Omg, If bungie made a movie I would disown them (unless it was good) because I have seen so many games that people like go down the drain because they have been made into movies. Kind of like Tomb Raider I guess, even though I really didn't like it in the first place..

Let's make a list of all the videogame's that have been made into a movie.

1. Super Mario Bros.
2. Mortal Kombat (twice)
3. Tomb Raider (twice)
4. Resident Evil (soon to be twice)
5. House of the Dead
6. Final Fantasy

Now, someone tell me which of those are even decent? None. So I say don't even think about making a Halo movie, the novels are more than enough for me.-

I actually liked the Final Fantasy movie. It wasn't great, but it was a good movie with amazing CG graphics. The Resident Evil movie was OK, but still cracked me up since the people in it were just like those in every other horror movie.

If the Marines in Halo were like the guys from horror movies as soon as they saw a Flood (even if it didn't attack them) they'd be like "Ohmigod ohmigod! Shoot it!" "No, don't shoot it, run away!" "Hey. I think we should shoot it!" "No!" "I'm leaving." "OK, but we should shoot it." *Flood attacks one Marine* "Help meeeee!!!" "Eh, he'll be fine." *Flood kills Marines one by one before a shot is fired, leaving only 2 left* "Hey, we should run now." "No, let's shoot it." *one Marine survives* "I should split up."

ANYWAYS, if the script was written by Eric Nylund and the movie was OK'ed by Bungie guys every step of the way I'd have no problem with it. Also, it should be done completely in CG. If it's not in CG, they could simply have a stuntman play the MC since you never see his face and have the original voice actor do the voices for the movie.

Haven't seen the FF movie, but the CG is awesome. As for RE, it was an atrocity. I hate that movie with a passion. What kind of defense system uses lasers that can be dodged and not bring out the "grid laser" until the end. To be at all practical, it would just be a grid laser the whole time, or just gas them. Or guns. Or anything other than dodgeable lasers.

i posted one of these also heh...but if they made a CG Halo like final fantasy, then booyea, it would be sweet....i think the pople who don't want are WAY to critical about movies and look at every smallest detail...IT"S A MOVIE< CHILL DUDE...Tomb Raider wasn't a bad movie, if you pay attention to the story and understand where it came from, it's pretty freakin good with action and helluva hot actor(Angelina Jolie) I just tink some dudes like to over-criticize potentially good movies cuz they have nothin better to do....

I liked the anime in Kill Bill, and some of the Animatrix stuff too. Never really got too much into anime though.

Ugh... anime has its place, and the Chief is not that kind of character. Sure, it's fun but I have a feeling that animezation would kill the Halo movie faster than if the Chief was played by Richard Simmons.

Don't get me wrong, I love some anime (GITS, Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, etc.), but it still wouldn't work for Halo.

Also, it's physically impossible since the Chief isn't female.

That s excatly what they should do and if it sucks then it's bungie fault because they would have ok'd every part of the movie.

Actually a wholey good Halo movie is possible, just base it on Fall of Reach. Usually ones that try to follow the video game plots suck because they mess up the video game plots.

No it's just that all the black soldiers in the game look alike, they used the same sprite for them all.....that just sounds bad....


Anyway, a Halo movie is possible if based of FoE
