As much as i love the punisher i really think it should be left alone in movieland. Better no film than average & poor films. In fairness the premise is so simple it must be hard to make it interesting & engaging for 90 mins.

Normally I would agree, but I think in Lexi’s case the movie might actually end up better with her gone. She seemed dead set on making this Saw, but worse.

yeah the mist was terrible.but anyway it just pisses me off when a studio intervenes so much with the making of a movie.directors should be able to make the movies their own way and not have some clueless producer showing them the door.why did they hire lexi in the first place,since they were not sure if she could deliver the goods?

I agree with you that they should of done a Tom Jane sequal but in all fairness that was the plan then he dropped out to do that terrible mist movie lol.

to be honest with you when i first saw the 04′ i thought it was mediocre at best.but not because of tom jane.i really believe that he’s a good actor and i liked the fact that they tried to make frank castle a 3 dimensional guy.of course i don’t want to see an endless bloodbath.that’s for sure.this is not a saw movie.and it shouldn’t be marketed that way.the best thing would have been to make a sequel with tom jane but make it a little bit more action oriented this time.since the character had already been established in the first flick.

The Punisher is not a two Dem character I think he actually has a good amount of depth and have an amazing film if done right. The problem with this film is that it will be nothing more, but mindless violence and a big giant blood bath. It seems as though it has nothing resembling a story in it at all.

Also I’m not all of a sudden defending the 04 movie I have always liked it. It has a few not so great moments, but for the most part I thought it was good it’s in my top 4 comic movies for sure.

[...] ScreenRant has the whole ugly story and it’s enough to make you wonder what the heck the executives are thinking. I mean, maybe they had a reason for kicking her off the film, but do they have a reason for replacing composed music with thrash metal? [...]

daniel partly i agree with you.i never claimed that the trailer was superb or anything like that.ray certainly looks the part and you gotta admit that you don’t need an academy award actor to play the punisher.it’s a two dimensional character to me anyway.but judging from the trailer the movie is true to the comic.i just don’t get how all of a sudden everyone’s praising the previous movie like it was THE perfect punisher movie.i wonder where were all of them when the movie was released.

Not to be a jerk JIM but even if the director was left on the film wouldn’t be all that great. Have you honestly seen the trailer? Lexi isn’t exactly a great director and I don’t find Ray to be all that talented of an actor. He isn’t bad just not great and something about him just dosn’t sit well with me. He definitely isn’t The Punisher in my mind.

i can’t understand those guys at lionsgate.in the first movie they cast a good actor and a very small budget with a bad director.now in this movie they have a bigger budget,more time to shoot it and now not only they change the release date but they decide to fire the director.it’s as if they don’t want to make a good movie.for god’s sake the punisher deserves a better treatment.give the rights back to marvel or another studio or else i don’t think we’ll ever see a decent punisher flick.

Nobody knows what is really going on with this story but you can be sure there are three sides..Lexi’s, Lionsgate’s, and the truth…It must have been pretty bad if Lionsgate was willing to generate all this negative press before the film was released in December..If it sees a theatrical release. I thought from all the trailers that I had seen that it looked horrible and I never had the urge of even remotely wanting to see it. I think that she did a poor job on this one IMO..all I have to base that on is the trailers and her previous movie which I thought was a poor effort as well. If Lionsgate has made no comment officially and ALexander’s tongue has been silenced by the non-disclosure deal then everything and I mean everything is pure speculation..

for god’s sake are they idiots?they think that if they throw in some thrash metal it’s gonna be more hardcore?and better?my god….i think that every movie should have a great film score not heavy metal riffs.oh and by the way punisher is NOT a SAW movie that needs tons of blood and tortures.finally i don’t think that they should have kicked her out of the movie.it’s just not respectful.when they decide to assign one they should stick and help to the end.and i definitely think we should listen what lexi has to say about all this.

I still think Stevenson is an excellent choice ( he was fantastic in Rome ) to play The Punisher and I also think that metal sound track seems appropriate to me,(((((BUT)))) I am disappointed that Lexi is being tossed aside like this.
Seems pretty disrespectful to me ( regardless of the payoffs ).
