One Of Marvel’s Lowest-Budget Movies Somehow Flopped At The Box Office

It was in December 2008, and the Marvel Cinematic scientist was just a flash in the eye of Disney. John Favrio’s “Iron Man” was a great success at the time of that year, and after her passage of the brain-where Nick Viory (Samuel L. Jackson) lured Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Son) to join the signs-the appetite of the supernatural masses everywhere. Disney will continue to buy Marvel in 2009 and put this Avengers hints to work, as he has a long period of very super hemvishing in theaters.

Before this happens, many superhero films are still being striking and missing, eventually empty MCU. “X-Men” was higher than quality, for example, Marvel’s characters such as Dardevil and Elektra were admitted appropriately by fans. More importantly, not all of these films have nine numbers budgets. Many studios, with the realization that the superheroes were money makers, were not always ready to invest piles of money in them. This will not happen until the “The Avengers” of Widin in 2012.

In 2004, Jonathan Hennsley, with Thomas Jin, has starred, bitter, bitter, vitality, Frank Kaslan, Frank Castle. However, the film was not successful, with $ 54.5 million at the global box office for a budget of $ 33 million. Ultimately, December 2008 witnessed the release of the Lexi Alexander’s Pseudo-Remaked “Punisher: War Zone”, a movie that was keen to increase the movie Action of Hensleight. The late Ray Stevenson took over the role of Frank Castle in the “War Zone”, which proved to be a comics bloody and has a pleasant horror blood film that was more than Sam Raimi than many of the extraordinary fare in Sam Raimi.

It also floats. “Punisher: War Zone”, eventually, eventually brought $ 10.2 million at the box office for a budget of $ 35 million (which was a decrease in the Aquarius for super films, even at that time) and critics rejected it. Nowadays, though, the film is loved by some people for humor and ridiculous levels of violence.

“Punisher: War Zone” was actually the adaptation of the third movie of Marvel “Punisher” Comics, where the first Mark Goldblatt was “The Punisher” (which was starred by Dolph Lundgren in the role of Frank Qalaa). It seems that studios could not get the luxury character substantial right. However, Alexander seemed to have settled on the right approach by making the movie “Punished” even more than the source material. To clarify, Punisher Frank Castle was born, a man who eventually loses his family to shoot gangs. (Who, exactly, loses and how he depends on the re -narration in question. He does not have great powers, so it makes the guns his favorite weapon and continues to take revenge on the underworld.

“Punisher: War Zone” covers the conflict between Frank and gangs called “The Beauty” (Dominic West). Early in the movie, the punishable throws Rosi in a glass crushing machine, cut his face and leave him deformed. He survived, sewing his face, changing his title into a panorama, and divided the opposite reference. The film also starred in Dash Mihok as a policeman in New York, Julie Benz as a widow, and Doug Hutchson as a cookie.

As we mentioned, the film bombed and bombed it strongly. It opened to $ 4.3 million on the first weekend of the box office, which is bad even compared to the reputable Marvel film tanks in the era of “Elektra”. Although there is a modest budget, “Punisher: War Zone” was unable to raise itself in public awareness. Perhaps the general public did not care simply with punishment.

Critics, as we mentioned earlier, did not care about “Punisher: War Zone”. The film is currently characterized by only 29 % approval of spoiled tomatoes based on 112 reviews. The review in the Guardian described it as “without a spirit and disgusting.” Ao Scott, in his review of the New York Times, said that “it was an air without air, very stupid, publicly professional for the audience to be wandered.” (It takes a lot of insult to the Schlocky Action Lovers. It seems that many of them were not along the B-Movie wave long.

However, the film attracted its share of defenders over the years. It was shown in an episode of “How Dis Get Made”, and its hosts, Paul Sher and June Diane Raphael, they all loved. Patton Ozwal joined them in her praise, while even Alexander appeared to explain why she made the movie the way she did. She did not apologize, and she should not have. They all cited the release of the film’s winter holiday season as a possible reason for its failure. Many discovered “Punisher: War Zone” in the decisive years, and they loved their excesses and Gore; It is rare for this studio to be this Goopy. These days, many superhero fans of Marvel are eager for this player; They have since become a very and safe way from the audience for their interest.

Alexander, unfortunately, was thrown into the cinema prison after the “war zone” stopped. I have only made two films since 2025: the direct Christian film to the “Raise” and the science fiction film “Absolute Dominion”. The last film was produced with a limited budget, but its imposition – all religions fights in a blood heroism on the ground – are wild. Time will come, though, when a bold, strange, strange movie is discovered, such as “Punisher: War Zone”. We just have to wait.
