Summary: Cheap
Comment: I ordered this movie because I wanted it in HD. I have the regular DVD and I watch it more than all my other DVDs. I got it cheap and very quick.
Me happy, me likey.

Customer Rating:

Summary: A worthy edition
Comment: I thought that this movie was pretty good already, but the addition of the extended scenes and the whole missing storyline was well worth the buy. The animated beginning should have never been cut from the theatrical version. This movie and the director's cut of the Abyss are two that give you the whole story. 5 stars.

Customer Rating:

Summary: I liked it
Comment: The Punisher has been in the Marvel comics world since 1974.

He's probably changed a bit during that time. I hadn't followed him much, partly because I stopped reading comics in 1983.

I liked the movie. The character and story were believable. And John Travolta played an excellent villain.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Overly harsh punishment
Comment: A sleazy showcase of sadism, slapstick and sentimentality, this version of The Punisher is only marginally better than forgettable Dolph Lundgren version. Good performances from Rebecca Romijin, Ben Foster and John Travolta, and a cameo by Roy Scheider, don't quite make up for the way the film turns slaughter into a joke by veering drunkenly from the subfusc to the ridiculous.

Reviews I've read suggest that the directors' cut manages to explain away most of the plot holes, but I feel no urge at all to see it: I'm not sure what comics readers did to deserve this, but whatever it was, we've been punished enough already.

Editorial Reviews:
Lionsgate The Punisher (Blu-ray) The Punisher walks through the world we all know, a world darkened by war, crime, cruelty and injustice. He has no superpowers to battle the evil he sees - only his fierce intelligence, his years of combat experience and, above all, his iron determination to avenge those wronged by society's villains.
