[Mister Sinister]

Oh, thank God!

 

[Microchip]

PG-13?!?!

Haha that would suck. Great, there's our R-Rated Punisher. And I do so love the pervasive strong brutal violence, it's heads and shoulders above the normal brand of violence.

I wonder what they did to Max Payne to get it it's PG-13. I thought it had been given an 'R'.

 

[Yerzrinot]

Hopefully they'll also release an unrated version on DVD/blu-ray.

 

[KT7777]

This is great new!

 

[Balthus Dire]

Hell yeah!

 

[Kable24]

Great, there's our R-Rated Punisher. And I do so love the pervasive strong brutal violence, it's heads and shoulders above the normal brand of violence.

The 2004 movie was also Rated R for pervasive brutal violence. So take that description with a grain of salt because the only pervasive violent stuff I thought would qualify is Glass torturing Spacker Dave.

 

[Microchip]

We already saw some pervasive strong brutal violence in the trailer though, so we KNOW it exists here. And I thought that the Russian met a somewhat brutal end, what with dying in a pool of blood.

 

[NinjaTurtleFan]

Good news! Too bad "MAX PAYNE" got watered down. It was based off of a Mature-rated game. How could you **** that up?

 

[screams]

I'm not at all surprised. It's definitely an R movie.

 

[claydogg]

cool!

It was originally R-rated but John Moore wanted to aim it at the same audience as The Dark Knight, but it wasn't that heavily edited apparently.

 

[Microchip]

The Dark Knight's audience was everybody, it's the second highest grossing movie ever. Max Payne ain't putting up those numbers. In fact, I don't know WHO Max Payne's audience is. People who play the game and teenage boys I guess. That's probably why they needed PG13.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Awesome!

 

[ElToro]

Alright!!!
i cant wait for this movie to be on the big screen

 

[Punisher 04]

No surprise, so much for insiders and haters

People went and saw Shooter and that was R.

I can't wait til December 5th 2008, when Lexi Alexander's...Punisher War Zone...Punishes the rest of the box office competition into submission, and emerges from this War Zone...#1 with a bullet.

 

[goh78]

Ehhhh. The rating won't save this one I fear. I hope I'm wrong though.

 

[Microchip]

People went and saw Shooter and that was R.

Shooter isn't a video game movie though. That carries a sort of stigma, generated by the fact that most video game movies aren't that good.

Punisher on the other hand is a Superhero movie (even if it is based on a guy with no real superpowers) and that certainly doesn't hurt these days.

Now that is being optimistic there. The only way it punishes the competition is if it's the only movie opening that weekend and it's not the only movie that weekend...

December 5
- Cadillac Records
- Extreme Movie
- Frost/Nixon (limited; expands: Dec. 12; expands: Dec. 25)
- Nobel Son (limited)
- Punisher: War Zone
- Timecrimes (Los Cronocrímenes) (NY)
- Tokyo! (limited)

I'm agreeing with Micro on this one.I don't see anything competing with PWZ,the only I see is **** films nobody is going to see LOL!

I know right

 

[Microchip]

Actually, those Scary Movie knockoffs, which I'm assuming 'Extreme Movie' will be, have a way of attracting just enough stupid people to screw with the B.O. Hopefully even the morons will have learned their lesson by now and avoid it.

I just searched for info on this "Extreme Movie". It has NOTHING to do with those stupid spinoffs, but I still won't see it.
