I think that it will do awesome because Peter Jackson is producing it and he did a pretty good job with King Kong.

Well, Peter Jackson is producing it.

But who can say?. I mean, it`s not even in production yet. :/

Still, i got sick of Halo once the sequel came out so i couldn`t be arsed getting hyped up for it.

sucking yes

Why is it every time I make a thread with a poll it makes two threads one with a poll and one without.

Meh, Idon't think much of Game ->Movie conversions. The Producer needs full control over the reins, not bungie

In general, I can only think of one decent game to movie conversion: Silent Hill. So, no, I don't got high hopes on the Halo movie at all. =/

I honestly don't know. Im looking forward to it though.

Yeah SH was quite a Movie, Lets hope Hollywood learned the super mario bros lesson

Okay, you're taking a shitty game and making a movie out of it.

It'll flop worse than Gigli.

LOL! I thought for a while that Gigli was a figment of my imagination, i doubt it will flop though, the huge fanbase of the Halo games may possibly save it from that. hard to say all the same.

the desing, the charakters and most of the story of the Halo universe are allready set
so yes, it will definitly suck

LOL! I thought for a while that Gigli was a figment of my imagination, i doubt it will flop though, the huge fanbase of the Halo games may possibly save it from that. hard to say all the same.

There are many Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez fans. ;)

Simply put, some people will see it because they like the game. Most people will not see it because it'll get 1 star or less from all the critics.

The only reason I'm not going to say it will be bad already is because of Peter Jackson, but then I look back and say that almost every game-to-movie adaptation has been a total bust. Still, a ton of Halo freaks will flock to see Master Chief on the big screen.

Well i chose maybe, because most movies made off games always suck(at least most of the time).This is because directors or producers tend to add there own ideas about the game into the movie, which gives a whole new freakin layout and storyline.Anyway, lets wait and see.It is being produced by Peter Jackson right.

I'll let you know when I've seen it if it sucks or not. :O

It could be very good, or it could completely suck. It mostly depends on whether the movie stays relatively true to the games and how good the action scenes are, although I have a real doubt that Halo will produce a movie worth buying.

Do you think that the Halo movie will suck?

Yes.

In general, I can only think of one decent game to movie conversion: Silent Hill. So, no, I don't got high hopes on the Halo movie at all. =/

I liked the resident evil movies a lot fair and Doom enough i could name a couple of movies to stay away from House of the dead :notgood: it has to be the worst movie i have ever seen (and i have seen some bad ones) and seemingly Alone in the dark is utter crap.


LOL! I thought for a while that Gigli was a figment of my imagination, i doubt it will flop though, the huge fanbase of the Halo games may possibly save it from that. hard to say all the same.

Fair enough BP Mario was really bad. :laugh:

I hear games converted into movies are usually under-budgeted because of all the die hard fans the games have resulting in them being rubbish

We just better hope Halo isn't under budgeted

Well you can see some of game===>movie examples. Tomp Raider, doom, resident evil, (even) street fighter and the newest one, silent hill.

Some of the above movies can be good, but mostly the games===>movie transfer suffer because of the failure of the producer to make a movie good enough as the game. Tomp Raider for example. Its a bit pathetic that i can find people easily that beilive that tomp raider games come from the movies.

The primary reason for bad game-to-movie translations is the lack of support from the game producer. With every Uwe Boll movie there has been little to no support, and while even with support he would probably make terrible movies, at least he could get the story right. If you watch any of these movies, it's quite apparent that none of the directors have played the games, save for a few of them.

The only good ones I can think of are Silent Hill - that comes from the series creator's direct involvement as co-director - and Tomb Raider, mostly because Angelina Jolie plays the perfect Lara Croft. Everything else, while being fairly decent as a movie, is utterly horrible when you've played the game and know what the movie is supposed to be. Resident Evil (not scary) and Doom (changed the entire story) fall under this category.

Halo movie will suck just like the game.

I'm anticipating Resident Evil 3 just for the simple fact I saw the first one when I was in 5th grade and fell in love with it. It clings to me.

Silent Hill had a lot of support. For example, all the monsters in the movie were desighned by konami.

I read a lot of reviews for SH, and they were of very mixed opinions, Has anyone watched it

I had no idea there was going to be one

I read a lot of reviews for SH, and they were of very mixed opinions, Has anyone watched it

Yes, it stays true to the story and is pretty scary. It is quite good.

Alrite, thanks.

Yeah, if the movie stays very true to the game, and they don't try to overdo it Hollywood style, then it should be a good movie.

Well i do hope they keep it true to the games because i thought they were really good but
I don't know why but i think they will overdo it a bit and it might be good or it will be god awful.

it all matters what way he goes about it like if he thinks hey its halo we are talking about everyone thinks its the best so we will have no problem as everyone will watch it while if he goes about it lets make a good movie it should be a really good movie to watch

W.T.F.

As long as they stick to "Master Chief runs around kicking everyone's ass" and don't try to put any bullshit love story in it, it will be a cheesy action flick with neat special effects.

Otherwise, it will be pure shit.

W.T.F.
what i mean is that if he cares more about the profits and not the quality of the movie because he will not put as much work into it and thats what i mean

You wouldn't approve of Master Chief falling in love with Cortana!?

LOL, thats a very plausable plot-line

What is all this Peter Jackson will make Halo good because he is producing nonesense? The producer does not make the movie. The producer just makes sure the movie gets made and hire's the director and and depending on the movie the rest of the crew. The Director is the one that actually guides the movie's vision. Also Peter Jackson is not a good director the only things he does well are making sure he gets the best CG guys he can find and spending a lot of money.

"Halo Director Announced

Are you busy in the summer of 2008? Because someone, somewhere, is getting in line right now to buy a ticket to the motion picture adaptation of Halo�. This exciting project, which will be produced by geek gods and Academy Award� winners Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh under their WingNut Films banner for Universal Pictures and Twentieth Century Fox, has finally announced a director.

The Halo motion picture will be helmed by Neill Blomkamp, making his feature film debut. Blomkamp is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and original artists currently working in short films and commercial advertising. Halo will be distributed domestically by Universal and internationally by Fox. Visual effects, miniatures, and creature design and creation will all be handled by Jackson's award-winning Weta Digital Ltd. and Weta Workshop, Ltd., most recently known for their Oscar-worthy work on The Lord of the Rings films.

A native of South Africa, Blomkamp directed the acclaimed 2005 short film, Alive in Joburg, that depicted a future in which extraterrestrials have become refugees. Last year, Blomkamp also received three Clio Awards and a Visual Effects Society Award for his television commercial Citroen-Alive with Technology. In 2004, Blomkamp was recognized as "One of the Top Five Directors to Watch" at the First Boards Awards and was a featured artist at the Saatchi & Saatchi New Directors Showcase at Cannes. He has also been nominated for an Emmy award for his work on an episode of James Cameron's Dark Angel.

thats good news,considering he madethis (http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1185812222812358837) short film.

Okay, first of all Halo the game sucked, so my expectations of the movie? Worse than the movie adaptation of DOOM, and that sucked hairy donkey balls in piss.

Why do alot of people on this forum hate Halo so much? I thought that it the best game on the Xbox considering that there arent very many good games on that system.

I'd it'll suck

sucking yes
you just read my mind..

I hope it does well

I think the story of Halo was good, but I get bored easily of the game. I also heard that Peter Jackson is now the director. I can't really remember where I heard it or what, but I hope it does good.

I also heard something about either Denzel Washington or Samuel L. Jackson being in it. According to one of my mates that is.

Um, best game? Try worst game, and people dislike the game because it sucks big donkey dong.

The story of Halo aint something special. Its a FPS not an RPG anw

Thats a dumb excuse.
Half Life is also a pretty straightforwards fps but the design and story are all top notch.

Won't suck If Samuel L. Jackson is the main star of the show:

"Enough is enough! I've HAD it with these mother fuckin' covenenant on this mother fuckin' spaceship" or something like that.

Actually if it was just a clone of snakes on a plane set in the HALO universe it would be amazing~

Personally, I am not too hot on it being that there are more misses in the game-to-movie conversion department, however I'll wait until I've seen it to make my judgement.

JFTR, I liked the Doom movie.

SUCK YES IT WILL SUCK

I imagine it will be shit.

I havent played half-life so i cant continue the conversation :(

there's a halo movie coming out? i selected maybe because silent hill was a good movie but then again, i don't know.

i dont care if it sucks. were going. .. ill drive back.

Ok but FuzzyRumpkins is paying for the gas.

hahaha! halo.

everyone remember prez? he's cool.

You guys havent been following the halo movie production...I have...There wont be any "hollywoodization" so it wont suck like DOOM...and I think Resident Evil sucks not halo ...pure unrealistic illogical bullshit if you ask me...Anyway..WHATS THE MATTER WITH YOU PEOPLE????? Peter jackson is producing it for God's sake! Did Lord of the Rings Suck???? [I know you do]

So a biological weapon gone terribly wrong is "pure unrealistic illogical bullshit," but a genetically souped-up human being taking on an entire alien race (aliens that just HAPPEN to speak English!) with his half-ton armor is completely believeable? Riiiiiight. Also, Peter Jackson is not God. The LotR flicks were good, but given the source material and the budget, anyone who isn't a complete hack could have made good films.

Hey the year was 2552...who knows what stuff might be invented...and the covenant were intelligent beingss and I am sure you can learn french if you wanted to...

But in order to learn French, I'd need to be exposed to it. Kind of hard to be exposed to a language if you kill all of its speakers.

edit: You also failed to answer any of my other points.

Nope read the story...dude..they have been monitering the humans for like a few years..

Yep, and "like a few years" is enough for EVERY FREAKING member of the Covenant, including the brand new Grunts to speak near-perfect English. Give me a break.

I don't even need to read this thread.. I will after I post this.. but..

All game to movie renditions suck. Period.

this thread was made before any real solid information was let out about the movie. dont critisize us for speculation. or my bad spelling.

but, anyway, High Five! for being 1 of maybe five people here who like halo. but then i also read in the january O7 issue of OXM that Quote:
"[I]HALTED, officialy the production the halo movie. last issue we reported that cobackers fox and universial pulled funding for the film, but, peter jackson's production intended to soldier on. Well, not now. - the projects status has been updated to "indefinite hold" though your intial feeling is probbly on of dissipointment, consider this: Would you rather have no halo on film, or onewhose quality wouold waloow in Uwe Boll terrritory? We thought so..." un quote. ... so i dunno. i still hope that they imorrtalize halo in the magic that is film.

I am sure you guys wont uderstand covenant language..so its common sense that Bungie should make them speak english..unless you know that language...which you dont...EGM said the movie was on....hmm....maybe its changed...crap...

Yea Liger, definently didn't understand much of that. And yes, I think the movie will suck.

Which is, of course, complete bollocks. I don't recall any Covenant speaking English in the first Halo. Besides, the English wasn't voiced just for the gamers' edification, as the Arbiter speaks with several humans, including the Chief, Johnson, and Commander Keyes.

To all halo fans, if you want to know why people here hate halo so much it's because we're in the wrong freaking forum. I mean look at the site's name for christ sakes it's a 'shrine' to FF, hmmmm... I wonder which popular game starts with FF and is one game series that never freaking ends, oh, I know it's Final Fantasy. This is where all the nerdy RPG players come and post. And I my self only (EVER) liked two RPGs. Those are The Elder Scrolls series and the Golden Sun series. Other than that, action is where it's at. BTW I think that Peter Jackson will do a good job of making th e Halo movie, But it's too early to tell for sure.

That's got to be one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

It's even dumber when you read it again to try and make sense of it.

Who's like me and didn't even KNOW there was a Halo movie coming out? Fine I'll just be the only one then and sulk in the corner, with my triple flavoured mashmallow melted styled gummy bears...

You're not alone, I found out a month or so ago. It's got a good producer and characters to work with, they just need to stay away from the bubble gum. It should be almost as dark as Alien: 2, the marines just as rough. The game? The only people who hated it sucked at it, especialy part 2. They (fans) actualy wrote letters, stating that the game was just too hard and they got no comment of course. I played and beat both games on legendary.

Hey guys, look at this. Atom can be an ignorant cunt about things other than religion and race!

Kiss m'black ass Prak. I hate X-Box (cos microsoft is evil) but I dug Halo, It's a classic shooter.

That doesn't change the fact that the comment I quoted was ridiculously foolish.

The Halo movie will suck more than Zito's contract.

That doesn't change the fact that the comment I quoted was ridiculously foolish.

I don't know about all that Prak. I hear what your saying but I do believe most folk who didn't like the game probably weren't good at it. Think about it, if Mikey doesn't play it couse' he doesn't like it, he probably won't be good at it, will he?

Of course, if you're basing that on your own experience and inferences you've drawn from it, then you should have to revise your entire position when I tell you that I played both of them for about 3-4 hours each, found them to be absurdly easy (on the normal difficulty level), and still disliked them.

Prak wins, flawed victory!

Funny, I disliked the game simply because it was mediocre, the AI was pathetic and that it lacks any worthwhile features that set it apart from the other FPS games.

This statement is fallacious, Microsoft is actually pretty reliable and dilligent, they provide a good common medium for technology and entertainment. Plus, they donate to charity. Also, Halo is hardly a classic shooter, that title belongs to Half-Life, Quake, Doom, MDK and Duke Nukem 3-D.

Yah, it realy isn't a classic shooter but it was fun to me. Still, there's a lot you don't know about Microsoft Joan!

Okay, so what is it about Microsoft that makes it evil? Is it run by sweatshops populated by chinese immigrants?

but in like 30 years it will be.

In the future there will only be two languages. Chinese and English. Just like in the future we're all gonna be brown!

Yah, it realy isn't a classic shooter but it was fun to me. Still, there's a lot you don't know about Microsoft Joan!

Well why dont you tell us a few? Maybe Bill sells drugs and the whole Microsoft stuff its just a way to hide it :-P

The various glitches and super bounces you could do really broke the single player campaign mode (Halo 2) and I personally just have a strong disliking for the first Halo.
I mainly hate Halo because I tried to get into it a few times due to the fact that about 40% of my friends are regular players on XBOX Live. I just could not take the annoying kids who would play online and shout things like, "OMG WTF UR SUCH A FUKIN NOOB HOLY SHIT" all the time. This is the same reason why I do not play Counter-Strike or World of Warcraft.

That's because Xbox Live sucks. Well, the service itself doesn't suck, but like just about every other interweb gaming service, it seems like three-fourths of the folks you meet are complete morons. At least, that's my experience. Halo 2 happened to be the worst for that, in my experiences.

Yeah, I think it'll suck. Not because it's Halo or anything, but because noone will take it seriously. At best, it'll be Starship Troopers with less gore, sex, and 'LULZ ADVERTISEMENT RECRUIT NAOW FUTURE KIDS'.
