The New Punisher

The preview is up. Being a comic book collector, and geek, and movie buff, I think I have a pretty good sense of what looks good, and is good. Example: Spider-Man sucked, X2 kicked ass.

But this looks good....so far......The guy playing The Punisher isn't too big, which is good, he reminds me a lot of the grizzly Punisher comics, the one with a bunch of mob and violent murder-junk, not the Super-junk.

I don't know what Spider-man movie you are talking about, The one made in 2002 is good.

I agree Spider Man was good. If he means the one in 2002 as Karpo said. That looks like a good movie - The Punisher. So many movies coming out that I want to see but no funds.

Ah, sure, Spider-Man was great the first time you see it. But the more you watch it the more you pick up things that piss you off. Least thats what happened with me. I was, still am, a long time reader of the comics. I thought Spidey was cool when it first came out, but I started to get sick of it. The slow paced plot, the crappy acting by Tobey McGuire, the horrible continuity errors. I know people are going to babble "Tobey is brilliant, best actor for the job!" ********. He has no facial expressions what so ever. His monotonic voice is crappy even when it isn't coming out of a mask. Key: Spider-Man is funny, the character I mean. That's what makes Spider-Man a good superhero, the idea of a guy taking on such amazing odds, while talking **** about the person/thing he's fighting. The script was horrible for Spider-Man, the lines where there was supposed to be comedic deliveries were horribly unfunny. And even if the script was great, or amazing, Tobey wouldn't be able to deliver his lines well enough to make the flick good. I thought it was great when there was rumors of Jake Gallyhan taking on the role of Peter Parker, since Tobey had back problems. I've said it before: Jake is like Tobey 2.0, he can deliver lines well, he's funny, and he can act without looking doofy, well, kind of. Rent Donnie Darko. I figure the second one would be better, considering they have a new guy doing the script. At least Gallyhan will make an appearance. Watch Spidey a time or two more. You catch things. I don't nitpick often, Spider-Man just pisses me off.

It's the exact opposite with X1. I disliked it at first but found that it was a lot better than I thought.

That's ok. I just watched the original Fantastic Four movie that wasn't released. I know why it wasn't now. Worst super hero/comic movie....aside from Batman & Robin. Well, F4 was hilarious...Doubt it was supposed to be.

The Thing said "It's clobberin' time" a total of 6 times.

The Full on Human Torch CGI stuff was horrible. Think of the Voltron CG cartoon that was on air a while back and make that 20 times worse. That's how bad the CG was of the Human Torch.

There were no real fights, mostly just camera spins like in the old Batman tv show, with Adam West and Burt Ward.

I never expected much from F4, but I thought it'd be better than it was....

I can't wait for this movie. Although Spidey was an OK movie, Daredevil was far better.

You seem to be the only people here thinking that... The movie is good, I like it better than X-men and I have read Spider-man for over 10 years. One thing is true tough, McGuire lack the sarcastic voice wich Spider-man should have.

Daredevil was better, though I couldn't help but laugh at Affleck. I kept thinking of him as Buttman from Mallrats. Thinking "Oh no, he's going to sex Jennifer Garner up in someplace very uncomfortable....Volkswagon?"

Spider-Man was OK...if it was a star rating, out of 5 stars, it'd be 3...I guess...

WAIT!

Simon Birch was better than Spider-man too. It's hilarious! Same director as DD...

Nah, it's someone else.. Someone Molina. Check out superherohype.com or IMDb.com. As for Spider-Man, it was an excellent movie. My 2nd favorite comic adaptation ever (second only to X2.) Those complaining about Spidey's lack of comedy, play the Spider-Man movie game. There's plenty Spidey wise-cracks that prove that Tobey is more than capable. DareDevil simply can't compare. That movie was okay, but it was just way too jumpy. I didn't really have much of a superhero feel to it either. The way I look at it is that it was like the comic, just not a very good issue. I'll still buy it though.

The new Punisher looks sweet. Kinda looks like Blade without vampires.. Yes, Marvel rocks..Marvel rocks.....

Now daredevil si thr only one of New Marvel movies I consider bad. It's boring, and Bullseye is funny, not dangerous... Lines are cheesy, And KinPing doesn't act like Kinping at all...

See, I think Daredevil is one of the best. I thought it was much more exciting then Spiderman.

Bruce Campbell is the only funny thing about the Spidey game.

It's fun. You get to pick up soldiers and like bash them together and throw them 50 feet. It's fun.
