I sort of agree, but he still didn't do a GOOD job, and they got the character so wrong this time. The Punisher doesn't consider quitting his job, for one. He is a remorseless killing machine, a bit sociopathic even, that's his shit. Secondly, the whole air of self-pity he had during the entire movie pissed me off. And I can't stress enough how stupid it is for him to just be walking down the street in full, mafioso-assrape gear. It was a better Punisher than Thomas Jane, but this movie was so terrible that it doesn't matter.
Comic-fanboyism aside, I think he did a good job with what he had. Some sort of narration would have been good, considering he hardly ever spoke, which is true to the character but not entertaining.
EVERY actor in that movie did a god-aweful job, which leads me to think that maybe it was the script they were working with, which was aweful as well. Make no mistake, the acting was BAD, I just don't know if the actors felt the script wasn't worth their fulling acting chops, or if they just sucked.
Every character was just so stupid and poorly written. I can't pick a worst, because that would require a second viewing, which I will never submit myself to ever again.
And why, WHY even have Micro in this film? Why did he get absolutely no backstory? People who've never read the comics (extensively, at that) won't even know who the fuck he is.
Why have him be played by fucking NEWMAN from FUCKING SEINFELD?!?!?
*forehead vein*
This franchise needs to get it the fuck together or stop.
