OK this is my first post ever, because u guys (the ones who are always posting his comments) ussually have it all said. BUT (and plz don't kill me if u think the idea totally sux) why not make a HALO movie based on the HALO UNIVERSE instead of basing the movie on the book or the games. COME ON, IF THE MASTER CHIEF IS THE MAIN CHARACTER U KNOW HE WONT DIE. I want a halo movie too, but i want to be surprised by the events, and not just go to see something that was infinetely superior the time i played it, or pictured in my mind after reading it. PLUS Master Chief woulndt be a good main character since he cannot express his feelings. Probably he could be in the movie, but the main point of view should belong to someone else. Someone who can express his pain by seeing his ppl being killed by covenants. The main character has to be sum1 vulnerable, some1 who could die because u know he is not important for the rest of the story, and that way everytime there is a fight in the movie u r not 100% sure he will survive. Master Chief could die in the movie, but i would prefer him to die in a game after a freakingly awesome boss battle and sum memorable encrypted events or cinematics right after the credits. Then, the movie should portrait all the horrors of the covenant invasion on earth. Something like Saving private Ryan, but with aliens. In a war that humanity cannot with. The movie could explore the feelings of resigantion of thousand of soldiers being thrown into a war no1 asked for, everybody is obligated to fight, but no1 exactly knows if there is a chance of victory. THEN, WHATS MASTER CHIEFS MOTIVE? i mean, he wants to save earth, but what for? Does he has a family, he has a girlfriend, or he is just a noble guy who will fight for earth cuz he is the only one who can.... that last one is a really noble motive, but it could be hardly protrayed by a director, and it would turn out into a superhero kind of thing (i.e. SUPERMAN). By using other characters the director would have freedom to explore the different motives of every character, and i said every because i wish there wasnt a main character at all, but instead of that, a squad, in which no member is more important than the other, and obviously someone is gonna be sacrifized. The motives of these characters could be family, friends or simply good ol' earth, but by exploring the motives of these characters different faces of the covenant invasion could be told. IMAGINE a movie that actually makes the public take the covenant invasion as serious as the second world war is taken in private ryan or other great movies. I dont want a drama either. I want a lot of action, but nonsense action will screw up this movie. Then, nothing that has not appeared in the videogames or named in the books should be added, and if they do so, it should be approved by bungie. I mean, no super vehicle or super weapon, OR NEW COVENANT RACE that could make a difference should be in the movie. Another thing....NO LOVE DRAMA. With some directors (u know i am talking about u lucas) the movie could lose its focus, and end up being a romance story rather than a war movie. I mean, the priority of these characters is to recover earth so they can continue with their lifes. There is no sense in saving the life of a woman if have no place to love her. I still have many things in my head, but i want to make this short, so my last point is that if the movie is more like a side story, it could be on live action instead of cg and that way the focus would be on the plot instead of the eye candy. FF: The Spirits Within made the mistake of believeing that eye candy would make up for its lack of a consistent plot.
If u guys wanna hear more, ASK ME.
I havent beat halo that many times. I dont own at multiplayer, and I havent read entirely the 2 books, but i appreciatte this franchise, and i wish the HALO MOVIE (if it is made) would follow this guidelines.
