---|---|---|---|---|
"It's a prevailing sense of humor that makes this an entertaining, if silly, film adaptation of the Marvel comic." | ||||
"Among the recent spate of comic-book movies, from 'Spider-Man' to the 'X-Men,' The Punisher is unique." | ||||
"It features an insane amount of violence and a number of visual references to the comic, but it lacks the original's humor and spirit" | ||||
"The movie is as grim and grave as the comic book. But it lacks atmosphere" | ||||
"Trashy and disturbingly violent yet fairly zippy and amusingly cast (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)" | ||||
"This comic-book-based revenge story is undermined by its inconsistent tone" | ||||
"Punishes the audience with a flat starring performance; Mr. Jane finds few sparks of life in a hero who wasn't all that lively to begin with." | ||||
"That rare comic book movie that actually feels like a comic book" |
