To be honest, I hated the new punisher. It seemed like all of the actors were there as a chore, not a joy. The storyline was not something you'd see in the comic, or you'd expect to see in a movie for that matter. The director was either a first time director, or someone I'd never hire.
In Man on Fire, Denzel washington actually conveyed some emotion. Dakota Fanning gave her usual 'girl who is way to smart fo her age' type performance, but it actually fit with this movie pretty well. The relationship development between the two is what makes this movie great. You actually get the feeling that these two people would start on rocky ground, but would start to be great friends and almost move to a father/daughter thing by the end.
I would say Man on Fire has it all over punisher.
