New Punisher Movie

[MrWallen]

Has anyone seen the trailer yet? I just saw it on TV. It looks pretty good, mainly because it looks like they are trying to make it more realistic, and not as comic-book-like.

Opinions? Comments?

I think Punisher was before my time. Can someone fill me in?

I saw the trailer. I WANT to like it, but I don't know. It looks like it's set in some island paradise. Bleh. I want urban action! Rooftops, alleys and sewers ya' know.

as a rabid comic geek... here is my take.

I will only be happy cause it washes away the old Dolph Lundgren punisher movie.

it appears that they yanked alot of the story from the Dillon/Ennis punisher series... however they botched up alot of it as I can tell. ie removed Ma Gnuchii with for the the Saint character that John Travolta is playing, recreating the punisher as a new character instead of a veitnam era war hero gone nutzo.

This will mostlikley go down for me like jay and Silent bob strike back did... if ya dont get that comment go to your local comic book store and read the trade paperback "chasing dogma" and then watch that movie.

it will probably be very wish-washy. Even if it is a decent movie, marvel would never make it as violent, gritty, and dark as the best of the Punisher comicbooks are.

A great punisher movie would be one directed by David Fincher. A real gritty, urban decay look along with brutal violence is the only way to go with a character as dark as the punisher. Anything less is just going to be a popcorn movie for the kids.

i also want to absolutely love it but because stories like this and max payne for example are always redone in some pissy feel good manner when really that isnt what they are ment to be. i dont know for some reason i hate these super hero movies because they treat them like kids crap because they are from comics (take the later batman movies for example and that god awful punisher movie) i mean spiderman being like that is one thing thats the spiderman style but punisher doesnt fit in that way and would suck if they did make it like that

Who ever directed Gangs of New York(is it Schorsazi? I forgot) would of been a good director for the film. GoNY was just dark and well bloody hell. Knowing Marvel it will be all dressed up and PG13, but for a good Punisher movie, I agree, would have to be rated R to get at the core of the series.

Looks neat. Thank God Travolta isn't playing the Punnisher!

OMFG this is so ripped from the dillon ennis series ...

like I said above they basicly just replaced Ma Gnuchii with Howard Saint.

If ya want the spoilers for it Um read the friggin comics

the guy who plays the Punisher looks kind of like Christopher Lambert's less weird lookin' twin.
