"You Judge, Jury, and Executioner Now, Frank?" - Thoughts on the '89 Punisher!

Okay, so I just re-watched the 1989 Punisher with Dolph Lundgren. It's... definitely a Punisher movie, lol. I feel like the general opinion is kinda low, but I honestly think it's got some charm. Especially if you go in knowing it's its own thing. He's not rockin' the skull, which I know is a HUGE hangup for some people ('YOU DISGRACED THE SKULL!' obvi). But Lundgren really sells the whole 'broken, fueled by rage' thing. And the action is, well, it's cheesy 80s action but I dig it. What really got me thinking was the whole "He's killed 125 people in five years!" line. That's a LOT of dudes. And the cops are basically like, "Yeah, he's doing our job, but it's still wrong." Anyone else find that morally interesting? I mean, "I never wanted to do this. But I do this.", right? Is Frank right? Does it even matter given the circumstances of the mafia? Also, the Yakuza storyline threw me for a loop the first time I saw it. It's kinda out of nowhere, but it does give Frank a reason to, like, not kill everyone immediately. "They took my family." But it does seem like they’re kinda shoehorned in there, like “we need a bigger bad”? The scene where he’s saving the kids is kinda cool, regardless. What I’m REALLY wondering is: Does anyone else actually like this movie (besides me, apparently)? And if so, what do you think it gets right that other Punisher adaptations maybe miss? I’m thinking it might be the gritty, no-frills aspect. "If you're guilty, you're dead."
