Holy. Crap.

I forgot how much I loved this movie.

And not the 1980's version.

I thought that movie was great, too. I'm not exactly sure why I like it so much. Maybe because he kicked so much ass without super powers or fancy gadgets.

YES! I always loved the Punisher comics, but in the comics he seemed...sorta superhero-ish. In the movie that came out in 2004 he was just a normal dude who had all this background knowledge to kick ass. I was really disappointed to learn that the sequel was pretty much scrapped.

"This is not vengeance. This is punishment." How can you not love that man.

I never really got into the Punisher comixs, I was always more into either the Tales from the Crypt comics or the Conan comics, I will check out the punisher if it is highly recomended.

The comics were good, I loved them as a kid, but I really grew out of comics years ago. The movie was just amazing.

I am really disappointed to see that Tom Jane isn't going to be in the next one, and the next one looks so effing retarded that I'm most likely not even going to see it. I knew Jane said he refused to do the next one because of all of the changes made to the script (they basically wanted to dumb it down and take away a lot of violence, and he wanted to stay true to the character), but ugggghhh. This sucks. I've been waiting for this movie almost 4 years, and it's a disappointment.

But I am still sure you are going to watch it either way.

The movie was great because it shows how far someone is willing to go for the person they love. The Punisher is my all time favorite Marvel movie, not only for it's story, action, or acting, but because I can relate to it in some ways. I'm really disappointed that Thomas Jane won't be in the second one, but apparently he didn't like the script, so maybe it won't be good anyway.

This was a great movie, he knew what he was doing and he was not playing around.

one thing you learn from this is, never kill someones family and expect to live.

They are making a new Punisher movie, but it will not be related to the one made with Thomas Jane.

You might want to check out the comics, Punisher War Journal.

No. WHy would I? I just listed reasons why I won't be seeing it. Tom Jane made a great punisher. This isn't BOND, where we expect a change in the lead role.

Kar--Completely agreed. Very Happy
