The Punisher 2 Update

That little quote was towards creative differences and the budget of the film being cut.

WOW!! I knew this movie was going to tank but i did not expect it to do this badly. Meet Dave was more successful 😂 Looks like Frank Castle has finally died.

Yea, it's kind of sad really.

Very. I'm still getting the DVD

Well mainly in movie form.

No, the Thomas Jane one.
They really restricted the filmmakers on that one, which surprised me because Marvel was becoming a heavyweight with it's films.
Lionsgate is still a lightweight outfit, it seems.

Yea that was stupid with lionsgate how they restricted the budget for that Punisher movie but still they did an okay job with what they had

Has anyone checked out that Directors Cut, Whats it like ?

LOL

Whats so different with the directors cut?

Thats why i'm asking.

They have to make Punisher like a Crime Drama in order for it to be good. Have Tony Scott make it.

they marketed it wrong.
it should have been called= "Punisher: No pvssies allowed"

then the movie would've done great. its when pvssies who've never read a single punisher issue go and watch the movie and come out crying because of the blood. why critics go and watch a movie from a franchise they aren't familiar with is beyond me. F0ck critics.

best Punisher made to date. Ray Stevenson has the look and attitude for Frank Caslte. Good "comic book adaptation" means that it sticks to the comics and respects the fans. Lexi Alexander did that for us. Props to her. and props to Stevenson for a good performance.

🙄

They don't make these comic book movies "Just" for the comic book fan crowd they make it for everyone

and besides i don't think its the people that can't stomach the violence which this new punisher movie showed made it do bad i reakon its more of it getting released around christmas i betcha it'll do alot better when it gets released in Australia at the end of this month.

Apart from the fact that most of the sequals are crap.

its for the fans of the franchise. that's why Punisher: war zone was given good ratings amongst fans and on IMDB.

I know this Punisher was made for that reason but i was talking about Comic book movies in general.

this should have been released in september like it was supposed to..

movies that are released in december are always x-mas type movies or academy award type movies..

Had this been released when it should 've been then perhaps it would've been successful

the problem with punisher is that he's not mainstream marvel. x-men, spderman and hulk could sell because they were movies based on the mainstream which would include kids as well as adults. punisher is too dark for kids and even for adults, the voilence might be too strong for many of them.
THAT was the problem.

Thats a bit like Spawn back in the day when they were making the film on him McFarlane did some interview going on about how the character he's too dark for kids and is'nt all colourful like superman or whoever else and one you can't exactly do colouring books on.

I saw this movie opening day with my dad, we both really enjoyed it. Such a shame "War Zone" won't have a sequel because of such a poor box office performance but that's what happens when you barely promote a film.
