I think he's an excellent character for the medium. Take him out of the medium, and you'll see the flaws more clearly. The story is probably only good for a single movie in its current state, since you can pick out character growth in a relatively small bunch of scenes across many of the games (Chains of Olympus had you pushing your the memory of your dead son away from you, didn't it? I always liked that part)

Kratos is so focused on revenge across so many games that it can cause fatigue. I personally didn't care for Ascension's story though its gameplay kept my attention. With the new GoW, I think things are reversed. The gameplay doesn't look as interesting as the story. I don't know if that's a good thing or not since it's too early to tell. I'm hopeful though.
