I have a theory that despite what fans say they want, when a character is presented pretty much as they are in the comics, the less the audience seems to appreciate it, and weirdly likewise the fans. Adjustments have to be made, and I'm pretty cool with that normally. <br /><br />But the Punisher is a character made for the movies and all three Punisher movies are decidedly different. War Zone is still my favorite, just saw it again a few weeks ago. Stevenson just looks the part, perhaps the most accurate portrayal of a comic character to screen ever since Robin Williams played Popeye. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-54889354804051190932015-04-29T03:48:37.155-04:002015-04-29T03:48:37.155-04:00See I knew I'd forget someone.

It was the perfect role for him. Overall they do a decent job with his cameos, though they can be intrusive weirdly short as they are. <br /><br />Bruce Campbell is a favorite and he's always playing the same guy regardless of what the name is, a wry smart ass. He's so good at it. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-1430348999896601622015-04-29T03:45:30.876-04:002015-04-29T03:45:30.876-04:00Stevenson is the kind of actor who can steal a sce...Stevenson is the kind of actor who can steal a scene just by sitting in the background. Eastwood famously could do that too. I seek out new Stevenson stuff now, so I'll have to give Rome a check. <br /><br />Rip OffRip Jaggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936426877024852134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8220285230636101823.post-57196645100386166962015-04-28T11:50:48.561-04:002015-04-28T11:50:48.561-04:00Agreed on Punisher: War Zone, a wildly misundersto...Agreed on Punisher: War Zone, a wildly misunderstood movie, in my opinion.
