Reaction: While the numbers are down overall a little bit for the God of War franchise, it is still far and away the most successful film of Season 32 so far.
"As the finale to Kratos' story, this film unfortunately doesn’t resolve the plot issues from the previous two installments. While the action remains top-notch, and Tom Hardy clearly enjoys his role, the movie feels more like a setup for a larger story. Hopefully, the franchise will eventually reach its full potential." - Frannie Drake, CBC News
"God of War III - Part One tells a fractured, incomplete story in an under-developed fashion. There is plenty of strong action and effects, but leaving the theater I didn't feel like it really meant anything. I felt like the filmmakers here used this film as a stop-gap to the real story, attempting to give the audience just enough to buy a ticket for Part Two but without really making Part One worthy of the price of admission on its own merits." - Allen Poole, AV Club
"God of War III - Part One impresses with its grandeur and stunning action sequences but suffers from feeling incomplete. While the visuals are impressive and the battles are relentless, the film lacks depth in character development and narrative cohesion. Director Andy Serkis delivers spectacle, but the rushed pacing leaves the story feeling disjointed and unsatisfying. Despite its potential, the film fails to fully explore the rich mythology of its source material, leaving audiences longing for a more comprehensive experience." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow
Rated PG-13 for intense fantasy violence and action
