InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

djfrost-46786 Just an average action movie. Reminds u of Mad Max. Too bad some of the parents don't take Justice in their own hands with HS shootings. Thomas Jane played a great role. He looked the part.

Smoreni Zmaj I didn't expect much from this flick. Cast wasn't tempting, I never heard of its director and The Punisher from 1989. was lousy, so I even thought of skipping this one. Fortunately I didn't. To date this is one of the best Marvel movies. Story is well developed but it's not too long or stretched, acting was very good (Travolta's performance was pleasant surprise), directing and music are good, it holds attention from the beginning to the end and it's easy to get involved with the story and characters. I never rated any Marvel movie higher than eight and this one is strong eight. So far, top 5 for me are Howard the Duck (1986), Blade II (2002), Daredevil (2003), The Punisher (2004) and maybe Spider-Man (2002). The rest of Marvel movies up to year 2004 are on scale from mediocre to complete failure.8/10

stoic-eye One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The script is horrible, the dialogue is horrible, the acting is horrible. The editors were not on their A game this day. With such a great story in The Punisher comics you would think you could pull off a great movie. I would suggest sticking with the Daredevil Netflix series to get a better representation of the Punisher. I am hoping we get a spin off series soon. This was just a very poorly executed film. As this review sums it up, I am going to pontificate nothing within these next two sentences. This is just an attempt to meet IMDb's silly policy of ten lines of text.

npfares Thomas Jane, I think, was a great choice to play 'the punisher'. However, due to various acting choices and writing choices for the movie it lacks real intent of the movie. The editing team also takes blame for how poorly this movie was received. It tried, very hard, to be a good comic book movie. But, in the end, it just patronized the fan base. Mostly, due to the company who financed this film not realizing the 'ideal' or 'good' of a Punisher film compared to the comic books. Secondly, casting people like John Tavolta was a horrible choice. He wasn't even close to being believable as the 'bad guy'. In the end, the movie failed to become a good movie because the company you made this movie did not realize that the fan base wasn't looking for a generic revenge movie but a real life character who can kick ass as an emotional and in depth character.
