Reaction: Following another Best Actor win, Tom Hardy has become one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood with his $25 million paycheck for God of War. Thankfully the investment in his services paid of well as this movie was always going to live or die based on who played the lead role. Based on the box office figures, hopefully Flimmer, Jones and Hardy are interested in making a franchise out of the property.
"God of War is a mess, plain and simple. It is an unfocused and confusing film. Flimmer's script has the hero, Kratos (Tom Hardy), bouncing all over the place and never settling in enough to develop any of the characters." - Perry Manson, CinemaBlend.com
"Tom Hardy does his best to save this one, but the stakes don't seem especially high and the source material not properly mined for the more interesting aspects." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow
"This movie would have been a complete disaster without someone like Tom Hardy in the lead role. His fierce performance single-handedly saves an otherwise forgettable video game film." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
