Just perfect...
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
This movie was definitely worth my time. Even though I saw this movie before Iron Man rise of technavore this movie was actually better and had more of an interesting story line. As I have stated in my previous review I was never really an anime fan when I watched this but I still enjoyed it.I am actually glad that Black Widows voice was changed even though it was weird that Black Widow was in a relationship with Elias Starr (Egghead in the comics) and he was a shield scientist in the movie.The best scene was where a dog was licking Punisher and the final battle. Especially the scene when Hulk says "HULK HATE GRAVITON!"This movie is good for a teenager or an adult but not for children because Punisher dose a few mature things in the movie.
I'm probably not the best suited person to analyze this movie as I am not the most knowledgeable of neither anime nor comic books. I like anime, and enjoy comic book films and television series, but I'm not a hardcore fan. Comic book fans go into movies already knowing the characters for the most part, whereas for me it's like I'm introduced to each character for the first time. In a way that makes me more objective as I don't know what characters are supposed to be like, and simply watch the movie for what it is. At any rate, I watched this movie and here are my thoughts.I know anime fans have a debate on "dub" vs "sub"—that is whether they prefer anime movies dubbed into English or with English subtitles. While I normally prefer subtitles to maintain the authenticity of the work, in this movie's case, it is more like this is the English version of the movie than simply a dubbing.As indicated by the title, this movie focuses on the character The Punisher. Even having seen "The Punisher" (2004), my memory of this guy is vague. He is a vigilante character, who is neither good nor bad, who does whatever it takes to protect the innocent regardless of whether his actions are with in the laws or not. He is arrested by the international organization S.H.I.E.L.D. and they plea bargain with him. An evil crime organization, Leviathan, has stolen weapons and plans to auction them off. The Punisher is sent on a mission with Black Widow to stop the sale of these weapons.While the artwork was vivid, the animation was minimal—I suppose to keep the feel of reading a comic book. There was not a whole lot of movement in the animation, even in action sequences, and still shots of characters' faces or long pans of people or scenery was common.Overall, the film is formulaic of any episode of a super hero animated television series. The bad guys have an evil scheme and the good guys have to stop it. That's not a bad thing, it's just what it is, and I happened to like that.
this masterpiece is a bitingly satirical take on the superhero anime adaptationism.it does a hilariously great job emulating the distinct flaws that the genre is known for; from the lack of emotion and movement in the characters' faces, to the unnecessary, egregious and distracting 3d animation, to the pointless romantic interest turned villain plot line which no one who watches these films cares about.i especially liked the out of nowhere appearances from the hulk, iron man, thor the god guy and that annoying nerd kid, it made my inner fanboy write fanfiction with delight.i respect the representation of homosexuals in the form of the punisher who wore eyeshadow and black lipstick a lot in the moviealso it sucked 10/10
I was writing better stories and dialogue while playing with my He-Man action figures back in the eighties. The storyline is childish and there are dozens of mistakes in terms of logic. The "Everything's wrong with..." team on Youtube would have a field day with this. To list just a few: How the hell the Punisher calmly walked out of that exploded warehouse, completely unaffected by the flames? Cane told The Punisher where the base was and they were not expecting them? Why the soldiers detecting Punisher at the base do not signal an alarm? Punisher kills three SHIELD agents, got locked up in a cell, Fury says he will stay there and you know what? To hell with all that, Natasha will just let him out, take him to the hangar and fix him a transport.What does the so-called super soldiers are good for anyway? We saw one tearing up the streets in the news and that was it. In Madripoor, they all stood there and stared at the heroes while being shot and punched.Elihas has super strength. He can punch through concrete. There is no way the Black Widow can trade so many punches and kicks with someone at that power level.Punisher kills the big bad boss with a knife. Really? The would-be conqueror of the world can be stabbed to death with an ordinary life. I am not convinced that neither the foot soldiers nor the leader of the Levithian was much of a threat for the world. I can go on about the stupid things regarding this movie but I have already wasted enough of my life for it.Avoid at all costs. Break up with your lover if he or she insists to watch this.
