Will it stay true to the greatness that was the Garth Ennis comic? Will the actors be any good? Is anyone going to see it when it comes out in April 2003?

I wouldnt call myself a hardcore Punisher fan, but I know a thing or two about him. I just picked the TPB of Welcom Back Frank and what I have heard it takes a lot of elements from it like the Russian(played by pro wrestler Kevin Nash) Joan, Mr. Bumpo, Spacker Dave. But it seems the villian character is a movie original. It seems the director writer are fans of the punisher and are trying to keep up with the modern comic.

BTW an OT point. I am kinda not looking forward to the MAX series. I really like the comedy element which I hear will be gone when the seires goes to MAX.

I'm not a huge Punisher fan myself, but I'm pretty sure the movie is gonna be pretty good. It depends on the feel of the movie. If done right, it could be really good. The acting will probably be good because there's some good actors in it (like Travolta). I want the movie to be a little dark, not as dark as Daredevil, but a little dark will be good for the movie.

Still waiting for a Dan Hibiki and Robert Garcia dream match!

Not a huge Punisher fan, but I'm familiar with the character and his story. Have no idea if the movie will be any good (Travolta is usually an insufferable ham when he plays the villain), but the trailer is awful. Then again, with the jet black hair, Thomas Jane does kinda look like Castle.

I think Thomas Jane makes a good Punisher. Has anyone here looked at the new trailer yet? It makes me want to see it.

Let the Boides hit the Floor is one of the most annoying songs of all time, but other than that the trailer was good. It is weird seeing a buffer Jane with black hair compared to his normal really skinny blonde hair self.

I still can't believe Nash agreed to do it. I mean, did he see what Ennis did to the Russian? After the miniseries that is. Fun stuff.

The Punisher in the comics has been killing people in for years; Garth Ennis himself has said he's pretty much a serial killer. This movie needs to make Tarantino puke, if it wants to be accurate.

The Punisher doesn't need to be Ahhnold. He shoots people for crying out loud; why would he need a bodybuilder's physique. Actually, I wish they'd taken Ennis's idea and put in Rutger Hauer or someone about that old. In the comics, the Punisher was "born" in Vietnam as well as in the deaths of his family. He's probably in his late forties or fifties.

Dolph Lundgren (yes, you spelled that wrong, as well as the word yeah) is a ~~piece of diseased horseshit~~ moot issue. Let's just let those images captured on film die.

True, but given that the singer is no longer living (really) keep your criticisms to a minimum, please.

And its bodies, by the way. Maybe I should be Spellcheck Man. This board could use one.

This may come as a shock, but I enjoyed the original punisher film. I thought all the old marvel movies were crap, i.e Captain America and the Incredible Hulk TV movies, but I did find some entertainment value in the Punisher even if Dolph Lundgren does suck as an actor; I guess I found the "I have to work with the mob bosses to get their children back" was more interesting than "Here is a bad guy mob boss, build up to climax, kill him" with no twists in between.

If you have seen any pictures or read any reports on this movie you would know:

1. They changed just about everything from the comic book. (He's a scrawning FBI agent that wants a cushy desk job... WTF?!?)
2. It's going to be beyond terrible.

Just like they screwed up LXG and are screwing up Hellblazer, this is going to be another trainwreck of an adaption.

Dolph Lundgren is awesome. :)

I'm on sort of a "don't know, don't care" basis on the new movie... I might see it once it comes out, but I'm not THAT excited about it.

has anyone seen "john woo's blackjack"? dolph was in that, and the movie wasn't that bad... but maybe because woo directed.

about travolta: I like him as a villain. I really enjoyed him in face/off and broken arrow... but then again, those are both woo movies (again), and I haven't seen (nor will ever see) battlefield: earth.

So the clone of Mack Bolan, the Executioner is going to star in another movie?

The Punishment Begins in April

Now there's a movie tag-line ready made for a sarcastic comment.

Yes, he's god awful in that. He's also a terrible villian in Swordfish. I think he actually needs to be in a good movie to be a good villian.

Yeah just like they screwed up X-Men, Batman, Blade and Spider-Man.

Wait.

Just kidding. Now seriously. I hated the trailer, but it could stil turn out to be a good movie. I remember a lot of negative opinions of the initial X-Men teaser and look how it ended up.
