That's the thing though. Ratner makes mediocre versions of what should be better movies.
See Red Dragon and X-men 3 compared to Man Hunter and X-men 1/2. I mean, him doing Conan, ugh.
Thing is, Ratner I think deep down wants to be one of these all time great directors like Spielberg, Scorcese, Soderbergh, etc. but he never will be. He's the definition mainstream directing hack IMHO. I mean those guys do a heist movie, and Ratner does After The Sunset. Someone does The Bourne Ultimatum, and Rat does Rush Hour 3 and exclaims it to be a VERY REAL THRILLER.
Good news = Rat does not do God of War movie.
Spot-on summation of Ratner, Vile. It's like he's desperate for validity or something.
Sure, just like X-Men 3, Conan will probably look cool at times and have some exciting visuals but will ultimately just be pretty superficial and generally lacking in substance; looking good means nothing if there's not something behind it.
Seriously, a Ratner directed Conan will probably end up being less memorable than Kevin Sorbo's Kull the Conqueror.
