After watching all three Punishers in one sitting Lundgren's included. I've decided that Stevenson's was most accurate to the kill everything leave no prisoners punisher of comic books, Lundgren fits the look the best, and Jane was the best acting wise. Who do you think was the best?
Punisher
Character » Punisher appears in 2803 issues.
When U.S. Marine veteran Frank Castle's family's was murdered for witnessing a mob hit, the man vowed to avenge their deaths and became a one-man army in his personal war against the criminal underworld. With a distinct death's head skull adorning his chest, Frank Castle became the vigilante known as the Punisher.
Who's the best punisher?
Stevenson's on character (so he really didn't do anything, the script was stronger re; character).
Jane on everything else.

Thomas Jane was Awesome for the Voice of Frank Castle in The Punisher game but for the Live action look of Castle I would have to give it to Ray Stevenson all the way
He had that dark menacing look that Frank Castle had in the MAX series of the Punisher I even liked how he spoke as Frank Castle and did the Voice of the Punisher in Marvel Super Hero Squad
He was even Dark and Creepy for a Kids version of the Punisher and Did awesome..
So this is how I go For Movies: Ray Stevenson
For the Voice of The Punisher It is hard cause Both Stevenson and Jane were awesome voicing Frank Castle
Gotta go with Ray Stevenson, he looks and sounds exactly like the Punisher should. I think if he was given more to work with he could have topped Thomas Jane acting wise as well.
All three movies have been more or less done a pretty poor job as a Punisher movie. The Lundgren one just didn't feel like a Punisher movie, but as an b-action movie it was okay. The Thomas Jane one was meh, felt a bit more like the Punisher, but its biggest problem was that it was an Origin story, which for The Punisher feels unnecessary and while it had some good scenes there was more bad scenes to ruin it. The Stevenson one was awful, he did a good job as the Punisher, but the movie as a whole was terrible, poor special effects and villains who were just awful. The ending shoot-out was decent, but that is all the good i can say about it.
" Stevenson to me IS The Punisher, very dark & disturbed look. "QFT
I thought his movie was the best also.
None of them did The Punisher justice. I keep hoping a tv series happens on a network like HBO, Showtime or Starz that's good as Dexter. It's likely just wishful thinking.

I agree
My definative Punisher is the Thomas Jane version. I usually see everything I read as an Anime/Animated series and its always Thomas Jane's Punisher I hear as the voice over. Stevenson is ok, but a little too gruff for me.
Stevenson, I couldnt get past the popcicle scene in the Jane one. Punisher would have offered him a slow death or fast not play with popcicles. Oh yeah the Costa Rica scene was funny not tragic. I was like "jump off the bridge b!tch". But a rocket launcher to a jumping moron? Awesome!
