Yep. Can't wait to see a movie about a dick with no sense of proportionality paint the screen in entrails. That'll do good for society, right?
"I don't know how you can justify the series' butchering of Greek mythology at the cinema"
Have you seen Troy or Wrath/Clash of the Titans?
Hollywood is incredibly adept at butchering any story.

Ruined. This film is ruined, anything these guys touch turns to shit. Also the avengers movie is overrated and green lantern was better
So it'll be like Saw 3D set in ancient greece? so long as the owl from the first clash of the titans replaces the jigsaw puppet I'd see it.
So itll be terrible, shallow, boring, and its only redeeming factor will be an overabundance of violence and gore? Sounds perfect for a God of War to me.

Because there's anything left of Greek Mythology to butcher at this point. Everything has been overdone and misinterpreted the hell out of at this point that it's almost irrelevant. If it was popular thousands of years ago, some guy in a suit has already said
"So how can we twist and exploit this to make some money?"

Why can't somebody look at a more grounded videogame like the Red Dead series and make a movie based around that.
It could give other western movies a run for their money...
Who the fuck am I kidding they would get a hack like Shamalan to direct it. They would fuck it up further by casting Matthew McCaghneheh(?) and Megan Fox(yeah, remember Jonah Hex?)

"I don't know how you can justify the series' butchering of Greek mythology at the cinema." The first game had a pretty good story, which devolved into the goreporn it is now.
Its unfortunate, but the saw writers do seems like a perfect match. They will likely lost the whole point of the characters, but so do the developers now...

At this point I don't care about this series anymore, I'll just remember the good times I had with GOW I & II and move along.
God of war 3 is my favorite by far and im super excited for ascension.
To me more god of war the better... And ill be hoping this movie at least turns out decent.

first to make a good movie based on video game you have to have a good video game - i don't see here any good movie happening, if you know what i mean. God of War has atrocious story that is so overblown it's makes everything look like a joke, especially 3rd one.
it's basically one shallow character that's dick and angry 24/7 slashing everyone to the narration that would make even taking a dump sound like Shakespeare.
@TheNopeMan,
no, just no. Red Dead's story was so cliched and overdone in other westerns that there's no point in making this. it simply was done before in much better way and frankly why would anyone bother paying for license to Rockstar and having them screw your movie when it's just a friggin western with no unique features - you can make western without that license and nobody would even notice.
the problem with video game based movies is that 99% of games have simply atrocious story that no writer or director could turn into decent film. while that 1% is not popular enough to warrant a movie treatment. most games treat story as a way to push you through the motions that will very lousy link together levels and setpieces.

This reminds me when I had no internet service on a ski-trip to a small-town, I picked that Conan the Barbarian remake from the resorts "Free" 1 per day movie rentals, it was the worst 2 hours of non-stop plotless violence I've never seen, not horrifying but.... boring!?
Why would it be under greater scrutiny due simply to the change in media? Do you heavily scrutinize the transformers movies? If you can shut off your thinker for mindless videogames, why can't you do the same thing for mindless movies? This disconnect in logic confuses me.
I wonder if Kratos will be interested in playing games, really drawn out games that have ridiculously stupid conclusions.
I don't think the God of War series was ever intended as an accurate description of Greek mythology. Personally, I thought Kratos was much more interesting in GoW3.
However, this will be a terrible movie.

As far as gameplay goes God of War is incredibly stupid, but I always found the story interesting, and by the end of it Kratos actually became a pretty likable and interesting character.
As much as I like the Saw movies, I never really liked them for their writing exactly... So I can't go about saying this is good news to me.
The fact that the studio needed to take the work of the guy who wrote Road to Perdition (a really great movie) and give it to the guys who wrote the four latest Saw movies (literally the worst in the group), to polish it off, is really really worrisome. Its like throwing a baby off a mountain and expecting it not to be disfigured if it lives.
Speaking of, they mine as well give the movie to Zack Snyder and let him make another 300. At least if the writings bad, everything else about it will at least be entertaining.

Loved the three primary GoW games, but can't see this working. Games' stories can be great, but even the best of them are often hollow or simplistic compared to films. GoW worked because it took inspiration from Greek stories and fantasy movies; now this is being regurgitated back to the big screen, it could too easily look...silly.
And the Saw writers, those bastions of quality? Oh dear.

The saw movies were written very well. the acting could be a bit better but i loved those movies. i almost have all of them.. i did buy a movie from the writers of saw and boy was that a load of crap..
The god of war games were a very successful and very interesting series. the story was could be better but it was well executed.
