Dark and Gritty
Punisher is one of my favorite comic books and I wasBR>really satisfied with the film. I don't get why people think that scull shirt is lame. If people knew what the shirt ment then theyd know. And I'm not going to say what it means. Read the comic and you'll know. The movie starts out well and then towards the middle and the end you just feel bad for poor ol' frank.
This film is pretty violent. This movie is the perfect reason why it has the name Dark and gritty. The way frank lives after his whole family is murderd is just sad. He's an alcoholic who just sits in his apartment but THATS NOT THE WHOLE STORY and I won't spoil it for you either..Acctually this film is
The best part of the film is when Kevin Nash shows up and gives frank a beating he'll never forget.
This is overall a good comic book based film. It's not the best but it's good. Spider Man 2 will be the best. But this is good.BR>I will probably buy it when it comes out on DVD. It stays true to the comic. Well if you've read Garth Ennises Punisher then youde know what I'm talking about.BR>Check this movie out though. It's pretty decent though.
Check it out or buy it when it comes out on DVD or VHS.

100 ETTER THAN DAREDEVIL!
I first saw "The Punisher" on the third day of its release and must say that for a comic-book adaptation, I was quite impressed! Alot of people think that it's a bad idea to make a remake to the 1989 original, but I beg to differ. The new 'Punisher' is more original and clean (easier to follow) and the plot to it is NOT as farfetched as its previous version. The characters are very interesting and easy to get to know once you see them and the action is non-stop edge-of-your-seat thrills and excitement! (I wouldn't be surprised if some of the scenes used in the film were inspired by some of that in the comics!) The storyline is also nicely told, and compared to the 80s one, there are absolutely NO plot holes! Thomas Jane plays the anti-hero (the title character), Frank Castle while John Travolta plays a spectacular performance as the diabolical madman, Howard Saint, a crime boss who dispatches his men to kill off Castle's family. After this horrible tragedy, Castle is left for dead, but survives a near death and decides to track down and kill (or PUNISH) the ones responsible! With an amazing assortment of weapons and slick skills, Castle battles an angry mob of crimminals, including Heck, a sharp-shooting guitarist, a bone-crushing Russian, and finally, Howard Saint and his son in a daring finale climatic showdown which ends with a BANG! (Not to mention a BOOM!)
OVERALL: This is THE #1 comic-book live-action movie of all time since the 2002 version of "Spider-Man" and is indeed grand golden entertainment for ANY action fan! One of my favorite movies of the year and it should be yours too! ^_^ See it today and get ready for "Spider-Man 2", another Marvel movie coming this May 2004!!!!
Decent But Could've Been Better
This movie seemed like it was rushed. I was also expecting more of a bada$$ heavy then say John Travolta. He has never really played a decent bad guy. Though I must say that the action was decent though not spectacular. I was expecting a more bombastic movie more on the level of Spiderman, which by far has been the best translation of a comic book to big screen. With the Punisher there were too many dry spells in between the action. And why in the world does Frank Castle reveal that he is alive in the middle of the film? Wasn't the whole point of being the Punisher or calling himself the Punisher was declaring that the old man that he was is dead? The plot was a little disjointed but overall a decent movie, I wouldn't say that it was better than Daredevil though.
