Crime

When the lives of innocent victims are on the line, does the ends justify the means?
For Frank Castle it does.
Frank Castle also knows as The Punisher is a fictitious character from the Marvel Comic books.
After the local mafia lord commanded the kill of all is family, and he supposed to be dead, he raised from the ashes as The Punisher.
Because the impotence of the police against the “big fishes”, he decided to start making justice by is on hand in a one man war against organised crime.
But after all, who is innocent and who isn’t?
Every one has a family. And every one wants to protect them. To give them peace and everything they need. For this some do thing that they know that are wrong.
They are just victims of society. Society and greed, as we all are.
Wrong and right it all depends on your point of view.
There is a saying “Remember for them we are the enemy”
Violence leads to violence, but love can also leads into violence.

king arthur

This is a movie that pretends to take the King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table from the legend format to make the possible true story based in real facts.
Despite that, for a movie that claims to be based in a historical research, it has some (huge) historical blunders.
The movie starts with the Roman Empire withdraw from Britain, which had occurred in 407 AD
Artorius Castus was a real roman officer who really did command the Sarmatian Foederati at Hadrian’s Wall. However, he died around 200 AD.
Furthermore, Cedric, the Saxon Warlord who fought against the Britons with his son Cynric, had done that in the early’s 500.
Now, if you can forget the historical blunders, you have a nice medieval movie, with a nice medieval war, filled with arrows, small trebuchets, swords, axes and a love story.
Nothing new from Hollywood land.
But, if you like movies past in ancient times, with bloody battles and love story’s… This is a nice movie to see in a Saturday afternoon.
My score is 6/10
