You've said the movie, now the why. NOW THE WHY DAMNIT!

It was goofy and over the top as fuck, which is something the Punisher can do with. For all the praise Punisher MAX gets, during Ennis' run there were plenty of darkly comedic and goofy shit in those issues. Is it bad? Sure. But for me it ventured into the "so bad it's good" territory. And the people bitched about it not adapting the source material? Boo fucking hoo. It's not like this movie wipes away the comics that came before it and somehow sullied the mighty legacy of the Punihser, the same guy who fucking tried to kill Archie and was once FrankenCastle.
