Eric G Good action and funny lines, but very little character development at all. The plot is also strange and leaves you rooting for the mobsters to get their kids back more than you care about Frank Castle being the one to save them. The cops are very cliche all the way till the end when he's screaming for Frank on the roof. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/07/24 Full Review Vitoria F It looks like a 007 movie starring Stallone. Great action movie from the 80s, totally of its time. I loved the plot and the cast. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/24 Full Review Ross F Saw this movie when I was a kid, watched it recently and thought it was still an enjoyable action film. Think Dolph Lundgren was good in this film. It's a short entertaining action film. The plots simple, and though it doesn't have any recognised 'Punisher' villains, I don't see why it gets all the negativity. An easy watching, 80's action film, that isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. Worth a watch Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/09/24 Full Review matthias s As a comic book nerd, I had high hopes for "The Punisher," especially with Dolph Lundgren perfectly cast as Frank Castle. However, this over-the-top 80's action flick falls short as a comic adaptation. While Lundgren embodies the brooding vigilante, the film strays far from the source material, which is disappointing. Lady Tanaka is a fearless and worthy villain, yet she’s not from the comics, adding to the sense of betrayal for fans like me. The movie offers mindless action, but the lack of comic accuracy and a paper-thin plot make it less satisfying. Frank Castle’s traumatic backstory deserved more weight than the few flashbacks we got. If you’re into typical 80's action, you might enjoy this, but if you’re looking for a true comic book film, prepare to be let down. Following the comics more closely could’ve made this film really good. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/24 Full Review Sebastian L I wish I liked this at least in a comically entertaining way, but unfortunately it's an ill concieved, poorly structured yawn of a movie. Lundgren tries so hard to be a tough guy but it's just weird. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/23 Full Review Hernando U Despite best score for 2004 version, I think the Dolph Lundgren's Punisher is dark and action packed movie, also villains are great. I love this version. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review Read all reviews
