The Punisher (2004)
By far the best Punisher movie yet.
I give a lot of credit to this flick. The Punisher has got to be one of the harder comic book stories to translate to the big screen format.
Its world is very modern-day/non-superhero, but has this outlandish, slightly(?) psycho character living and starring in it. In any other Hollywood flick, this character would be the bad guy! (..and a quality one!) In this movie, we like him. (Look at the last Punisher movie to see how easy it is to go wrong with this formula.) The 2004 Punisher is a good quality action flick...no doubt.
Go see it.
As a footnote, I felt Marvel/the producers/whoever treated this movie the same way The Hulk felt to me... It wasn't a pure action flick, but liberally dosed with character-building. While this (IMHO) caused both films to drag a bit in a few places, it should make the sequels that much more enjoyable. (Here's to hoping!)

Le chaînon manquant (1980)
Great music, great satire, kewl animation!
The soundtrack contains a few tracks from Leo Sayer and singles from the likes of Genesis and REO Speedwagon. The characters are amazing: Stewey Babcock (the first Man), Bone his buddy (a dinosaur) and Slick (a pterodactyl?) are the main characters. They have some amazing adventures, great comedy, satire as well as social commentary.
I didn't recognize many names in the credits, but the voice work was outstanding as well.
If anyone knows where a copy of this can be had, please email me as soon as possible!
I've been looking for a good copy of this for the last 10 years or so - no luck to date.
(Orig: 8-20-2001 Updated:1/26/08) I've almost been looking for 20 years now! Wow!
This review and most of the others as of this date refer to the English release titled "B.C. Rock", not the original French(?) version which now appears to be for sale on DVD and to which my original movie submission and review have been subsequently merged.
Based on reviews, the soundtrack and dialog are all different. I'd look for the English title of "B.C. Rock." Outside of the animation itself, it is not clear from the reviews that the original movie is related to "B.C. Rock" at all.
