Then he got a major facelift via a convenient explanation involving a brainwashing while in prison.To be honest, I don't think the Frank Castle of the 80's series is very accessable to moviegoers. It's tough to get audiences caring about a joyless character with no personality and no associates to act as foils or exposition devices. And Castle's no-frills ultra-efficient methods of killing criminals would constantly leave folks wondering why he doesn't just do all of his killing with a sniper rifle or remotely-detonated bombs, which would make for a dull, tensionless movie.I really wonder how the sequel's going to pan out. When Hollywood creative teams (producers, writers, and directors) sit around trying to agree on a script, they really have a tough time getting away from the idea that the do-gooder in question--be it a cop, superhero, or vigilante--has to have something personal at stake. This is why Joker winds up being the guy who killed Batman's parents, and why the Kingpin is the guy who killed Daredevil's father, and so forth. They really have trouble with the notion of someone pursuing a criminal as just part of a broad commitment to stopping wrongdoers, so they feel obliged to introduce some kind of intimate connection to the bad guy. So, what are they going to do in P2 to get Castle pissed off again? Have Bumpo appear just long enough to get bumped off? Give Frank a dog and then blow it up?</blockquote>
