God of War Movie a Bad Idea

by Amy Tucker on December 13th, 2007

god-of-war.jpgI must be the only person in “the industry” who thinks this is a bad idea. Or, if others feel as I do, I haven’t found where they’ve writing said opinion.

Well, I feel like crap today so I’ll use that as my excuse for being the asshole.

God of War: The Movie is a bad idea. Plain and simple.

The first God of War game rocked. It introduced a new way to kill things with all of its head wrenching goodness. The manic button pushing to kill sea monsters was tons of fun. And, who didn’t love the minotaurs?

God of War 2 sucked.

OK. So maybe sucked is a bit harsh.

God of War 2 was redundant.

But, people bought it up like hot cakes [I’ve never really gotten that phrase] and it has somehow become one of those games that “you gotta play”. I played the damn thing for about three hours and then put the controller down out of disgust. I kept expecting something to distinguish 2 from 1; it never came.

I don’t even wanna talk about God of War 3.

So, when I read that the God of War movie is still on, I want to run to the bathroom and wretch. Actually, I want to do that anyway, but the idea of the movie doesn’t help matters. David Jaffe seems like such a nice guy and he’s really excited about the movie, but I’m just not feeling it.

I’m sure that God of War 3 is going to sell its ass off and I have no doubt that the movie will rake in the dough as well, but does that necessarily mean that they will be good?

Um, yeah. Not so much.
