Eh, never cared for The Punisher in the first place. whats so "superhero" about him anyways?

The Movie looks like a crappy action movie.

so I am guesig the dolph lungren one was better?

I knew it, the guy they picked looked like a fucking wimp compared to the comic character! ARRRGHHH!! My brother loves comics and that's his fave too, and he still thinks the guy looks like a fag! Just watch the one with Dolph Lungren *80s, and get some more unwanted dissappointment.

Play the Genesis video game, now that game had "action".

I haven't seing the movie, but I had the feeling that movie was going to be boring just by watching the trailers lol!

That figures. Something I am looking forward to and it turns out being shitty. That friggin' sux.

I mean... Thomas Jane was alright as the punisher. I wasn't complaining there but he really didn't DO SHIT!

Also, Thats the thing that made the punisher cool. He never really was a "Super Hero". Which made him more badass because its just a GUY with a lot of GUNS seeking revenge for the death of his family. Period.

When the credits came up, me and my friend looked at each other and said "What the fuck?" at the same time. Then we both agreed that we could write a better script than that shit.

And to think... theres some people who actually LIKED IT! In the theater I went to... some were actually applauding at the end. FOR WHAT? The corny lines? Dumb ass characters? The Stupid fight with Kevin Nash as Popeye?

Go See Kill Bill Vol 2. Don't waste your money and time on Punisher.

what would you have done differently if you wrote and directed this movie?

1) Would not have had Comic relief characters.

2) Would made this movie more of an action movie than have Travoltas on going soap opera of pure bullshit. This movie is called The Punisher, Not Howard Saint.

3) Would have Def. had Jane use more of the guns he had. He seriously had a FUCKING ARSENAL of guns. Automatics, Pistols, Nade Launchers... But... Used only one auto and the two pistols.

4) Would have Def. had a DARK THEME for this movie. IE: no corny lines! no Stupid comic Relief actors! DARK DARK DARK! I can not STRESS this enough. The Punisher Story is Dark...WITHOUT ROOM FOR CORNY BULLSHIT.

5) Last... I would DEF. Made sure MY PUNISHER would be 2 hours of Gun use, action, people getting killed... ETC. And I would make sure MY PUNISHER movie didn't have its action START LITERALLY THE LAST 5 MINUTES OF THE MOVIE!

After watching this...It made me want to direct an action movie. I swear to God I would make the coolest fucking movie of The Punisher EVER!

I think it's funny that you insist against all the corny/comic relief stuff as being Punisher-related when in fact Spaker Dave (piercings guy) and Mr. Bumpo (fat guy), as well as the popsicle scene are all taken from the comic itself. In fact, from what I understand, in the comic, Punisher defeated the Russian by smothering him with Mr. Bumpo.

I, on the other hand, saw nothing especially wrong with the movie, though they really messed with Frank's origin for dramatic purposes (ie. making the family die for something deeper than accidentally seeing a mob hit). Some of the kills were especially awesome, such as the "hold the bomb" bit.

Kill Bill Volume 2 was definitely better, but I'd still rank Punisher higher than Hellboy.

Hold the bomb bit?

That was corny!

And the part that followed after it... When Punisher is calling out Howard Saints name. And Saint goes "You killed my son." Then you hear the other son drop the bomb in the building then Punisher goes "Both of them."

TERRIBLE!!! SO CHEESY!!

And the Punisher is a corny character. What, did you expect him to just shoot every single badguy in the movie in a generic fashion? He didn't just kill Howard Saint and his son. He made them both suffer.

1.if everything in this movie was from the novels and comics then u should have went into the movie expecting them,especially mr.bumpo whom i've seen in numerous pics before the movie premiered.

2.why have a movie full of action with a plot so shallow and unfaithful to the novel its based on that the only thing that resembles the story is frank castle(i.e 1980's punisher).also,this movie is all about character development and viewing both sides of the character that is howard saint.

3.this is movie is about frank castle slowly evolving into the punisher.he had all the weapons he needed since he is progressively changing into the vigilante we all know and love.this,imo,is an origin story and what sense does it make for a happy,loving man secretly keeping a warehouse full of guns before knowing that he will be seeking revenge for his family's UNEXPECTED murder.

4.if i see someone in the process of having his facial rings torn out or a family being horribly murdered then i consider that dark.

5.u must've watched a different movie.the action started right when his family died.the russian scene alone would've made the movie worth watching.

The Punisher=Buff Vet, who uses alotta guns'a blazin!
Thomas Jane=Wimp Who should never be cast as The Punisher.

Wimp? In no way. Thomas Jane was jacked.

This movie was terrible. AND NO! The action did not start as soon as his family was murdered. Then when it SHOULD HAVE STARTED! Instead they cut back and forth to stupid dance scenes and other shit no one could care about. Why do you continue to call him Mr. Bumpo? His name was just, Bumpo. He wasn't a super hero or anything. He was just some fat kid who did nothing but eat/dance/and say corny shit. Terrible.

The action was in the last 5 minutes. And that was a bummer.

"she took the train"

B A D L I N E

That line is ok in a comedy but this is fucking PUNISHER. What I know of the Punisher is badass. What is shown in this movie is pure pussyness. The Punisher is a corny Character? What the fuck are you smoking? He's one of Marvels underrated gems. He's my favorite. And they fucked him over. Enough on that. Did I expect him to go around shooting everyone? UHHHHH YEAH!!!! lol. Instead he tortured them with popsicles.

DON'T BACK UP THIS MOVIE. IT DOESN'T DESERVE IT!

It was a good movie IMO, but so generic. You could tell everything that was going to happen. Frankly, as long as there was explosions, gunshots, and car crashes, it was enjoyable.

Favorite Part (SPOILER):
John Travolta: You killed my son.
BOOOOOOOOOOM
Thomas Jane: Both sons.

Why people like Corny lines in movies that are supposed to be serious will ALWAYS be a mystery to me.

"The action did not start as soon as his family was murdered. Then when it SHOULD HAVE STARTED!"

So in other words, car/motorcycle chases and lots of people shooting guns =/= action. Okay. If you say so.

"Why do you continue to call him Mr. Bumpo? His name was just, Bumpo. He wasn't a super hero or anything. He was just some fat kid who did nothing but eat/dance/and say corny shit."

Because that's what he was called in the comics. Though in the comics he was somewhat older and much, much fatter. It's like you're getting angry at the Spider-Man movie for including J. Jonah Jameson.

"The action was in the last 5 minutes. And that was a bummer."

Ignoring, of course, the Castle family massacre, Punisher vs. Harry Heck and Punisher vs. The Russian. But yeah, how dare they take time to explore a character in a movie?

"That line is ok in a comedy but this is fucking PUNISHER. What I know of the Punisher is badass."

Right, right. I'm sure the Punisher has never, ever said a corny one-liner before killing somebody. Nope. Never.

Never has any other badass, now that I think of it. Dirty Harry? The Man with No Name? Ash Williams? John McClane? Nah.

But that's enough sarcasm.

"What is shown in this movie is pure pussyness."

You're missing the part where Frank Castle killed all of his enemies in a cool and calculated manner. You make it sound like two minutes after he got shot, he should've just stormed into Howard Saint's house, screaming with an uzi in each hand.

Frank is crazy, but he's not stupid.

"The Punisher is a corny Character? What the fuck are you smoking? He's one of Marvels underrated gems. He's my favorite."

Hey, I like the Punisher too, but he's corny. His design is goofy and silly. Mostly corny in a good way, though. Not that whole angel plotline. That was corny in a *bad* way.

"Did I expect him to go around shooting everyone? UHHHHH YEAH!!!! lol."

So you just want monotonous killing? That's nice. If all he did was shoot everyone, it would be boring. Plus it sets apart the targets from the henchmen.

Ultimately, Frank's after only four characters (five if you count the guy who killed his father). He just wants to kill the three Saint family members and the gay guy. So he shoots up and arrows the generic henchmen while saving the more sinister, torturing deaths for the targets.

"Instead he tortured them with popsicles."

Again, taken straight from the comic.

Eh, what can I say, I'm an idiot. However, it's just like any other action movie: Corny lines, explosions, and gunshots. Did you really expect anything more than that?

I expected this movie to be dark. Not filled with Cheesy lines and charaters who I didn't give two shits about. The only good thing about the russian fight is when Castle SLAMS through the wall hitting another then crashing down. Me and my friend laughed for about 5 minutes straight. OH NO LOOK OUT! ITS A GIANT KEVIN NASH! NO ITS POPEYE! NO WAIT... ITS BOTH!

And he dies so fucking stupid too. Falling down stairs? He gets stabbed in the chest and doesn't even flinch but falling about 5 feet kills him. He's a FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH! Yeah, My Ass.

The corny lines had me wanting to shit in my own hand and throw it at the screen/people who were applauding them.

Dude... Apparently you like it. I obviously hate it and feel that even I could have written a better script and directed a better movie.

Lets pray to God theres no more sequels. And if there is MAYBE, JUST MAYBE with a different director we'll see the TRUE Frank Castle.

Look out! ITS FRANK CASTLE! AND HE'S ARMED WITH ......A BOX OF POPSICLES!!!

I do have to admit, a large majority of the people here could've wrote a better script.

But then agian:
Travolta: You kiled my teh sun. You suxxorz!!
Jane: Ha Ha! I pwned j00!! I ROXXORZ!!!!

OH Man this made my day! This guys review is WORD FOR WORD what I feel about this movie! Just to let you know I'm not the ONLY one that hated it.
Enjoy!!
