I haven't seen either one of the new ones.
I did catch the original movies, though.
While the Lundgren' Punisher wasn't that great, it is alright for something to watch/listen to while focusing on work or surfing.
The original MoF though, was an exceptional film starring Scott Glenn and guest-starring Joe Pesci and Jonathan Pryce.
It's gritty and pretty realistic in its violence, in my opinion.
If you haven't seen it, I would recommend doing so. Now. Go. What are waiting for? Are you still here? Somebody get me a cattle prod!
I'm looking forward to these remakes.
