It is hard to rate a movie like this. I did not even know there had been previous Punisher movies.
I was told it was horrible before I went to see it with a movie buddy.
There was only 1 other couple in the theater.
We all laughed the entire time.
It was so gratuitously violent that it was surreal. It caused it to cease being horrifying about 10 seconds into the first bloodbath. There were many bloodbaths.
** Spoiler Alert? ** The scenes that weren't violent seemed to be about character development, but they even had a surreal quality. A hard-nosed FBI agent, who admits to being an ex-coke junkie, the hero trying to get the heroine (?) to kill him ... they seemed like they were supposed to have a purpose, but they failed so badly they were hysterically funny. I think one of the characters forgot his lines at one point and they just left it in.
I plan to buy it on DVD. The only way it could be funnier to to release an Elvira, Mistress of the Dark edition!
