Although this would be the best thing--like a Resident Evil Degeneration or Advent Children, it's not the Hollywood way...

...but me oh my, this looks like it's gonna be an over-the-top gore fest. I'm hoping it can elicit the same reaction as the most recent Rambo movie. I was cheering in the audience during that flick...

2 - I could be wrong about this
I WAS THINKING FOR THE MAIN CHARACTER MARCUS......The dude from anaconda blood orchid....the boat captain....he has the deep voice and he could be gruffed up.......he has the right build....I just dont believe getting an overly HUGE dude to play the part would be wise......IDK though just my humble opinion....being that there aren't any oscar worthy lines I think he could pull it off quite well

4 - All Action, No Brains (No spoilers)
"There's not much chit-chat. Don't expect long-winded conversations about the savagery of war, observations of the frailty of human society or concerns over the destruction of a planet; the Gears movie (so far, at least) is a place for stupid one-liners and ultra-violence."

Oh dear. This is why game to movie translations simply don't work - they think that all people want to see is a 90 minute action sequence. Any character development, guys..?

"There are scenes where Marcus and Dom eviscerate entire squads with their chainsaws. Marcus' first Locust kill is via a vicious curb-stomp. He also manages to blow four Locust's heads off in succession with a longshot, we witness extreme acts of torture and bloodshed on an epic scale, as a Locust horde mows down a crowd of women and children."

No comment.

Paul Verhoeven did a great job with Starship Troopers back in 1997.

He could make Gears of War work.

6 - I think
The game is full of gore, but it's not that bad since it's a video game.
I don't think I would enjoy seeing real people being chainsawed on the big screen.
