[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1485056, member: 151"] Actually, what I was looking for was: "[i]Latino Review is a Web Site dedicated to bringing Reviews of the latest American Movies to the English speaking Latin-American audience. Our reviewers are young Latinos based in Los Angeles and New York, and offer a fresh perspective of movies from the nations fastest growing Markets.[/i]" I wasn't being snarky or questioning their credentials...I just wanted to know who they were. The name didn't say 'movie review site' to me, so I was curious. I agree, they're just as qualified as Harry Knowles and his gang of malcontents. More so, probably, since they aren't hard-core movie geeks, and have a more mainstream perspective. That's not what I was saying, however poorly I expressed it. The reviewer implied (or maybe I inferred) that the fan community in general agreed that the Punisher was the worst comic adaption ever done, bar none, and had been expressing that for years. Maybe I've missed it, but that's just plain wrong. I have no doubt that some people think it is that...but my experience has been that other films, B&R in particular are commonly referred to as the worst comc adaption ever, and are far more likely to have been referred to in comics, websites, conventions and everywhere I've been in the last ten years. The first Punisher movie didn't even make the radar, by comparison. I know, and they should be thankful, at least in the case of the JLA pilot. The FF movie actually isn't the worst job ever done, but it [i]was[/i] bad...just not legendarily bad, IMHO...I liked the way they did the Thing, for example, and some characterizations weren't bad...but overall it was Corman cheez. And the Punisher was released in Germany too, iirc. But no US release means that lots of fans today may not even realize it ever existed, until the new film brought it back into the collective consciousness. Which, for the record, makes me feel really [b]OLD[/b]. :) [/QUOTE]
