Ms. Hurd is known in the industry as a tough minded producer that can deliver a product, especially on budget. I don't know that she can be held responsible for the creative quality or content beyond a certain point. The writer, director, and actors responsibility has to begin somewhere. Just how popular beyond the fan base is a "Punisher" story expected to be? I know this has been changing over the years and it’s now common for producers to have writing and directing skills but

And then they bring her husband Hensleigh into it. It's pretty much BS. Funny thing is there's this whole 'LOSS OF STORY AND CHARACTERIZATION' part. My understanding is the problems people had with Hulk and the last Punisher, was that there was too much story and not enough action. http://www.globalpunisherarmy.com/pwztruth/

Complete with conspiracy theories involving her husband Jonathan Hensleigh. People can't seem to bring them selves to think, for what ever reason this movie could suck. But, because it's closer to the comics, complete with lighting the movie to match panels, they think it'll be awesome. And it's gory, but you know I'll take the scene from the last movie where Ben Foster is being tortured over a seeing a shotgun blast to someones face. That torture scene isn't even explicit and it makes me uncomfortable. Despite, the changes to the origin and setting in Florida. I'd say the last movie was pretty accurate to the comic, especially the Year One story. Also, there’s a bunch of people starting a I guess ‘blame Gale Anne Hurd’ campaign.

I always thought Alexander was the wrong choice for this movie, not because she's a woman, but because she is a mediocre director. Lions Gate really f-ed up when they didn't give the movie to Walter Hill, him and Jane came up with something that they both agreed would make a good movie. Lions Gate said no, and with that Jane was gone too. And then there was John Dahl, who would have been a good choice too. He saw how bad the script was, mixed with the cheap budget and short shooting time and said no to it. I've read the Alexander rewrite of the script before the minor rewrites by the Iron Man blokes. And it was crap, and looking at the trailers not much was changed. It's gory, and that's all this movie will have going for it. It'll be the action movie equivalent to the Saw movies Was it the mooning thing?
