Yea so much more that nobody went to see it.
So much more that 4 times the amount of people who saw War Zone went to see the '04 Punisher.
MMMM...But do you see the trailers of War Zone and the '04 movie? The trailer for '04 movie are bettere 1,0000+ than War Zone's trailers! The trailers for War Zone + the stupid release date (Christmas! Christmas? What is the genious who thought Christmas is great for a violent action flick?) make a flop...But i talk to you as a Punisher fan. I've read Year One and Welcome Back, Frank or the War Zone comics and i see the '04 movie with hope. Unfortunately taht movie is a western revenge movie that is no Punisher. If you change the name (no Frank Castle) and the skull with a teddy bear, you have the same movie with a guy called "Teddy Bear" and it works better. Because with the comic isn't so faithful.
- Frank Castle isn't a FBI agent;
- Frank Castle have two children: male and female;
- Frank Castle don't have a father or a mother (they're dead);
- The family massacre is on Central Park not in a f**k Puerto Rico;
- Frank Castle live in dark New York, not sunny Tampa;
- Joan "the mouse" isn't beautiful like Rebecca Romijn;
- The Russian speaks;
- There aren't no one of the main villains;
- Howard Saints isn't the real name of the villain, is Bruno Costa;
- Frank Castle do tactics and other things but in this movie is abused;
- Frank Castle became the Punisher only in the final 10 minutes;
- There not police in the movie (!!!).
But some works well (like Spacker Dave, Mr. Bumpo and some things like the torture) but the comics are better. Welcome Back, Frank it's real good and the '04 movie isn't like that!
War Zone is more faithful to comics and better than the '04 version (that is good, imho).
- Frank Castle is a Marine like the comics;
- The family of Frank Castle: wife, two childrens (male, female) like comics;
- Family massacred in Central Park like the comics;
- Jigsaw is like comics;
- Soap is like comics;
- Budiansky is like comics;
- Microchip works better than comics (!!!);
- There are police;
- The movie is set in a dark New York like comics;
- Frank Castle is the Punisher from the first minute of the movie;
- If you don't know when Soap explain the Punisher's history appear on the wall some name of the family mafia who Punisher has punished. The first family is...Costa like comics.
MMMM...War Zone it's like comics. Even you haters don't recognize him and follow the western version with Jane!
