I’m looking forward to the Punisher sequel. Supposedly, it will stay closer to the comic book theme of him just walking into a room and annihilating the bad guys.
Obviously you need a story for a movie, but the first one seemed to have a bit much. It was understandable/forgivable, though, because they had to explain the history of how the Punisher came to be. Now with the character's background out of the way, we should see more raw action.
I just hope they keep out the CGI and guys flying through the air on wires. Part of the beauty of the first one was, IMO, the simplicity of the “old school” stunts. I read that most of this was due to budget constraints, but I loved it and hope to see this trend continue in the franchise.
