In spite of who directs, i think that the GoW movie will suck because if they stick to the game(which they won't), it would be one guy on screen for an hour solving puzzles.
and if they don't stick to the game's story, then it will suck. just a brief summary of what i think of when i hear about the GoW movie.

Brett Ratner is supposed to direct it, he directed some pretty good movies. Xmen 3, I think all the rush hours. But most movie games suck balls. Mainly because their all Uwe boll films.

No he made ****ty movies. X-men 3 was one of the worst comic book movies in a while. The rush hours got worst as they were made.

If this movie had a good director then it will do fine

I don't see how they can't stick to the storyline and have an awesome game. It'd be like a superviolent version of that Disney Hercules film. Remember how awesome that was? As long as they keep with the actual plot *coughcough*unliketheResidentEvilfilms*coughcough* we'll have a great film with, hopefully, lots of violence and trademark gore...

They could actually make it really awesome if they do the following:

Show us the human Kratos. How he defeated thousands, had a love and totally owned everyone;
Show us how he came to be under servitude to Ares;
Show us what Ares does to piss Kratos off;
Show us Kratos killing legions of warriors as he heads for Ares;
Show us a superbadass fight between Ares and Kratos;
Show us a brief glimpse of Kratos as the new God of War.

Sorted, isn't it? It'd be a lot like 300, then, which is another amazing film.

X3 was bad, but not necessarily because Ratner can't direct. Visually it was pretty cool looking. If he wrote it, then we can blame him.

Edit: Loony, are you saying the RE films would have been better if they were more like the games?

I actually enjoyed the Rush Hour movies so I won't judge God of War until I see some trailers and screenshots.

Sadly, no... A conversion like that wouldn't work with them, really. The idea of claustrophobic passages doesn't really translate well to the screen. I had kinda hoped, however, that we could have done without telekinetic powers and thousands of clones. I reckon a bunch of films with the actual characters from the games might have been awesome... Resident Evil 3 and 4, however, would have worked perfectly as films... The former would be something like The Terminator without Arnie, and Resi 4 doesn't even need all that much translating - it's basically a film, anyway.

the third one was funny, but it seem too rushed, no pun intended. Before you knew it you were at the climax and BAM! finished. Again, no pun intended.

Blood Rayne? Postal? Mortal Kombat?

In my opinion, it goes like this: A game-movie conversion has a 20% chance of success. A game-movie conversion has a 0% chance of success if directed by Uwe Boll.

I don't know, I think GOW has a compelling enough story to make a good movie. Kratos makes for a very multifaceted protagonist, I am very interested to see how much of a budget will be thrown at the film.

So basically a movie based on God Of War 1 then?

They might as well make 3 in total then. One for each God Of War.

That's the general idea, yes. It means that they don't need to put too much story into the film, and can concentrate on the stuff that'll draw the Kratos fans - blood, gore and loads of fighting. Like I said, a trio of 300-style God of War films would be wonderful.

this is a toss up; a lot of video game movies suffer from what comic book movies sometimes suffer. They (writers/producers/directors) are afraid to either accept the story as is, and make changes which are unnecessary and end up conflicting with the character(s), or the story. Sometimes, they keep things from games or movies, which is just to out there to have in a movie. A lot of things from games and comic books are hard to keep in a movie, and even harder to pull off. The movies that have done well, are the ones which have had a perfect balance of keeping true to the character which has been developed over games and comic books, but interpret it in a way which works in a film. Batman Begins, TDK, Spiderman 2, are all movies which were able to keep the balance. GOW needs to find that balance.

Kickass directors make all the difference. Christopher Nolan, ahem.

Christ?

I wasn't suggesting that he should do it, I don't want him to. I was just referring to the post above which mentioned TDK and Batman Begins.
