of peace you have when there's no one left to fight.

With non-stop gore, violance and morbid humor its a great way to shut off your ticker and watch the s**t go down.
