Kids who jerk off over Sony tech specs. Fine, and "fans of God of War.".
I did just say that considering his entire story it's likely he wouldn't be black, cos he's a Spartan Greek, but he wouldn't necessarily be white. He'd probably have extremely dark hair, naturally darkened skin etc.
People can only name actors they know, there could be an unknown that was born for this role.

and good point, there could be an unknown who would be better.

Yeah, and it's not exactly The Matrix plotwise is it? So this movie is essentially gonna appeal to popcorn-eating, Saturday night movie-goer also, even if they haven't played the game, so skin TONE isn't exactly going to matter to these people, and it shouldn't matter THAT much to the fans if the movie is awesome.
It doesn't require Shakespearian acting.

It doesn't require Shakespearian acting.Exactly....VIN DIESEL.....Or maybe Hugh Jackman? He'd bring good acting into the mix.-AC
Not big enough, listen to yourself.
That's why movie directors do not listen to people like you, because you do not realise what casting takes.
Vin Diesel is shit, Hugh Jackman looks nowhere near like him and yet you'd settle for him over Arnold Vosloo, who's more or less a spitting image.
Actors DO bulk up for roles, you know. Christian Bale from The Machinist to Batman Begins?

Kratos has no hair nor does he have "naturally darkened skin."

Have you actually seen my post? In the context I was referring to the region from which he hails, and certain characteristics of those who are born there.
He's Greek, it's natural to assume he has Greek characteristics, bar the hair.

It's a character based on a videogame, not on accurate history.

I had to stay. I love you. heartbeatVosloo just doesnt have the same demanding physical presence that Vin has on screen, muscular or not. watch the Riddick movies and tell me Vin doesnt come across as a tough guy/hero type.
You came back cos I didn't care that you left.
Vin Diesel looks permanently constipated, has all the agility and movement of a rock and the voice of a helium-influenced boy.
Vosloo could conceivably bulk up enough, it's not impossible. I think you just have a thing for Vin Diesel.

Arnold Vosloo doesn't actually look nothing like Kratos, Vin Diesel certainly doesn't look like him.
And exactly, it's not based on accurate history, so if Hounsou represents Kratos well, he should play him.

and I just happen to think that Vin is a perfect action star. can Stallone act? can Ahnuld act? can Van Damme act? can Jackie Chan act? NO. but they all rock in action roles.

You wouldn't see Jackie Chan playing The Terminator, you wouldn't see Arnold Schwarzenegger playing Detective Lee.
You shouldn't see Vin Diesel playing someone like Kratos.
