      Punisher

      I have to say that Marvel movies have made rapid progress in recent years, and it is very embarrassing to look back at the previous ones. The plot of Uncle Punishment is really simple and rude. Wife and children were killed ➡️Find the villain➡️Murder for revenge. There is no suspense and no creativity, but it was very eye-catching more than ten years ago. Deadpool or Daredevil. Frank Castle is the embodiment of justice. He not only avenged his wife and children, but also helped his neighbors...

      On true justice

      Justice, in today's society, especially in China. We are basically numb to this term, because the places where justice was once upheld are now the graves where justice is most trampled. Punisher uses his own power to maintain the justice in his heart, why? Is he breaking the law? May I ask you what is the point of the law when there is nothing left in your world? The law has limitations. As long as there is sufficient wisdom, the law is just a piece of paper, but justice is a word elevated to...

      The film is ok, very entertaining~ Don't ask too much~

      It's just a bit of a hodgepodge of plots, nothing special, and the transition is not very natural. As for the rigorous plot, superb director, etc., don't ask too much~ It's easy to take a moment and that's it . The

      pass the boring time

      The defining characteristic of a bad movie is that you don't even have to watch it to know what's going to happen next. This is what this film is like, a super cop played by a muscular man, a super mentally retarded boss who looks cool, and waves of life and death PK. If it counts, what kind of person is always killed by the super police? go up and die. Maybe this comic is still pretty good, and there is a chance to look it up, but the movie doesn't matter, it can't keep up with the second-rate...

      You deserve to die if you are guilty

      In order to complete the movie of all the members of the Avengers organization, continue to watch this Avengers surprisingly meets my appetite. The protagonist is Thomas Jane, the villain who played the late-birth muscular uncle, has Travolta backed by Travolta, and there are some gay details in it, that skinny uncle. When I was abused, I was really surprised and happy. The director is really good at choosing the actor Thomas. The deep eyes explain the character of the punisher very well. For a...

    About character and style

    Thomas Jane’s excellent performance in "Professional Baseball Duo" left a deep impression on Hanslin. Hanslin believed that Jane’s performance was born out of nature and didn’t require any effort at all, even when it was quiet. He can still express a lot of emotion.
