Yet another Punisher adaptation made it’s way to the theaters in 2008. Since Marvel became an independent studio, they have been working hard to fit all of their big screen characters someway into their new Marvel Cinematic Universe. They reset the Punisher and this time Ray Stevenson portrays the role of Frank Castle. This is the third time that Marvel’s angel of death has made his way onto the big screen and here’s hoping it’s the last. Lions Gate is bringing this film to Blu on 3/17.

Did this film bomb or something?
Yeah got only about $7+ Million Dollar box office. I read some reviews and some like it as it fits the character perfectly, but others dislike for who knows what reason.
Wow, I remember seeing that Far Cry 2 put it in their game about a few months ago. I was playing MP and all of a sudden it had billboards with that in there,and it wasnt there before, thought that was some cool marketing.
I personally liked the Jane Punisher. Thought it would bomb from Day 1.
I like this new guy. I think he looks just like the Punisher from the comic books. One of my buddies here said that it was "too gorey" for him, so that may be a negative, but not for me.
I thought the older Punisher looked more realistic though, and I guess I like it when they take these comic books and make them something probable and somthing that could happen in real life.
