| tuh. I didn't really appreciate it as much when it was just out, but I think it's one of those movies that might be better on TV than in the theater.
First, it's a good late night HBO kind of movie that you'd see is on and just leave it on while you fuckin get drunk as shit. I remember when Jso and I originally saw this movie in the theater(!!!!!) we thought it was alright WE GUESSED also lighting in the exterior shots NO WAIT, we just thought it was alright. Months later we were like, HEY LET'S WATCH THAT MOVIE AGAIN, and the appeal grows on you because it's like a totally trashy actioner with fuckin people getting blasted in the face by shotguns and fuckin people getting shot and Frank Castle fixing his broken nose by shoving a pencil up there and relocating it himself. Parkour fags jumping around like fags for like no reason at all, when suddenly one of them gets blasted into salsa by a grenade launcher, then the last one of them gets thrown onto an iron spike fence and just as he's gurgling to death Frank jumps down from like a 5 story building and lands right on the guy's face snapping his neck JUST ON THE WAY DOWN before landing on the ground, and then sniffing like psh who cares (instant verdict positive for that alone). Plus McNutty is in it from The Wire. Also some great cheesy one liners, the kind that Caruso would say if CSI Miami were even remotely self aware. A friendly dude is left for dead with a note stabbed into his chest, Theo van Gogh style, taunting the Punisher about how WE HAVE THE KID COME TO BLOO BLEE ETC, and the guy is dying and he's like NOT LIKE THIS MAN, so Frank takes out a giant fuckin revolver and points it at the guy's head, and his last words are SEE YOU IN HELL FRANK, and then Frank says If I see you anywhere near hell, I'll kick your ass out 8( blam. Also at the end when Punisher kills McNulty, he throws him into a bonfire and as McNulty is burning to death and his face is burning off and melting and shit, Frank says "this is just the beginning. 8(" As in he's going to hell, not like this is some reboot where he is only beginning his war on crime. Oh yeah and in an obligatory "meeting in church" scene, Frank says "SOMETIMES I'D LIKE TO GET MY HANDS ON GOD." Verdict positive, show it to your mom. |
