The new punisher movie looks awful! It has nothing to do with the colors, or the violence, it just looks like a Swat team member knocking off people. Instead of the Punisher it should be called Psycho Swat… And whats up with the Punisher skull on the shirt? Why is something so simple so overlooked and changed in all 3 movies! It’s like changing Spider-man’s suit to white. So far, I rather watch the Dolph Lundgren movie, even if the Skull wasn’t there.

Joel Schumacher’s Punisher!

“Get ready for nipples on the Kevlar.”

“Dante Hicks from Clerks is pissed and ready to blow your ass off!”

“I’m not even supposed to be here today!”

I enjoyed Lexi’s last outing (Green Street Hooligans) and really appreciated the fact that she trying for a Punisher MAX feel, which is the definitive Punisher series by far. Ray looks like he could pull it off, if going for the MAX feel. The only problem I see is the lack of a Garth Ennis script. I’ll be there when this hits.

I don’t know. The trailer really had a Steven Segal/Jean Claude Van Damme Z-movie feel to it and I mean the Segal and Van Damme of today, not in their heights in the late 80s/early 90s.

As for Thomas Jane, I like him as an actor, but I didn’t think he was anything special as the Punisher. In fact, there wasn’t much redeeming about that whole movie. I don’t have the emotional tie to him as Christian Bale’s Batman or Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man.

I’m a big fan of RS and am eagerly awaiting Punisher but something doesn’t ring true here. Given that Alexander has been so refreshingly upfront about this movie, why on earth wouldn’t she know that the trailer was coming?

The more I hear about this, the less interested I become. Doubt I’ll even watch this.

I think I’ll cruise over to the New Beverly when they play the uncut Mark Goldblatt/Dolph Lundgren Punisher instead of watching this brainless, bottom-dwelling trash.

It sounds to me like she doesn’t even get the Frank Castle character. He’s not supposed to be some third-rate Seagal.

Ugh, fuck this movie.

Castle’s appearance on the 90’s Spider-Man cartoon will probably have more of a story. Here’s to Marvel’s only failure of 2008.

Some movies need to be R rated. The Punisher is a perfect example of that. This needs to be done to stay true to Frank Castle. If Parents and Politicians don’t like it, Fuck”em. I really mean that especially for the Politicians, the government needs to stay out of our personal lives.

They already made a good Punsiher film. It was called, “Man On Fire” by Tony Scott.

Denzel was so badass in that movie that he didn’t need a Hot Topic shirt to let people know he was coming for them.

A.J.,

I agree that by glancing at his filmography, Ray Stevenson looks like a bad choice, but he was one of the best characters in Rome, which says a lot since the cast of characters was great. He was a mean mo-fo, and could play a raging killer like no-one else. You should rent the series on DVD, well worth the time.

FYI- QUENFLIS- OK, AN R RATING DOES NOT “TURN OFF ” FILM GOERS. IT ELIMINATES THEM. FIVE YEARS AGO WE HAD A MASSIVE EXODUS FROM R TO 13. WHY? WELL, BECASUE THE MONEYMAKING/PROFIT POTENTIAL WAS FAR GREATER WITH A WIDER AUDIENCE. THEY ARE STARTING TO TRICKLE BACK NOW, COUPLA R’s HERE. WE NEED R, WE NEED MICHALE MYERS, WE NEED COAH HARRIS FROM REVENGE OF THE NERDS. “YOU JUST GOT YOU ASSES WHIPPED! BY A BUNCH A GODDAMN NERDS… NERDS!!!!!”

They couldn’t have found anybody else to play the Punisher?
I don’t watch Rome so I’ve never heard of this guy. I looked
up his work to see if I’ve seen any of his movies and his
filmography is a long list of dog shit.

Look! It’s Dante Hicks from Clerks wielding two guns and a death face!

He’s not even supposed to be here today!

Why does Lexi Alexander talk like a 12 year old boy? I’m sorry but this looks pretty awful. I didn’t like the Thomas Jane version very much… like at all… but I think that that looks better than this. Yeah, The Punisher should be violent but it should also have a story. It doesn’t look like this one is going to have much of one.

Ray Stevenson looks great as Castle even if I’m underwhelmed by the trailer. It’s too bright(whole film needs to be desaturated by 20-30 %) The neck thing is weird even if it makes sense and the upside down spinning shoot’em up part is straight out of Boondock Saints. Looks DTV so far but there is still a while before this comes out so who knows. Jigsaw is a good choice for a villain but this movie should have been Supermax.
