poor fuckers just have a shitty record trying to pull off Frank Castle, who really should be easy to do.

I think a Flaming Carrot, The Motion Picture, is desperately needed.

Dude it should have been good, but Tampa? They put the Punisher in Tampa, Florida? Tampa is the most uninteresting town on the entire Gulf Coast. Pas Christian and Port St. Joe consistently kick it's ass for general levels of interest. It has the most boring aquarium in all of America, a football team that would it lose all the time might make it remarkable so they win just enough to keep them unremarkable and acres of Grouper, the ham sandwich on white bread of the sea, for their cuisine. Salvador Dali moved there so he could concentrate on his art without anything distracting him. They built a real pretty bridge across the bay which was immediately set upon by the citizenry for suicidal purposes. They put Frank Castle here? It may help things make sense, after all anywhere else experiencing a Punisher reign of ultra-violence might necessitate the state authorities to call up the National Guard, but it's Florida and it's Tampa so shrugs the word. So ok, Punisher in Tampa and no one cares might make sense, but not a great movie.

I saw the preview, and it had "Straight to DVD" written all over it.

I agree that their departure from the Central Park origin story was crap.  However, with comic book movies you kind of have to take what you're given.  They will always be flawed.

I disagree, the first and second Spider-man were great movies, as were the first and second X-Men movies. Batman(Tim Burton) and Batman Returns were good but had flaws, but Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins, as well as The Dark Knight were pretty good stand alone movies.  Hulk was ok, The Incredible Hulk was much better.  Iron Man was good, but flawed in the comic book sense.  Both Hellboy's were flawed but good.  300 was a phenomenally well done movie.  Daredevil missed the mark, Elektra had potential but should have been rated R.  Ghost Rider was abysmal and should have been rated R for any chance.  Fantastic Four was poor to mediocre as was the sequel, but they had little to go on with that.  From Hell was bad, so was V For Vendetta, The League of Extraordinary Gentleman was mediocre, but all of them completely disregarded Alan Moore's storyline and raped the original premise(I'm hoping for a good Watchmen movie).  The Phantom was bad, The Shadow was good but suffered from Alec Baldwin starring.  The late 80's attempt at Captain America was horrendous.  So yes, most are flawed, but not all when you have a good script writer/director.

The review for "Shark Sandwich" was merely a two word review which simply read "Shit Sandwich".

Daredevil "missed the mark"?

If by "missed the mark" you mean "sucked the ass out of a dead skunk."

What a crap film.  Assfleck didn't look like he could punch his way out of a paper sack.

That is a truly eye-stabbingly bad movie.  It's too awful even to have playing in the background while you're peeling carrots in the kitchen.  Take my word for it.

Another:  Ghost Rider, by the same director.

Indeed, both of those movies were so bad it was hard to believe that they weren't  based off of video games.

Here's a different perspective from Patton Oswalt.

That makes me want to see this movie.

Patton Oswalt is MARRIED? To WHAT?
