A Halo Movie is a matter of which I have mixed feelings. There are many reasons why halo should be made a movie.
1. The F****** rocks
2. There are already scripts for the movie. THE THREE BOOKS!!!!!
3. Bungie already decided not sell the rights of Halo to anyone. So they keep control of what goes on.
4. Good storyline, read the books, they are the best.
5. Many people play halo, and they want to see a Halo movie.
Now the reasons a Halo movie should not be made. ( I personally want to see one, but to keep the rep of Bungie in place, another side of why a movie shouldn't be made also has to be pointed out)
1. The whole violence thing would throw out young halo players from watching it. At least where I live you have to be 17 or older to watch rated R, or no movie. And parents might not want there kids watching such violence ( in my opinion violence is a great part of a movie).
2. Movies made after video games have has bad reputation, the movie would be underated (assuming bungie did a good job)
3. Bungie makes video games, not movies. Microsoft makes computers, not movies.
4. Where's the experience for movies? Just a question. I am sure Bungie and Microsoft would put one hundred percent into trying to make it a great movie. But they don't have experience. They would have to pull outside sources ( example Hollywood.)
5. Not everyone likes games, so why would they want to see a movie made after a game. Bungie is not going to make movie for halo if it doesn't apply to mass audience, an audience beyond gamers.
6. Money is an issue here. Even though Bungie and Microsoft are rich. They use that money to make new products. Research and Development. Employees. Etc. Would they have enough to still run their regular day jobs, and still house a huge movie studio at the same time?
These are just some questions and comments I have about this movie. I fully agree a movie should be made. Preferrably 3 movies based of the books. But there is a thing called reality that we all have to face. So in order to make a great movie. We have to point out the problems with making a movie. And try to fix them. For example not everyone is going to like it. Period. DOT. But how could Halo apply to the masses?
