I haven't seen the Dolph version and I won't see this one either...
I like the way they sound in my head when I read the books.
... and none of them sound like John Travolta.
But I wish this movie the best of suck-cess.

R rating alone doesn't mean it will be good. though it will be a nice change then a water down punisher.
Lets see how it goes

The Dolf one was rated R - even had to be cut to get an R... I don't think that made it good, did it? I'm not saying this one will be bad (or good) - I'm just sayin...

While it seems like a given this would have been R, I felt the same way about Spawn...and well, somehow that ended up being pg-13...and bad. Nonetheless, this is a good thing. I mean, it's Punisher...I want some violence! Now let's just hope it's good...not sure who thought Florida would be "gritty," but hopefully that won't hinder the flick.

At least it has something more going for it now... I really hope it doesn't suck.

And here comes the brigade of "R != better." The point is that the Punisher character from the comic books should translate to an R rating on the big screen. No ifs, ands, or buts.

While I don't think an R rating will be any indication of quality, I was worried they would really "Pussify" the Punisher...and if it's got an R, hopefully that means they didn't Pussify it.

Just because it's R doesn't mean it will rock. While I like Thomas Jane as an actor, this movie is really straying too much from the source to grab my attention.
IMO, Jane's interpretation of the character will make or break this movie.
