I watched War Zone last night after only seeing about half of it when it was released. I really, really liked this version. I'm not a fan of the way Jigsaw was played out as a cartoonish cliche, but overall was a strong and violent film. I have no idea what any critics or anyone here said about this, but this worked for me. The gore and blood was done perfectly and, sickening as it is to say, was pretty funny. IN one film you have two guys with heads that completely explode and one where his faces is literally caved in with a fist. How can that not win an award?
NOw, compared to the previous film with Thomas Jane, it's about a tie. I enjoyed that one as well. Again, the villain was pretty weak as Travolta was a pale satire of himself in the role, but the whole thing just worked. Again, the violence was played up for a little humor, it had to be.
All I remember about Dolph's verison was he drove a motorcycle through the sewers and sneered.
THe first one excluded, the Punisher just works on film. I've enjoyed these more that most superhero movies of the last decade, and this is coming from a non-Punisher fan. I literally do not own a single Frank Castle book. I can't think of too many other characters that could make the transition form page to film. Blade is pretty close. I'd like to see them take a stab at Moon Knight and have him against werewolves.
