Everyone thank the masses who chose to see the other revenge movie with the terrible acting, ridiculous dialogue, poor writers, and ego trippin hack directer that came out the same weekend...I'm not saying any names...but really...how lame.

To all ye faithful BUY THE DVD...DVD could change things...

The Punisher easily became one of my favoite comic book movies.

I saw both on opening day and the 'masses' by far made the right choice.

Nothing has been confirmed YET! It has yet to open in a lot of countries and dvd sales will be a huge factor. LGF has already made their money back from the US showings so all the money coming in now is all profit.

I didn't want to pay full price to see it so I waited till it was on at the cheep theater and now it is. I haven't had the chance to see it yet I went yesterday, but they wouldn't let me in because im not 17 (im 16) and the old lady that works at the theater and the only person to card people there was working. So I think im going to go see it tonight if I can get off work early enough.

btw, There is no way The Punisher could be better then the other movie you mentioned.

The only way to make a true sucessful Punisher movie is to have John Woo run the show. And we're not talking about the MI:2/Bulletime/CGI/Tree Hopping styled Woo. We need the old school Woo from Hard Boiled/The Killer. CGI and make believe human abilites takes away the drama and action from the movie. If the next Punisher can be anything close to Hard Boiled, we've got Oscar material on our hands.

There. I said it.

They shouldn't have opened The Punisher on the same date as Kill Bill in the first place. Kill Billl had too much of a fan base who had seen Volume 1 and had to see Volume 2. I know The Punisher has a long standing fan base dating to it's initiaon in the comic world, but Kill Bill in my opinion had much better promotion. Some of the public might have gone to see it alone based on the fact if they noted in the trailers that it was based on a comic in the Marvel universe among others like Spiderman, but the average viewer wouldn't even think it was a superhero movie by the promotion, and I agree with Knux Kill Bill was much better than The Punisher.

I think that John Woo is tied up and gagged in the other room. Somebody has stolen his face.

Maybe if Punisher had a mace wielding school girl...

**Thanos** · 06-27-2004, 08:38 PM

Good. It was a terrible movie, an even worse comic book movie, and did terrible at the box office. A sequel would be totally undeserving.

You sound very bitter. Just because you didn't like the movie you want others to suffer?

**Icer** · 06-27-2004, 10:02 PM

The Punisher was good, but I cant blame people for seeing Kill Bill.
It is exponentially better.

**Knight** · 06-27-2004, 10:12 PM

The Punisher was ok but it could have been a whole lot better. I was actually hoping they would make a sequel just so we could get a better movie. As for the dvd I might get a pre rented copy if its cheap enough.

Not many will be suffering from the lack of a sequel, considering the poor box office The Punisher received. Plus, the majority of critics and people who had the misfortune of viewing the movie agree with me, the movie was terrible. Why would a sequel be produced for a movie that didn't make a lot of money? It's illogical.

Most people did like it. Got to yahoo and read some fan responses and they'll say it was awesome. People are listening to critics way too much these days and when Punisher comes out on dvd the sales will be excellent. And a sequel does seem logical and if one does come out I hope you'll be happy that you contributed to the funding of that sequel by spending your hard earned money on seeing the first one. And if a sequel doesn't come out I'll be sad for about 5 minutes, but you still lost your money on seeing The Punisher and I know you don't want to see a sequel, so either way you lose.

Actually, I'm quite glad I went to see the Punisher. It provided me with some great laughs, although it wasn't meant to. By the way, the majority of fan responses were negative. And why does making a sequel seem logical?

Glad that you enjoyed the movie. Something tells me you didn't look at the fan responses on yahoo either. Creating a sequel does seem logical because Frank can now go into full Punisher mode and start blastin' every thing that by God moves. I'm not sure why you should give a crap anyway since you hated the first one. So if you could explain why you should care please enlighten me.

How about to make a better movie?

Come on people, buy that DVD! Buy two! Buy three! One for the office! One for the dog! The Punisher deserves more sequels than Blade or Crow at the very least.

I don't.
