Another Comic, Another Movie

Soon to be released Punisher: War Zone is yet another movie based on a comic book. The main difference I found out about this one is that it's not meant to be a sequel, and instead it's meant to "reboot" watches since the first one was released in 2004. It seems like a good idea to me. Now, I've never even seen the first one, but based one the pictures and other blogs I've found I think I might go rent it. The entire tag line for this movie, "vengeance has a name", intrigues me. I have heard the phrase before but never really believed it until now. Just the fact the Frank Castle's family was murdered and he was left all alone to find the men who did it. It just doesn't seem like your normal comic book story. In here the good guy turns bad but he's still a good guy? I'm not sure what to think of it completely.

Ray Stevenson is going to be playing the new punisher instead of Thomas Jane. Yet, once again I can't any assumptions since I never saw Jane act in the first one. I did see him in The Mist though, and I thought he did a really good job. As for Stevenson, I don't think I've ever seen him act in any movies or TV shows so I can't really say much. I guess what I can say is that I honestly can't wait till this movie comes out, because so far I've enjoyed every movie I've seen that was at one point a comic book. Whether it was published by DC or Marvel, I've liked them all, and I hope there are many more in the future.
