If you've watched the making of thing on the dvd they go on about they were on a budget so i suppose thats one reason it failed as for it sucking i did'nt mind it myself.
I actually thought they pulled it off quite well. Yeah, it was a bit corny, but for the most part the action was dialed down,and the intensity was cranked up. Either way, Thomas Jane IS the punisher for me.
I swear to god..if nick cage is the next punisher...MANY babies are going to get murdered by me

LMAO. He'd better not be. What is he in a competition with James Marsden to see who can be in the most Comicbook Movies?!
That's very true. Even so, I liked the movie. It wasn't the greatest, but hey, it was good. Especially due to the fact that they wanted the origin to be something that most people can see. I heard that the 2nd one was going to be a lot better and more true to the character (see rated 'R').
What's with all these moronic directors/producers who screw up Comicbook Movies? The companies should require them to read at least enough comics that they can answer any questions that someone has about the character. THEN they should be allowed to come up with a script that will be handed out to some people that have written comics before to get approval. I think that Tom Jane did a good job, and hopefully will return.
If he's been studying as much as he claims and says that they don't have the film as they should, then if they go on without him, they'll still be using a shitty script. You could get the best actors out there, but if the script itself is garbage, nothing will save you. What I don't understand is why they have to be stubborn enough not to think "well, maybe we should take a second look at this like we've done virtually every other movie" (Think about how many rewrites Rise of the Silver Surfer was said to be having). I thought Jane's Punisher was pretty good...certainly better than Dolph's back in the day...and I'm glad they went with an R rating...but things could've been a little better. Seems like Jane understands that and wants them to make the sequel closer to the character, but they're more interested in what the producers have to say - and as we all know, as a general rule, the producers tend to ruin films more frequently than anyone else lol.
I'll agree that Punisher is one of the better movies, with only a few flaws, but without Tom Jane, P2 will NEVER be as good. An Tom Jane was pretty devoted to the character, so if he pulls out, it pretty much confirms the movie will be complete and utter shit. Goddamn Lionsgate, them and WB should be shot for excessive use of extreme stupidity(WB for Batman and Robin and Lionsgate for screwing up P2). ****ers....
Punisher was great also and Tom Jane fits it perfectly. Cut out them shitweird neighbors who im sure were gay together, u have the perfect punisher film.
Wait till Marvel Studios gets up and running (2008 i believe), we will see the true comic movies arising.
