Before someone reads this preview before hitting the jump...I'll just copy and paste a random quote from somewhere. Until you actually hit the jump. "there's two theories to aruguing with women. neither one works some people are funny. they spend money they don't have, to buy things they don't need, to impress people they don't like... she who laughs, lasts the early bird get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese stop the q-tip when you hit resistance." Ok now here's hoping you actually hit the jump. So apparently, there goes a rumor circulating around the internets that Brett Ratner is slated to direct the live action God of War movie. [url=http://www.joystiq.com/2008/07/25/rumor-ratner-to-turn-god-of-war-film-into-geek-tragedy/]Source[/img] I don't know about you people, but the only difference I see between Uwe Boll and Brett Ratner is a bigger budget. We can all agree that X-Men 3 absolutely sucked, I don't know what the hell they were thinking when they even let Ratner remotely come close to touching those series of movies or any other movies that he will ever touch. Just ask Jackie Chan, whose renown work with his Rush Hour series was by far self-admittedly, his lowest in his career. I wonder if Chris Tucker is going to be Kratos now?

Ever.
That said, I wouldn't consider anything else he's done or been more involved with cinematic masterpieces. He's competent but has no real vision. Definitely not who I want directing the God of War movie.
Maybe Gears, but not God of War.
As far as the story... Ratner can suck a fat one. That ass clown took the action out of Jackie Chan. Just watch the "making of" special on the Rush Hour 2 DVD and he spells it out for you. To paraphrase, "American audiences can't handle action." Hey buddy, fuck you. How the hell is he going to make God of War then? Turn it in to some love story? Bore us with the details and add a side kick comedy relief? FUCK... YOU!
