Batman series>>>>>> everything marvel did

Um... excuse me. Blade 3?
--- End quote ---
Sorry, watched Blade 3 two days ago for the first time. It's average at best.
--- End quote ---
It's horrible at best. I was making a joke. DC was making better films than Marvel starting in the late 70s when they made Superman. And as much as I hate the Burton stuff it's still better than the early 90s Marvel films like Punisher and Captain A.
But I will say this; as far as making a comic book on the screen, rather than making a film with comic book characters; Punisher Warzone>>>>>>>>>Dark Knight and Begins combined.

Alright, I was a little worried. Didn't want to bash your opinion but, like you said, it was indeed horrible. :D I wanted to watch Warzone yesterday but went for another movie. Do you know if it's anything like the comic Punisher: Warzone storywise?
--- End quote ---
Nah, it's more based on the MAX series/Ennis stuff. The plot actually feels a bit like the Batman 89 story. What I love about it is it is just unabashed Punisher. No commentary on the world or shit like that. Just Frank Castle killing motherfuckers. And it feels like you're watching the comic book.

Yeah. I thought it was interesting that they introduced the movie under the "Marvel Knights" banner, seemingly to distinguish it right from the beginning from the Thomas Jane Punisher movie that they put out before.
There were things I really liked about that last Punisher movie and things I didn't like. What I did like was the Punisher himself. To me Ray Stevenson was the perfect Punisher. I thought many of the kills were pretty awesome as well. The overall movie seemed very uneven though, and I thought the villains were too over the top.
The word at San Diego Comic Con this year was that the rights to the Punisher movies have gone back to Marvel and that Marvel Studios is planning on releasing the next Punisher movie. I think that is probably a good sign.

Over the top villains is Punisher. That's what I mean about watching the comic on screen. They could have made a better film, but not filmed a better comic book.

You might be right. I used to read "Punisher," "Punisher: War Journal," and "Punisher: Warzone" in the 90's and I remember liking them, for the most part. But it's been just about that long since I've read "Punisher" or even re-read any of those old issues. So as far as it being a really close adaptation of the comic, maybe it was. I'm probably not the best person to judge that. During the movie I kept thinking though that I liked the actor who played the Jigsaw character more before he became Jigsaw. And Jigsaw was even a character that I remembered liking in the comics. It just seemed like everything with the villains, from that point in the movie, was a little over the top. I have to say though, for whatever personal gripes I had with the movie, I still enjoyed it. The Punisher I thought was way closer to the comic book version. The kills were much bloodier and way cooler. And I thought Wayne Knight was a pretty inspired choice for Microchip, a character that the Thomas Jane movie left out completely.
Shallow:
My complaint would have come if the characters weren't over the top. It wasn't a perfect Punisher story. I think the same establishment of the Punisher character could have been done with Kingpin as the main villain and Luke Cage as the hired gun trying to take out castle before they realize they are on the same side. But whatever.
