I agree with the latter aspect of your post. I hope they add more depth in this new Punisher as well. I don't want him to just be a gun-toting killer.
Same thing could be also said about Jigsaw i hope they add a bit of character to him rather then have him as a generic villain, "I'm a villain so i must act bad"

The tone of the film itself (referring to the Tom Jane Punisher) wasn't all that dark. Aspects of it definitely were, but it didn't seem like the movie took itself that seriously and if there's one comic character that should be downright serious, it's the Punisher. Not saying there can't be any humor, but they didn't capture the feel of the Punisher in my opinion. Frank seems more pissed off in this one from what I saw in the trailer. Not to mention his appearance is older/resembles more of the MAX Punisher, which is good.I agree with the latter aspect of your post. I hope they add more depth in this new Punisher as well.

yeah, i dont know, i see it completely different. The massacre on his family and the fight scene against the big Russian were visceral and added much intensity to the movie. I think Travolta's character and overall presence held the movie down very much and not just because he cannot act..,well, yeah just because he cannot act.
I definitely do not see how people say Janes punisher was a weak portrayal of the character. There may not have been as much of a GRADUAL decline into insanity as there should have been, but it was very apparent that this was a man with issue's. This was made known mostly through acting rather than writing. I guess i might be able to see people thinking the punisher wasn't justified because he didn't murder more people than Rambo. I suppose they could have worked in an interrogation scene that highlighted his ruthlessness, but i appreciated watching the punisher use his mind to force his enemies into punishing themselves. Most of the action scenes in the movie were lifted directly from the comics and other than a rushed production and a shitty Travolta, i think it could have been one of the best comic adaptations. If you watch watch the directors cut with the animated opening sequence, the movie has so much more depth.
its funny how a lot of people are watching the trailer & already saying that its better than the last one.to me that is f*cking retarded.you watch a 45 second clip & can "already tell its better".thats stupid.i thought jane was a good punisher & other than a few things like travolta & such it was a decent movie.my personal opinion on the trailor is it looks like mindless gibberish but i cant truely judge it since i havent seen the movie.but thats just me.ya dont gotta agree
Well from the trailer it looks alot better then the last one Story and action wise, So lets just hope the actual film lives up to it

He was a good punisher which i agree, But the look for the new portrayal of the punisher is pretty much what he looks like in the MAX comics.
dunno if this was posted....

The trailer ?
Yea it was the from IGN.
The movie is gonna suck ass!
~ Comment brought to you by the people against recasting an already established movie franchise. Besides, Tom Jane kicked ass as Frank. The First movie was awesome (with the exception of Travolta) so im gonna skip this one, or at least wait till it surfaces on dvd a month later.

i sure hope so.
i watched a 1-minute trailer yesterday and was kinda dissapointed by the outfit.
It looked like the Punisher was wearing a turtle neck and i could barely see the skull on his chest.
the whole purpose for the skull is so that the enemies are attracted to shoot at the skull instead of his unprotected head. it should be really white like in the comics..
I also hope its not a typical action movie where it's just him shooting a bunch of people. i don't think people want a "Steven Segaul lame ass movie". they want depth and good twists in the story.
