I've seen more advertisements for the soundtrack than the actual movie.

If "Featuring the return of Drowning Pool" is the best they have to offer, I pity all but those out in the audience that are def.

I must say, with the exception of his earlier work, that I do like John Travolta. I was always indifferent to The Punisher as a franchise though, despite the 80's version of the movie being simply horrid.

>I must say, with the exception of his earlier work, that I do like John Travolta.

You have to be kidding me. Earlier works include Saturday Night Fever, Urban Cowboy and Carrie...while later works include....Look Whos Talking Now, The General's Daughter and Battlefield Earth.

Most would agree its been a steady downhill ride for Travolta.  The only recent movies hes been good in would be Pulp Fiction, Basic and Face/Off.  Even then, those are only mediocre (as far as his role in them). His success in Pulp Fiction is more credited to the writers than him.

I saw the Punisher earlier today and loved it. After being bored to tears and walking out of Hellboy forty minutes early the previous week, I needed a good comic book movie. The Punisher delivered.

While you have to suspend reality to get "in to" the movie, it was a great throwback to 80s action movies/TV series.  The film was pretty brutal and pulled no punches, something I really dug.

After seeing a few sequences filmed a block or two away from me back in November, I admit I am bias, but Tampa sure looked pretty on film and built a good atmosphere.   I hope more movies are filmed around here
 

Broken Arrow is an awesome movie.
