* - What happens when someone takes 2004’s “Punisher” and amplifies all that was vile and horrid about it while simultaneously removing any fleeting glimmer of hope or enjoyment? The answer: 2008’s putrid “Punisher: War Zone”. I consider myself a Marvel Comics fan. Well, okay, I’m not so much a fan of Marvel Comics as I am a fan Marvel Comics characters. More accurately, I like the action figures that are based on Marvel Comics characters. When I think about it, though, they have a lot of quality problems, and some issues with improper size scaling, but they are marginally acceptable, I guess. In any event, I try to support the company that makes these fairly reprehensible figures that I buy in ungodly quantities - despite their numerous faults - by watching the occasionally horrifying and largely mediocre string of ridiculously expensive films based on the same characters. So, by now I have seen a pretty large amount of Marvel Comics-based movies, and this one was by far the worst. I’m not sure what else to say about it other than that it is really bad and opens with a scene in which an elderly wheelchair-bound Italian man with a colostomy bag gets beheaded by the quote-unquote hero. Well done, Marvel.
