The Punisher full trailer

[Sideshow Spock]

Just finished it tonight. Seems weird to compare it to the other Netflix Marvel shows, cuz it was such a different animal. But I thought it stood head and shoulders above those other offerings..

[EMCE Hammer]

I liked most of it. My gripes are the girlfriend angle and Frank being dirty before anything happened to his family. I thought they handled Billy Russo really well.

[CrimsonGhost]

Well, I for one really liked it and it gives me new hope after Iron Fist and Defenders.

I really liked the angle they took on the war vets, PTSD, and why being the Punisher would never work in a real life situation.

[Nostalgiabuff]

see, now I liked the Thomas Jane version...except for Travolta. but I can look past his goofiness and still enjoy that movie.

I guess Punisher is not really for everyone anyway, just based on the subject matter, so everyone can have their opinion on each version and no one is right or wrong

I loved his Daredevil appearance. I was excited for the show. First couple episodes OK (Amanda quit in episode 2). I found the need to keep watching. I liked some aspects a lot. (Lead actor, Micro character, Marvel Universe) I disliked more things (Russo, Madani, unnecessary violence, killing civilian contractors not likely in on the gig, ability to fight when nearly dead 5 minutes ago, not seeing things that should be obvious, inconsistencies, predictability, lack of comic book je ne sais quoi,.... and I had to fast forward through any scene with Madani's mom, ending left me annoyed I'd wasted my time.

Punisher with Dolf - not good
Punisher with Jane - Terrible (thanks to Travolta)
Punisher short with Jane - good
Punisher with Stevenson - watchable
Punisher on Daredevil - very good
Punisher Netflix - not worth watching

Just like in the comics -He is best used as a guest character or in small doses

I like your post. I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't like the Netflix series. I liked him in Daredevil, but his series was super lame. Not Punisher at all.

I'm up to Episode 6, and have been more than happy with it, especially after those 2 awful movie attempts. Bernthal is great. The only thing I note about it is that it is a little bit like the old Person of Interest tv series. Punisher and Micro are kind of like Reese & Finch.

[C.H.O.A.M.]

I thought it was really good. No filler, well written, didn't try to do too much, no forced humor or cheese.
A little too gory maybe but that's to be expected.
Intense action and well choreographed fight scenes.
Bernthal is indeed the best take so far.

[The Bat]

Yes, Bernthal, best Punisher ever...

Yes! I totally agree with this as well...best Actor yet to play The Punisher! I can't imagine anyone else in the part now!

[The Bat]

Yeah, it was brutal to watch at times...but oh so fun too, lol...

Yes it was both brutal and FUN! LOVED IT! One of the best Netflix Marvel adaptions yet! Bring on season 2!!

[Hector]

[Bravestarr]

Finished it very violent and depressing need to call the hot line

[johnnystorm]

Watched the first half of episodes yesterday, working on the rest today. Certainly one of the best Marvel series, and Bernthal is great in the role.

[Nostalgiabuff]

Yeah I like this approach better than any film I've seen. I really love revenge movies, so while I never read the comic, it seems to work well on a platform like netflix. I think this actor is the best interpretation I have seen.

yeah, I never read the comics either(well maybe 1 or 2) but I agree, best interpretation of the character, IMHO. yes they changed some of the backstory, but it still is the same idea, family murdered, seeks revenge, has a strong code of honor. I just love how they show how tortured the man is. really gives more of a sense of what drives him. the villain was obvious from the get, but I did not mind. I guess he becomes jigsaw? I think that is his name, same villain from Punisher Warzone?

[Bravestarr]

Kinda noticed that but being t he new guy didn't want to say
