As far as super hero movies go, this is not one of the better ones. Then again, The Punisher is kind of a strange character to make a movie about - an ultra-violent, anti-hero sounds good on paper, but on the screen fails to deliver.

Im A BIG fan of the Punisher comics but the director butchered the movie right from the beginning by NOT sticking to the way Punishers family was killed in the comic version & the rest of the movie was average.Hopefully another director will come along & get it done.2X & they still couldnt get it right

A heartless film that is too focused on brutal, revenge-based violence and less on crafting characters that we will care about. The fact that all the emotional points of the film fail to resonate due to lack of development only makes the violence more horrible and offensive.

A decent enough comic book film. Very underrated, in my opinion. However, not the best Punisher movie.

This is 'The Punisher' done right. Any fan of the comic book anti-hero would be pleased with this adaptation. Dark, gritty, and oh so violent - just the way it was meant to be. Anyone looking for a rough-and-tough no holds action movie will be right at home.

An unfaithful adaptation of the comic that changes his story to a painful degree. The story really is just random with only the death of the wife and the right hand man being anything that follows something. The rest is Punisher avoiding getting killed than killing in uninteresting action sequences than he easily defeats the villain played by John Travolta. Nothing special or good about this. The changing of setting and his strange chracter actions make this just bad all together.

I was completely disappointed with this movie. I loved the comics, in fact it was the only comic I really read more than a couple of. It was sad for me to see it tuned into a movie with mediocre acting, cheesy action sequences and over-the-top criminals. I may have expected too much with John Travolta, but I guess this shows that even great actors are in crappy movies. I do give the movie a few props, it was a fairly humorous at times and I did enjoy watching the Punisher's fight with the giant Russian looking man.

Not a lot to this movie. Aside from The Punisher, you don't find yourself really caring about any of the characters, but it's action movie qualities are respectable.
