quote: Well, I read some good and some bad reviews before going. IGN gave it a 1 and a half out of 5 stars. Then again, IGN sucks.
Basically, I just wanted to say I liked the movie, give it a chance.
I agree. From some of the reviews I have read they seem to hate it for the reasons that made the comic book enjoyable. If you get the comic you should enjoy the movie although I think the movie is kinda slow at first but picks up for the second half.

I think the more you know about the comic, the less you will like The Punisher flick. I hated the Movie.
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - What the heck was Frank doing working for the FBI? Why the heck were Joan the Mouse, Mr. Bumpo and Spacker Dave roomates? What kind of a dumb Ass explanation for the skull on Punisher's chest was that? A T-SHIRT HIS SON BROUGHT!!!!!!????? The real story is much better. Frank's supposed to have a daughter and a son. When they were killing his family in the movie, why didn't they poor gasoline on Frank too? The way his family got killed in the comic is MUCH MUCH better and made sense. And the worst, most unforgivable crime of all, WHERE THE HELL WAS THE PUNISHER'S VAN AKA THE WAR WAGON?

I thought that would all change when the Spider-Man Movie came out and was very close to the comic AND made lots of money. Go figure.

I think the Capcom beat 'em up is actually more faithful to the source material.
Example: Asking bad guy for info. Gets info. Shoots that punk IN THE HEAD.
And the throat slash and gunshot finishes to the throws when holding weapons just rocked.

What do you expect? Capcom had the talent to make D&D exciting which movie makers had no chance of achieving.

Originally, I was only going to give Punisher a 9/10, but...
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - ...then John Travolta died in it. Horribly. So it gets a 20/10.
End of Spoiler
And come on, you have to admit it was fucking awesome when he was fighting Harry Heck...
Spoiler (Highlight to view) - ...and he pulls the switchblade out and Harry says something like "no one brings a knife to a gunfight" ala Connery, and then Punisher's switchblade shoots out and goes through his throat.

I haven't seen it yet so I won't completely judge it, but it tells you something when comic book marks like IGN gives it 1 out of 5 stars.

Heh, yeah, I mentioned the IGN thing in my first post. IGN is stupid, so they should be ignored. As a comic fan, I enjoyed the movie.
