PROS:
- Ray Stevenson was a great Punisher, I truly believed he could kick some mean ass as apposed to Jane in the first film. I thought the scenes when it was just him on the screen were the best of the film.

- The action is over the top and exciting. As an action movie fan I found myself very happy with Castle blowing away countless bad guys in some hilarious and cool ways. These scenes are often sold on Stevenson's acting alone.

- The movie is slick, boasting much better production values then the terrible box office numbers will tell you.

CONS:
- The villains suck and almost wreck the whole film. I can put up with Jig Saw but the roy jumpers and Loonie Bin Jim take me out of the film every time they appear.

CONCLUSION:
I prefer this one over the first as I find it to be more fun then the first. I did find the villains in this film, particularly Loonie Bin Jim to be a little too wacky at times which took me out of the film from time to time. Ray Stevenson as Frank Castle/The Punisher was a lot more believable in this movie and I really enjoyed the scenes with him kicking ass. The movie also has very high production values and it's a shame the movie bombed as I feel a sequel to this Punisher, once again starring Stevenson, could have been the best film in the series yet.
