Punisher Properly Gets Rated "R"

Despite the rumor that Punisher: War Zone would be going the family-friendly PG-13 route, the MPAA has properly given it an "R" rating for pervasive strong brutal violence, language and some drug use.

hmmm, still love Thomas Jane's version, was a decent film and was hoping for a sequel, not so sure if i can take to a new actor/direction so soon, only just coped after Hulk this summer! And I loved Ang Lee's version too so that was another toughy to watch.

It would be a joke if this film did NOT have an "R" rating. I mean, this is the freakin' Punisher, not Spider-Man or some other kid-friendly hero!

Thomas Jane was good as Frank Castle, but he just didn't dig down deep enough to bring out that inner psycho that the Punisher has to be to kill people.
