I think people need to take this over-excessive violence and gore in the way it is intended.
For comparisons' sake, look at Quentin Tarantino's films.
Over-excessive violence? Sure, but if anything it's a trademark style that adds a unique creative touch to his work.
I doubt God of War III will be on the same level, either cinematically or otherwise, as those films, but I can't knock it for a creative decision such as this.
