Brett Ratner Is The GOD OF WAR!!!
Beaks here...
Is this a good thing or, like, the best thing ever? I ask because I'm as good on gaming as I am on comic books published post-1989.
UGO's Evil Adam landed this scoop earlier today, and he claims the "Kratos games... aren't exactly the deepest when it comes to story." That's encouraging. It also sounds like this would have to be a hard "R", which might be a problem for Ratner, considering all the waffling we've witnessed re: the rating of BEVERLY HILLS COP IV.
As with TERMINATOR SALVATION, I really don't have a dog in this fight. You, however, might. If so, feel free to leave Mr. Ratner a message in the below talk back. (Looks like he's already addressing the fans via George "El Guapo" Roush at Latino Review!)

I want Terrence Malick to make Shadow Of The Colossus!
by derlanghaarige

Had to be said.
-
The story actually IS pretty intense. It may not be super deep, but it's the "what if..." of how the Greek myths ended. What happened to those Gods and Goddesses? Why did they just kinda go "poof?" And just why the fuck is Kratos pasty white? All of it is here and will be concluded with GoW 3. Harry... the final scenes of God of War 2 would make for one of the most epic cliffhangers in action film history. Just go youtube the damn thing. You'll dig it.
-
Your apathy only helps Hollyweird make total shit.
-
If you're not a gamer, video games are just as sacred of cows as comic books are, and this news will cause many a geek's head to implode....in the bad way.
-
I'm sure he'll do a fine job. As long as he doesn't get anywhere near Captain America, I'm happy.
-
God of War is badass, The Rat will fuck it up beyong belief, sickening, he's all over video games, first guitar hero now god of war? what is this prick's problem? Granted its better then some other shit he could fuck up, i heard he was doing Conan, please PLEASE let THAT not be true

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
-
The one video game I wouldn't mind seeing turned into a movie and this douchebag is interested. If this were done right, and with enough testosterone, it would make 300 look like the Princess Diaries. By the way I totally agreed with the idea of casting Djimon Honsou for Kratos when it was suggested months ago. For any other casting suggestions just keep in mind the guy doesn't have to be bald to start with, all it takes is a razor to make the difference.
-
is Kratos? This will probably be a very not good movie to watch.
-
Chris Tucker for Kratos.
-
I ask this as one of the game designers of the original GOW who doesn't want to see all work put into the game represented my another weak money-grab movie.
-
I'm a gamer, and though God of War is a fun game, I've long ago learned not to expect anything from video game movies. The Wizard is still by far the best.
-
Maybe this means that he is off BHCIV. That would be the best news. I really like Rush Hour 1 & 2, but this guy really shouldn't direct anything but buddy cop films (which BHCIV is not). Seeing as how he made X-Men 3 totally boring and ugly, I do not have high hopes for GoW. Studio should have gone to the director of Max Payne or 300. GoW is going to require obscene amounts of CGI and blue screen.
-
damn!
-
You know it, monkeys!
-
for this type of movie. Someone who can actually establish an epic world the audience can sink their teeth into and give this movie justice. Brett Ratner doesn't have this type of visual creativity. He's never given any creative out look to a movie other then where the special effect goes and where the actor is on the screen. He goes for flash, not substance. I would also like to point out that the God of War games hold a much deeper storyline then anything he's ever touched in his career, and I honestly doubt he has the mindset to pull off anything incredible from a movie like this. He should look and be aware of his abilities and turn this movie to someone who CAN make something with this. Epic movies like God of War could be just are not his style or fortee.
-
Ratner better not fuck this up. You reading this, Brett? This isn't tough.Play the game. Or, hire someone to just play it for you.Take notes. Or, hire someone else to take notes while you watch the other guy you hired play it.Follow those notes. There is NO REASON to pull a Resident Evil on this and change things up. Maybe a tweak here or there. MAYBE.Do NOT give this the 300 treatment, either. It doesn't need to by hyper-stylized. What this needs to be is RESPECTED. Yah, I know, Kratos fucks sluts and smashes skulls, but at the same time, he does have motivation. There's a CHARACTER under that *description removed for spoilerish reasons.* In fact, all that *descriptoin removed for spoilerish reasons* IS his character. Again, play the game.Bottom line: there's no need for cheese, here. Take it seriously, and, well... we'll take YOU seriously. That may seem harsh, but it's also true. Fuck this up, and it will be nothing more than "just another" video game adaptation. Do it justice and you become... well, a God.
-
No sarcasm here. This is my Coen Bros/Superman!
-
The guy should be making video game movies. He might actually be able to make a decent flick out of video game material. Most of those suck anyway, so why not?
-
Check it out.;-)
-
Keep Ratner away from anything that has potential to be good. Someone in Hollywood is finally thinking.
-
McG is directing terminator and, last I checked, Ratner has nothing to do with it...Odd closer.
-
Malick would be good. I personally pictured either Alfonso Cuaron or Alejandro Amenebar being perfect, sylistically, to adapt SOTC or ICO.
-
That's IT! Ratner can fuck up as many comic books and kung-fu stars' careers as he wants to - he does NOT get God of War. Fuck that. "Doesn't have depth?" He's covered in the ashes of his family, for fuck's sake! And THEN murders the entire Grecian pantheon of gods! That's it! I...I...can't....I...shit.
-
...all by it's bloody self...the cut scenes are splattertastic. Don't really see any need for a watered down movie. Could be entertaining in theory, but not after going through the Hollywood Generic-O-Matic 3000.
-
This "shit" is getting made regardless of how much I fulminate. And I'm more than happy to keep Ratner in the video game ghetto. Better that than remaking ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK.
-
I wish they could get Ridley Scott to do it. I just watched the ending to second game on youtube and to make a good movie out of this you need someone with a grand vision. Or Mel Gibson. The man knows scale, structure, and blood n' guts people. It's right up his alley too.
-
It HAS to be rated R, right? How could they not make it R?WTF? Its not rated R?I'm actually surprised that so many movies that should be hardcore (at least as hard as the source material) goes soft. The last movie that came out R that I thought was going to be PG-13 was Starship Troopers.
-
Great game, though.
-
It might keep him away from projects I give a shit about for a while
-
Maybe that'll get her out of Spidey IV.
-
In the odd chance Ratner reads this, I have more faith in him to do a decent God of War flick than i do alot of Directors...i honestly think it fits his style of flick. Anyways, consider Elias Koteas...put him in that costume and he fits in the look of Kratos, the age and similiar background, being Greek. But you'll probably just cast Jackie Chan or Shia Lebeouf...
-
Like the way there can never be a decent comic book movie, or hell, a good action movie? I'm not sure why I would, but that's not the dismissive attitude I'd have expected here.
-
You're my new talkback hero. Malick would blow a hole through my head with his version of Shadow of Colussus. We need an alternate universe so this shit can happen. Alternate universe, anyone? Anyone? *Whimper*
-
Oh no, Ratner is directing?!!! He will ruin this and rape my childhood!!! And since I am such a worthless chode, my entire life will be over if a single detail from a fucking video game gets changed. WAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!
-
to the guy who suggested terrence malick doing shadow of the colossus. very yes.

Ratner has the most inert direction of any major filmmaker
by deathshrike
Normally, Ratner directing a video game film would be perfect for his inept, inert, dry, lifeless style of directing. His ability to get bad performances out of any caliber of actor (Ed Norton, Ralph Fiennes, etc) closely mirrors video games' occaisionally uninspired voicework-based star turns. Unfortunately, the God of War games are surprisingly engrossing, well-acted and extremely cinematic affairs, which Ratner's incompetence will destroy. This is very bad news. If any video game had a chance at translating into a legitimately good film, it was God of War. Now, there is no chance.
-
Which IS a big difference, after all I liked Xmen TLS much more than Superman returns.Just bring on the Gears of War Movie and maybe Halo.
-
Especially some unknown games for, presumably, consoles. That way he will be targeting an audience of similar (hah) intellect, and he'll be staying away from Red Dragons, Conans, etc.

If anyone got to make a SotC movie, here's hoping it's Guillermo
by galactic
Either way, I think ICO would make a better movie than Shadow of the Colossus... The actual STORY was a lot deeper in ICO.
-
I know we're not talking about Gears of War here but how cool would dat shit be? I think he'd own the role.
-
I can't think of anyone better than that.
-
Here's a franchise he can't ruin. If Ratshit can just stick to this and making more Rush Hour movies, I'll be happy.
-
The idea of a PG-13 God of War is genuinely laughable. What a hack. If this pans out it'll be as much of an abortion as X-Men: LS
-
As opposed to what, the "comic book ghetto"? Things won't get better with an attitude like that, Beaks. There's only one thing for it; you have to kill Brett Ratner. Do this thing and become an internet hero.
-
Ratner is not a good enough director to make God of War!!! He's made like ten movies....and are any of them rated R.....cause God of War totally needs to be!!!
God of War is one of the coolest video game stories ever!! It's brutal as hell and if you like mythology then you'd totally dig it!!!
Fuck Ratner!!!!
-
...a shitty Shadow of the Colossus. Not that he'd be let anywhere near that particular example but my point (wherever it is) stands.
-
why not? it can't get any shittier.
-
I think that represents a total failure of imagination on your part :(
-
I'm not a hater but I've seen the guys name attached to a half a dozen movies in the past two months. Most with the potentialy to be good flicks if only in someone elses hands. My question is; Why is someone known for popcorn fluff the "go to" director in moderen Hollywood? Can anyone honestly give me an answer?
-
then I'm fine.
-
That's all I care about.

Hey Brett- sorry about delaying the filming by one day at the X-
by particularly hard vato
True story- my brother in law got married in the castle used for filming the x-Mansion. His wedding was during the filming- you guys had to take a break filming on a Saturday. Nice place- he got married in the garden where Professor x was buried. I still have a blue plastic rock from the coffee table in the room with the foosball table in it, and the lady that was supposed to guard everything? Yeah- she let us take pictures where ever we wanted.
God of War will probably suck donkey- but who knows? Maybe you will surprise everyone... -
Fuck yeah, Conan is safe! Brilliant. Let him destroy Sony's poster boy for all I care, Conan might just strike lucky now.
-
There is a LOT of mythology to play with. But with Ratner, that'll be quickly tossed out the window. His "subtle" thematic touches will be as subtle as a fat guy farting next to you in the movie theatre. LISTEN BUD WE ALL KNOW ITS YOU

It's a pretty fun game...With the right director it could be a p
by beefywhore
Ratner's probably not the right director though.
-
A God of War movie had so much potential to give video game movies a good name. Now it will be mediocre at best. i felt i had to share my thoughts because the god of war series is my second favorite video game of all time (my first being Shadow of the Colossus). SOTC cannot, i repeat CANNOT, be be made into the masterpiece that it should be without a director with actual vision at the helm.
-
than a Paul W S Anderson Flick...
-
Give this to PJ.
-
I'll throw my hat in with those celebrating the fact that Ratner will not be making Conan.I think there are worse directors out there, but he was all wrong for REHThis could be decent fun, I only played the PSP game (I imagine the console versions are way better) but that had a fun story and great visuals. Plus, it would be nice to see some mythological malarkey done with modern effects.
-
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
-
I doubt Brett Ratner almost all the time. But look..
This genre might turn out to be his fit. Could be good, let it develop. -
Palm him off onto lesser and lesser videogames properties and then get a cannon to fuck him in the ass and an ostrich to shit on his head.
-
Patapon: The Movie.
-
There aren't exactly a lot of games I enjoy with a passion nor have a need to see made into film. But God of War is one of them, and this shit pisses me the fuck off. Kratos games aren't exactly deep when it comes to story? Fucking short pudgy bastard hasn't played the game then. Part of God of Wars success was its story. Theres a dark as hell mystery to Kratos thats unraveled as the game goes on and if the filmmakers are smart(sarcasm) they'll stick to that same method. It was more of an homage to Greek mythology and the films made before hand based on them, Clash of the Titans, Jason and the Argonauts. I'll spoil it right now, but any story that ends with a mortal man plunging a giant sword thru the chest of an Olympian God does not belong in the hands of Brett "I like Turtles" Ratner. Fuck hollywood, and fuck Ratner, maybe the economy will collapse before this little shit has a chance to ruin something better than he is.
-
TOTALLYY with you there lang... that's exactly how i pictured that movie. A quiet landscape powerhouse movie..I always thought of Peter Weir for the movie but since you mentioned Terence Mallick wow that would be pretty shweet.
-
Sep 30, 2008 10:09:49 PM CDT
i'll freaking make SOTC and do the fans some service
by t 1000 xp professional
..dream project right there :)
-
but he's on bioshock which makes me happy
-
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
-
mediterranean sea boys are the new beach boys.
-
great...another average director put in charge of a property that could rack the studio boatloads of money. Instead the studio is happy with a mere truckload and hence settles with mediocrity in the director's chair...perfect. Aim low Hollywood, aim low...
-
It's to the point now that I think his name floated as being attached to genre projects just to see how bit the internet crapstorm gets.
That said I don't understand why this guy is continually attached to genre stuff - it's like the people spitballing ideas want to piss people off before they shoot a frame. -
The dimwitted fuckin hack lost all credibility with that statement. God of War is a very interesting twist on the ENTIRE GREEK mythos. Yeah, the way stories play out in game aren't much, but they have all the elements in place to be as deep satisfying and epic as Omnibus edition of Complete Greek Mythology.Let me put it in perspective, remember how Verbinski used different pirate myths and legends of the sea to come up with PotC mythology? Well, a GoW movie deserves treatment like that, only the entire mythology and angle for an alternate twist [a reluctant anti-hero/god] already in place.Tell UGO's Evil Adams to crawl back into the sack he spawned from.
-
Right on the money...
This story of GoW is specifically explaining WHY there aren't anymore Greek myths... something that has NEVER been done before (to my knowledge). Didn't people criticize Pirates because it is too complex? Isn't God of War more complex given the background and detail put into the trilogy, mythwise? Ignorant fools... -
Kratos is badass though, and the gameplay is awesome. So I'm satisfied with GoW as a game, and no director, not even the resurrected corpse of Stanley Kubrick could really make me interested in a movie version.Well, okay, maybe the resurrected corpse of Kubrick.Who's doing it? Ratner?Fuck.
-
But judging by the fans on this site it must be pretty sweet. I'm sure this will turn out pretty ok-ish kinda alright in a coolish yet shitty mediocre way with about 3 really cool scenes to show you how good it could have been had the best director ever not been hired. At least its not Uwe Boll? Hmmm, just trying to cheer you God of War fans up but thats all I could come up with.
-
This guy should never be allowed to make another movie, EVER!!! I do not care if it is the next Care Bears movie. NONE! EVER! AGAIN! Him and Uwe Boll...
-
VIN DIESEL as Kratos!!!
Or an unknown. RATner should never be allowed anywhere NEAR a movie EVER AGAIN! ESPECIALLY this one. I would rather see a Paul W.S. Anderson directed GoW movie. -
Sep 30, 2008 11:39:16 PM CDT
I'm just happy he's not fucking up something else...
by lhombresiniestro
I could care less.
-
LEGO game adaptations? Imagine ordinary people playing such iconic roles as Batman and Indiana Jones. Suits: make it happen! Yee-haaaaaaw!!!!
-
That, in and of itself, is a crime.
-
Nuff said!
-
The complainers don't speak for everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed "Rad Dragon" and "X3". And I'm not a fucking apologist.
The spiteful talkbackers on here (OR HARRY) that wish you harm or your career over because they DON'T LIKE YOUR MOVIES need to relax a little bit. -
YEEEAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually, I don't hate Ratner, I just think he's nothing more than a mediocre filmmaker. The problem is that he gets attached to projects that geeks actually care about, and he really doesn't seem to. By all means if he just made a bunch of Chris Tucker movies forever I could care less. He'll continue to bank off of the popularity of his stars, and the geek community will avoid their existence. Everyone's happy.
-
Why does hollywood keep on reguritating ideas onto the big screen? Quit it already! I would like some new ideas and charachters and stories going into movies not a reshaping of ideas! Are you guys too thick to come up with some original movies now and then? I know that it is all about the fat ass dirty dollar and that even a reference to God of War had bard members eyes lighting up with dollar signs but come on man! Bring me the viewer something new and let the gaming companies reguritiate that into a game instead of the other way around. I sincerely hope there is a way. I have some ideas- hell anyone on the outside will have ideas- not all good ideas come from finks in hollywoodland- you need outside perspective - some freshness in the mix. Look outside hollywood for some new ideas and you will have your kick ass, bad ass ORIGINAL movie.
-
It should be a fun movie.
-
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. For now.
-
"In this uplifting drama set in 1991, Tom Hanks plays an estranged father reunited with his son, unseen for the first six years of his life, after the tragic death of his ex-wife.Initially unable to bond, they discover, quite by chance, a shared love of Tetris. Through removing the blocks on that little screen, they slowly remove the blocks in their hearts." reads the back of this imaginary DVD.
-
i dunno if that would really work as a feature film. that game is pretty good as a game but that seems like one best left alone. a movie about that would probably be kind of boring ha
-
sure ain't war. he's caused a couple tho.
-
I thought RED DRAGON was quite good. And RUSH HOUR was a good film. I know Ratner isn't the greatest movie director around, but he's certainly not the worst. Personally, I don't get the Ratner hate on this site!?!
-
X3 sucked balls guy. I know, I know...it was a paycheck. Hell, I'd have gotten paid too; I just would have made something worth watching. I actually puked on some poor asian kid while watching that piece of shit. As Hollywood go-to lackey I'm sure you will continue to get paid but you will always be laughed at by your peers.
-
but I feel like this website slings an unnecessary amount of shit on him. I don't consider Red Dragon a bad movie, in fact, I consider it the only film in that series that compares to Silence of the Lambs (its scarier if you ask me). X3 wasn't good, but it held my attention and I was never bored (I was at points in the first 2). The Family Man is respectable, if not pretty good (it's been a while since I last saw it). Rush Hour 1 was entertaining and 2 and 3 did more of the same, but I think most of the blame for their annoyances falls upon the shoulders of Chris Tucker (whom should never work again). I just feel like with action movies he is really good at that whole... action part? Yeah that's it. His character development is weak, but with God of War? Who cares? Who remembers anything about that game other than the part with the boobs and then a shit-ton of violence and timed button pushing boss battles. I don't think he is the perfect choice for this flick (maybe give Xavier Gens another go at a video game movie, Frontier(s) kicked ass right?) but he's hardly the worst (Gus Van Sant anyone?). Just relax and let this thing ride out and I'm sure most of you'll be angry because "its not like the game" but eventually you'll get over it and recognize that just because its based off the game, it won't ever actually be the game.
-
Noooooooooo *sobs*
-
That's all.
-
It's a videogame movie. I heartily approve. After this I hope he gets the rights to Echo the Dolphin.
-
Utterly brilliant. I laughed like holy hell.

About a guy who sits and gazes into a calm river.

"Aren't exactly the deepest when it comes to story" WHAT?!
by mr_sinister
One of the reasons the God of War games have been so successful is BECAUSE of how engaging the stories are. That UGO guy knows nothing. Just like the people who are saying the game story is 'terrible'. Loved the cliffhanger from God of War 2 and can't wait for 3. I'm interested in a movie adaptation but yeah, Ratner doesn't inspire much confidence.
-
Uwe Boll said in a chat a few weeks ago that there is really a screenplay for a Tetris movie floating around in Hollywood.
This been said: TERRENCE MALICK FOR SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS! -
I laughed at Money Talks, I thought Red Dragon was good (Although it does not come close to Manhunter)
-
Anyone watch "Code Monkeys" and see the episode about the ET video game?
Dave: Um right so ET is about this awesome alien who comes to Earth and, thats pretty much it. Lets go people!
Jerry: Okay, whats the kid's name? I need a name, a need a name, a need the kid's name.
Dave: Um Herman. Yeah Herman.
Larrity: Now, Are there any snakes in this movie?
Dave: Yes. In one scene, ET invites a snake to save the jews.
Mary: So what does ET do on Earth?
Dave: Um well, I mean he fights kids with a light saber, so that's good.
Mary: Why?
Dave: Um, because he's searching for the lost ark of the Covenant and he has to melt the Nazi's face off. Thats, thats how it works
Clarence: Does he find the Arc of the Covenant?
Dave: No, instead he dresses up like a woman so he can get an acting role on a soap opera.
Black Steve:Wait, who the f*** is ET?
Dave: So then he has to fight the Russians, because they won't let Herman dance in the town where he lives, because Russians hate dancing. -
nuff said

Mortal Kombat remains the best video game movie ever.even after those news.
yeah i judge rat-tners movie before i have even seen it,but i have seen Xmen3 and that is enough for conclusions.
-
Just follow the story and remeber to make Kratos a complete Riddick-style bastard.
-

Ratner's OK. It's the rating, budget and cast that concern me
by mr nicholas
-
I loved that game it had a sad beauty to it,it made you feel really guilty everytime one of the giants came crashing down. The music was great too.That game came closest to capturing the sadness, in the original Tomb Raider {before Lara became a full-on Jane Bond}Gods of War is great , but more of an enjoyable rollercoaster ride .I do love that Kratos encounters all the greats of Greek myth....and then bashes them to death!!!!My suggestion is Geraud Butler back again under a shit load of Hell boy thick make-up!.He can do the shouting no problem
-
He would be perfect to adapt this game. rom the flesh searing blades of Kratos to the freaky ass sirens and the gods themseleves it's some of the best design work I've seen put into a video game. I mean that Hades level was a trip. Why they would let Hackner do this is beyond me.
-
don't do anymore videogame movies, except for TETRIS! It could be about the race to make the perfect video game during the Cold War!
Suck on that Ratner! -
I mean it was ok....competent. But does that really qualify him to make major movies like an X3 (which mostly sucked btw)...As for Red Dragon, you know that Anthony Hopkins and Ed Norton thought the guy was a hack right? They berated him every day on set apparently...That doesn't strike me as a very competent director.
-
Come on, you know you guys want Tim Olyphant to play Kratos, considering how great and wonderful he was in Hitman. And he looks so natural being bald. :P
-
you all know this to be true! hollywood doesn't care about substance...it's all about effects and money...people will go see the movie to verify it's suckability...which will mean it makes money despite being terrible...which will mean sequels...and people going to see sequel to see if they "finally got it right." leading them to be let down again...then say...well, some kratos is better than no kratos...the vicious cycle of terrible comic and video game movies is our fault as much as it is hollywood's...the best way to make them listen it to totally ignore this kind of crap everytime it hits the cinema.
-
great game with a great story. it seems ratner just finds what i love and kills it.
-
Just like he did in the game. It's perfect!
-
He was always a monster and what pushes him over the edge is losing the one thing that made him less of a monster. Kind of remeinds me of The Saint of Killers in Preacher. If the writers could be allowed to forget they're working from a video game and seriously adapt the material we could have a pretty kickass barbarian epic.
-
I'm not sure why that hasn't sunk in. The best thing to do with game characters is rebuild 'em from scratch for the film world. Let the whiny homo fans cry about it, they wouldn't know a good story anyway.
-
SotC is the perfect telling a story the way it is. To properly convey the Perfect simplicity the Movie would have to have very little Dialouge and Wanderer Relationship with his horse would have to be symbolized. As for games not having good stories you have no idea what your talking I was surprised by the quality in the story of GTA 4 which blew my mind. There are nearly a dozen different Video games that not only do a hell of a job telling a story sometimes a better job then most movies.
-
Planescape:Torment calls bullshit
-
...as narrator...or the gibs will have to fly...
-
God of war has a great storyline.
It's not deep. You have never played the game obviously. Dickhead. -
Cheers mate! It constantly amazes me how Hollywood tries to twist profitable yet totally uncinematic IPs into a form that can be turned into a 90-minute story. Its strangely fascinating.
-
i'd wager we are guaranteed for Kratos to have a 'hilarious' sidekick now. and all his jokes will revolve around how Kratos is so cranky all the time. My money's on rob schneider for the role. 'I AM DA GAWD OF WAAAA!!
-
It was funny. Anyway, Ratner directing anything but traffic through a McDonalds Drive-thru is bad, bad news. "No video game has had a good story." Go away, non-video-game-playing noobtron 2000. And as far as people contently lowering the bar on who should make such and such a video game because it doesn't have much of a story or whatever else bullshit needs to grab some intelligence somehow. The premise of Jaws was pretty simplistic but it took a genuis like Spielberg to make it into something as cinematically masterful as it is. A good filmmaker can take just about any material and make it into something great. Unfortunately, Ratner is someone I don't even consider to be a filmmaker. He's a crapmaker, like an ass is.
