The color and lighting reminds me of Bradstreet and some of the shots from Taxi Driver. I really like what I see here.

I'm Titus Pullo, Right?!" I've seen ROME, and I do know that Ray Stevenson can pull it off. That and I hope Lexi Alexander can pull it off and keep it true to the orginal foundation laid by Gerry Conway and Ross Andru, and not knock off the Garth Ennis works. “Suck my cock, the lot of yas!

Jane was a great Punisher in an imperfect movie, but I thought it worked more often than it didn't (the fight with the Russian, his assault on Saint's house at the end, the scene with the popscicle, taken directly from a scene in Chuck Dixon and JrJr's great opening arc of the original Punisher: War Zone). This new movie seems to be correcting many of the mistakes of the Jane version, i.e. set in New York, harder, more serious tone, more violence (sorry to sound so bloodthirsty, but what's the Punisher without graphic violence?).

If the writing is there there's little doubt in my mind he'll pull off the best performance of Frank Castle ever. Not that they's much competition but still.

And i really cant take that very seriously. He can be as “intense” and “downright scary” as he wants, but that doesn’t change the fact that to me he looks like Steven Segal.

All of the positive things that have come out about this movie, that it's set in New York, that it striving for the look and feel of Ennis's Punisher MAX stories, that they've assembled an amazing cast of actors, etc. and all you can contribute is that he looks too much like Steven Seagal for you? What does that even matter, anyway? Have you seen Ray Stevenson act? He is a brilliant actor and can be so intense it's downright scary when he wants to be. So his hair being slicked back makes him look like someone you don't like. So what? Some perspective, please. Oh, Good God.
