Do I think there should be a Halo movie? Yes, definitely.
Do I think it would be a good movie? No. As a movie, it might be good, but as a movie based off an already set-up storyline, it would probably suck, comparatively.
Perhaps it can be done right and good, like the Lord of the Rings movies... but it'd be extremely hard to do. Here's what I think should be done to help it:
-It should be CG, so badly-chosen actors wouldn't ruin things with wrong looks (like what happened with the Dune miniseries (actors, save Ian McNiece (played Baron Harkonnen) in no way fit the physical description of the characters in the book), although, as a miniseries it was still good). It also gives the people who did the voice overs for the game to do voice-overs for this...
-It should start with the events of The Fall of Reach, with a little bit more explaination of the Human situation of the time, maybe.
-It should be several movies, each following the books, and events in the game that were not described in The Flood.
-It should follow the whole storyline, from The Fall of Reach to whatever.
-If not CG, then the Master Chief should either be another Darth Vader (actor in-suit with voice-over by another actor), or should be played by Vin Diesel.
I agree entirely with you.
I would be glad to make this movie in the future if its not already made.
I also had another idea for the movie(s). What about making a movie off of each book, making four movies/miniseries. It would be just like the books but movie style, couldn't wait for the next movie to come out. It would have lots of suspence, tons of action, and some plot twists mixed in. And I think Bungie would have to be involved with the movie. Also for the Covenant, I think they would be digitaly put in, but the MC and every non-human would be real.
