The game doesn't have much of a story, besides a terrible distortion of mythology.
I say Uwe Boll gets this one, too.

Its not always about a complex plot. God of War tells a story through emotion and it tells it better than ninety percent of ANYTHING out there. I read a lot of books, watch a lot of movies, and there are few things which have the kind of impact GoW does.
The liberal use of mythology doens't equate to a bad movie. Spiderman for instance. (Comics are a form of mythology at this point.) The story is that Peter builds web shooters. In the movie, the web comes out naturally. This is a major difference. It seperates Peter and Spidey more. But the movie didn't suffer. It thrived. So that's not a valid argument.
If I had my way, I'd probably go with Guillerm del Toro as someone else mentioned. The guy is good enough to make this a good movie, and not a mindless action flick.
(On a side note, if I could go back in time and get Victor Hugo to write a book about Kratos, it would be amazing.)
