Exactly what it needed to be.

While I thought the previews showed promise, it did more. The movie itself was great. It doesn't try to be Iron Man or the Dark Knight, but it gives enough for any of us who are real comic book fans.

First of all, Ray Stevenson is the Punisher. He looks exactly like we picture the character to be. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the Thomas Jane version, mostly because of Jane, but, he is no Stevenson.

The Punisher is violent, but that is what we expect. We do not expect to be shown mercy, and we are not. Yes, the violence is extreme, but it fits the profile.

From beginning to end, I was very pleased. In a year of great comic book films, the year was brought to a pleasant close.
