Reaction: The studio is obviously very pleased with the turn-out of Gears of War, which has now become the highest-grossing R-rated movie in our history.
"While the film probably doesn't add much to the franchise for those who have played the games, there is enough action and battle sequences to keep even most of the uninitiated entertained." - Evan Kane, Buffalo News
"There is a boat load of exposition in the film that isn't particularly exciting, but once the film pushes past all that information it starts to become a fun sci-fi war spectacle full of macho action and destruction. I admittedly couldn't always tell the characters apart, but Gears of War is worth the ticket for Zack Snyder's style and the pure spectacle of it all." - Brenton Smalls, Playboy
"The characters have little personality and the plot is full of endless expository scenes/dialogue and countless interchangeable characters. Not even intense and game lead performances from Edgerton and Ramirez can save this one from being a rote generic sci-fi shoot 'em up." - Jon Farrell, Hollywood Reporter
