This movie started had so little depth to it that a 7 year old could have done better. The plot in its entirety is this: there's a bad guy. He does bad things. The good guy must stop him.
Sure if you want to throw in there the typical damsel in distress, I'll give that to you. Maybe. For a little there he goes all emo for shooting the wrong guy. Oh man. So many plot twists I can hardly keep up. Plot = Fail.
The dialogue was terrible. I'm pretty sure if they had shot a silent movie it would have been better. Maybe limit it to one syllable words so the director can keep track of everything.
There was no character devlopment. At all. The only thing you find out about anyone is that Frank had his family murdered. Wait. Really?! I had no idea... oh. Right. That's like... the basis for the Punisher character... hm.
This wasn't a sequal. At all. I was extremely dissapointed. I was hoping for the same punisher at least, maybe some further plot development from the last one, a continuation of the story... something. I got none of that. We get a new Frank Castle, we get a new family, shoot, we even get a new backstory. All of which suck.
The violence was over the top. It reminded me of a Quentin Tarantino-style movie. So much violence that it's not even remotely realistic. I realize some people enjoy this.. I think? I never understood that. Whatever. Again, suck.
Bottom line: This move is full of suck. Never watch it. Ever. Unless you have one of those terrible movie-nights where you make fun of everything about a movie. The end.
What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Every last thing about this movie
