This movie will suck. Avi is the man that ruined 3 Spider-Man movies, Daredevil, Elektra, Ghost Rider, Fantastic Four and The Punisher.

The Punisher with Tom Jane as Frank Castle, not War Zone and not the one with Dolph Lundgren.

I prefer War Zone to the Jane's Punisher. Neither is great though.

I liked Jane Punisher. The rest of those movies you listed, however… :E

This is the same Metal Gear story when Snake mission is to Outer Haven, rescue Grey Fox, destroy Metal Gear and finds out his FOXHOUND commander Big Boss was the Outer Haven leader. Yeah we know what's going to happen.

War zone was more like the punisher though...

I mean those movies he produced could have been good. I think he's not getting the right people to do the jobs perhaps because it does come down to director's vision and the writers they budget for..

I wonder if Metal gear will be a let down considering how interwoven and convoluted the stories can be. There's definitely gotta be a balance between all out Metal gear assaults and stealth box love ;)

Producer holds all the power in big Hollywood productions. Having the right director and writer would have improved things, but it is the producer that hires them. And on productions of this size, of course they have money for the big guys.
