2 questions. Please answer.

[webhead731]

Yeah, I've seen it twice and thought it was good.

But anyway,

1. Someone told me they thought it was corny. Do you think so? I don't see anything corny in it.

2. How did he make the fire skull at the end?

 

[zer00]

1: it wasn't

2: Magic from the voodoo guy who brought him back to health earlier.

 

[webhead731]

Voodoo guy?

 

[wiegeabo]

1. It was a good flick.

2. He set the cars off in a particular pattern to create the skull when seen from above.

 

[webhead731]

Okay, but fire is fire. How does he know where it's going to move at and how it will make a skull? Wouldn't have taken a long time?

Who will see it from above?

 

[wiegeabo]

What we saw were the cars just after exploding. The fire hadn't yet had time to spread.

 

[webhead731]

No but the fire doesn't just stay still, it's not frozen. It's always moving around.

It would take forever to make sure those cars are in the right place and everything.

1. It wasn't corny at all. There were some comic relief characters (one of which turned out to have a very dramatic and serious role), but other than that, I don't see anything corny about it. Now, do I see a lot of worthless fanboys trying desperately to find things to complain about in a generally good film (I happen to think its great, but I can see how some intelligent people may think it's merely "ok") in order to claim it to be a terrible movie? Why yes, yes I do.

2. The burning car skull thing was a little much. I'll be the first to admit that. It was apparently made by setting up explosive charges in specific cars which would explode at Frank's remote command. At least they took a semi-realistic route and made the skull imperfect as to imply that some charges malfunctioned, etc.

I'm not trying to make the film sound bad. I really liked it. Someone told me that and I'm wondering what you guys thought.

No, I know. That fanboys remark was not at all directed towards you.

 

[webhead731]

Oh, okay.

it's a movie

 

[webhead731]

I know but I'm just wondering.

 

[Kable24]

I loved it. It's my favorite Marvel movie to date. As for it being corny, I think the flaming skull was a bit much, but I still like it. Probably the corn iest thing in the whole movie is the line when Tom Jane goes, "Gods going to sit this one out." Even the director thinks it was a little corny. Other than that the movie keeps me interested and entertained all the way through.

 

[Joker]

Gods gonna sit this one out was a great line

 

[zer00]

I carved it onto the side my my house.

 

[ShaneHelms]

There was originally supposed to be a helicopter with Federal Agents tracking Frank, That the flaming skull was made for them to see. All this is explained in the novel, anybody know if it exists in the script?

 

[Mr.E.Nygma]

Sorry for the interruption shall we say but the fire skull was perhaps so well formed because of a gas line. Though it would realistically take him enormous time and precision, it's something possible in this movie. At least Frank doesn't fly or throw lasers with his eyes...

This was a pop-up suggestion, don't forget about shenhelms121's question as well concerning the script

 

[The Geek Vault]

I liked the movie. I thought it was really good. Some parts were unrealistic. The part where punisher fights the russian and splashes him with hot water or whatever it was, I don't think that would kill someone. I would think that 1) the punisher would get hurt more and 2) I think that there should have been allot more scenes with the police and FBI confronting Punisher.

 

[zer00]

the water obviously didn't kill him. The fall broke his neck. It was clearly shown.

The Flaming Skull was a homage to Ghost Rider...j/k

Its all about cinematic finality. That is Punisher putting his message in blood to all of his enemies---> Fear my symbol. That is what I got out of it at least.

It was definitely an artistic end to the punishment he dished out to that mafia family.

On the unrealstic factor these parts really could have been better thought out:

If Punisher was shot in the abdomen and blown out into sea, how the hell did he survive the blast and being thrown into sea? Miracle I guess.

2nd, if he has been out of commission for months recovering from the gunshot wounds, how the hell did he retain his six pack and muscles even though he was walking with a cane?

Ah well some things are best left untold.

 

[Colossus24]

Cause he's just that much of a badass, thats how. jk

The flaming skull is just sort of the thing to do with anti-heroes in movies. It started with the Crow, and was also used in Daredevil (I know a lot of people on this board don't like Daredevil, but remember, in the movie he let that criminal he couldn't prosecute get cut in half by a bus before he left the flaming DD)

Regarding your qustions, it's just part of movie magic. Had it been realistic, John Saint would've shot Castle in the head, and then there'd be no movie.

 

[zer00]

Actually the people who hate DD on this board are in the minority

atleast when it comes to the DC
