God Of War Film Has Different Ending?
See Full ImageAs most of you know, Hollywood is preparing a film adaptation of the original God of War, which we all hope will be halfway decent. If it sucks, it'll be a huge black mark on that franchise's nearly flawless reputation.
Anyway, according to CinemaBlend, an entertainment reporter has actually read the script and while he says it "almost slavishly" follows the storyline in the game, the ending is actually different.
God of War Game and Movie SPOILERS AHEAD!!!
We'd like to assume that all of you have played the game by now but if not, that warning is there for you. So now that we've covered our asses: the final battle is between Kratos and Ares, and not surprisingly, Kratos emerges victorious. He is then offered the mantle of "God of War" and he accepts it, which of course leads to more problems in the sequel. But in the movie, it seems Kratos declines the crown and tosses himself off a cliff and just before he slams into the rocks below, he says, "Your turn, Hades..." And that's the end of the movie.
We can't really decide whether this is good or bad, but we're not about to struggle with it. The bottom line is that if the movie is good, we kinda don't care how it ends; we just hope to the God of War and every other God out there that it kicks ass the way it should. Could this be the first example of a great game series spawning a great movie series...? Or is that too much to hope for?

Trust me, I'm trying very hard to be optimistic about this conversion.

i still havent played it yet.
but done right it could do very well but stick to the games portrays.
get david jaffe to help with the storyline he is the daddy of GOW so its only fair he guides the story where he wants it.
and for once can we have a movie that goes for more than 2 hours.
seriously besides transformers 1 n 2 the last movie i saw that went for more than 2 hours was lord of the rings 3.
its pathetic im paying 30 bucks to get into the cinimas if you want a drink or food it goes up to 40 just for 2 hours.
rip off.

I thought there had to be a God of War and it wasn't that he accepted the throne of being the God of War after defeating Ares, it was the fact that he was forced into it more or less because of his feat. Isn't that PARTLY the reason he now wants vengeance against Zeus? Because he keeps getting into these situations that are more or less even worse than his previous predicament, by the gods.
Anyway i honestly don't like the thought of changing the ending, if they do that they shouldn't even call it God of War. It's not called God of War because of Ares, its because of Kratos feat against him and becoming the God of War. So changing that part of it changes the whole meaning.
HOLLYWOOD LEAVE IT BE... PLEASE!
I thought whoever was doing the movie dropped it, or at least put the idea away?

-Rated 'R' a hard 'R'
-The right actor to play Kratos (Nic Cage stay away).
-David Jaffe MUST be involed with the script
-And a writer that can write and be faithful to the source material
But knowing Hollywood, they'll find an amazing way to screw it up (Silent Hill anyone?) Wish I had a reset button...
