The Punisher

Films

• The Punisher (1989)
  • Dolph Lundgren is the first to grab his arsenal and hit the streets to avenge all crime, ever, in this goofy action film that actually kind of works.
• The Punisher (2004)
  • An origin story meant to launch a franchise, this Thomas Jane-starrer didn't know how to make its main character into a hero and struggled to find any meaning at all.
• Punisher: War Zone
  • With its cartoony violence and glorification of vigilantism, this film feels like everything that's wrong with this "hero".
• Avengers Confidential: Black Widow & Punisher
  • When Punisher stumbles into a SHIELD operation he's forced to work with Black Widow to stop an evil plot by LEVIATHAN... or go to jail.
