Don't care for either Daredevil or the Punisher, honestly. Seeing
them in a "Marvel Knights" sort of movie holds no real interest for
me. I would watch a movie with either of them in it but I wouldn't
pay money to see them in the theater at this point in my life.
I gave up on War Zone about 45 minutes into it. It was trying much to
hard to be over the top and came across as artificial and not
authentic. Compare this with a film like Death Wish 3, which is over
the top in it's ridiculous gun play and violence but doesn't come off
as smirking because it is incredibly serious the entire way through.
Even when the film turns into Charles Bronson and the Chief of Police
walking the street shooting thugs like killers in the Old West.
I like the original Daredevil but again, I am not a fan so I am less
hypercritical of it than others may be prone to be (not referring to
anyone here, but rather hardcore DD fanboys on various comic
boards).
If Marvel wants to make a Marvel Knights movie I would still much
rather see Power Man & Iron Fist. Makes a perfect trilogy of films as
well. Luke Cage, Power Man, followed by Iron Fist, followed by Heroes
For Hire.
