Okay, I saw The Punisher... (Spoilers)
 

Aside from the drunks behind us laughing and the morons smoking cigarettes in the non-smoking section of the theater, I enjoyed it. It's definitely the Garth Ennis version of the Punisher circa 2001 in the comics, not the 1980s Punisher.

There's a lot of humor in the movie and a lot of grisly death scenes, but really, I thought the death count was a little low for a Punisher movie. He only killed maybe 20 people. Hopefully the sequel takes it up a notch to maybe 200.

I thought it stayed fairly true to the comic although they messed with his origin a little bit (not a Viet Nam vet anymore). And instead of the mob killing his wife and kid(s), some mobster types kill his entire family at their reunion...cousins, aunts, uncles, his parents, everyone.

I liked it a lot better than Hellboy. It was campy but I like my Punisher stories with a bit of humor. The fight scene with The Russian is great, almost copied from his fight in the comics. Some of the death scenes are pretty creative. All in all, if you've read a Punisher comic book in the last 5 years, I think you'll like this movie. If you haven't read the comics, you'll probably still like this movie. It's similar to Rambo...one dude with great fighting skills taking on a small army.

That's cool. I don't read comics but I thought it looked cool anways. I like payback-revenge movies.

So you think it's better than the Dolph Lundgren version, right??

rictor you said I could contact you about a week ago in a 'fellow hoosier' conversation. I got your ICQ on your website, do you ever get on there ?


BTW I'm going to bed now but I'll check this thread tomorrow. No need to get on there now, lol.

cool, i will have to go and check it out when it comes out here

Yes, much better.

I'm on about 16 hours a day in invisible mode. Just leave me a message. Heading to bed in a few but I'll get back to you. Or e-mail me. rictor at ezacash.com

Rictor.. what about Travolta ? was he awesome or what ?

He didn't really have a huge part, most of the time it was just him sending his dudes after The Punisher. He's always good ;)

Well, I hate him so I really enjoyed seeing him die like a bitch.

It was definitely an interesting death heh.

WHAT ?! DIE !!! :BangBang:

What?! How can anyone be better than Drago? :1orglaugh

You might as well tell us how Travolta died...

It's actually pretty hard to describe, just go see it ;)

I warned that there were spoilers, but anyone who knows anything about The Punisher knows that he kills EVERY bad guy he comes in conctact with. That's his thing. He doesn't let anyone live.

It's very easy to describe but I won't ruin it.

Yeah well, it would be hard to visualize I would think.
