[Movie] "You'll Be Like Oh Shit Thats The Jam!" - Best Movies You've Seen In 2008

The Punisher - Not to scoff at the previous film, but Punisher: War Zone attempts to offer a more accurate rendition of the Punisher character. A man who's about murdering the fuck out of criminals and asking questions later. The film draws a lot of its inspiration from the Punisher MAX comics written by Garth Ennis, and sets up for future sequels by establishing characters who were involved in different arcs of the comics. Specifically a Russian mobster who links to the "Slavers" arc. The illusion here is that if you're a fan of the Punisher comics, you're gonna like this movie.

Wrong.

You're gonna like this movie because it's the follow up to Rambo at the beginning of this year. This is the goddamn movie you were waiting for. Punisher: War Zone doesn't attempt to hide what it is, a comic movie straight out of 1995 but with extra violence and the merciless killing of any race. Black, white, asian, spanish... no one is safe. Is there a child in the room? Sorry, you still die as the Punisher holds the kid in his arms and blows off your head with a combat shotgun held in one hand.

The follow up to Batman Forever that you never received is here, except this time we're punching androgynous men through the face with the kind of results you'd expect from punching androgynous men through the face. Quite possibly the greatest comic book movie ever and the greatest movie of the year and in our lifetime.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
