Check out the intense Punisher: Warzone trailer from Comic Con 08 courtesy of IGN.com.

If the movie is as good as it looks, this could be THE Punisher movie and we are all in for one hell of a ride. We’re talking about total GBH (Grievous Bodily Harm) in this movie. The first movie with Thomas Jane was pretty good but it didn’t quite capture the raw gritty darkness of the Punisher character. I am not faulting the man’s portrayal, in fact he plays a very believable Frank Castle.

However, I felt that the script had too much “emotional elements” taking way too much screen time showing the anguish Frank Castle is going through rather than the violence that is The Punisher. Warzone, could be closer to the comic than an examination into the psychological ramifications of the Punisher slant towards crime from the first movie. In fact, I felt that the first was more of an “origins” movie. This one had better have the raw action and the hardware. And from what I have seen of Ray Stevenson’s performance in the trailer I don’t think it will disappoint.

Just please, don’t let it suck.
