Damn, all we need is a Kratos and we got ourselves a God of War. This sounds good. It's good to see that Brosnan didn't suffer from the Bond bug, like Roger Moore did, which is funny because Moore seems to be the only actor who portrayed bond for a good duration and doesn't have anything else good in his filmography. Another thing that's good is to see Pierce and Bean work together again, from Goldeneye.
